Maile and I made a new summer mix and this song by Tegan and Sara features prominently. It’s fun 🙂

Giada Maile

Maile and Mommy made pasta FROM SCRATCH this weekend … and it was yummy!

(In fact, I ate it so fast, I forgot to take a picture of the end result 😉

Maile Duck

by Papa K on May 21, 2013

We received our latest Kiwi Crate and it turned our daughter into a duck!

(BTW – Can’t recommend Kiwi Crate highly enough if you have kids in the 3-5 range).

Lauren had a big milestone today while Christine and I were at work – she rolled over! Our nanny, Millie, texted us all excited and then later sent along the video proof.

Things I love about this video:

(1) Lauren has been trying this for a couple weeks now, but all of sudden she makes it look effortless…

(2) Once she rolls over, she eats couch for a bit and realizes that the other side isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be 😉

(3) Millie said that instead of napping, Lauren just kept rolling over all afternoon – I think she realizes that she needs to figure out the round trip stat!

Daddy Kangaroo

One of Maile’s friend’s dad took a great picture of Lauren and I at one of the birthday parties (we’ve been on quite a birthday party circuit lately – three(!) this past weekend!)

Grandma Jill and Papa Mike came to visit last weekend. We had a great time seeing them. It was a beautiful weekend in the city, so we spent a lot of time outside. Grandma and Papa also made sure they spent plenty of quality time with their girls – Papa, in particular, hadn’t seen Lauren since she was born so he had a lot of fun making up for lost time! Grandma and Maile read LOTS of books and did lots of projects together.

We also made sure we took some pictures before Grandma and Papa left…

Let's do this.

Let's do this.

The Monster Battle

by Papa K on May 14, 2013

In this corner, at 3 feet tall and 35 pounds, MAILE GIRL…

Maile Girl bringing the ROAR - watch out!

Those claws look pretty sharp...

Hold on, let me get my monster teeth ready...

Hold on, let me get my monster teeth ready...

ARRRRRRR! Shrink away in fear!

ARRRRRRR! Shrink away in fear!

And, in this corner, hailing from the north side of Chicago, the PAPA MONSTER…

Child, my monster hand is strong, watch out...

Child, my monster hand is strong, watch out...

Papa Monster all up in your face!

Papa Monster all up in your face!

Well played, Papa, well played...
