Katja turned 5 months old on Wednesday!


Just checking - yep, she's finally bigger than the cat, by quite a bit.


Mom! Goobers is touching me!

All fear the Alberta Clipper! The Alberta Clipper that ravaged the Midwest hit Maryland today. The high got to 24 degrees above zero and the snow that fell overnight accumulated and melted about an hour after I took this picture. Tomorrow the low is supposed to be 9 and high is 21 above zero. As I watched the highs in Fargo settle around -40 with wind chill, I wondered how I ever survived 24 winters in Montana and North Dakota/Minnesota. It's probably because I didn't know any better. Oh and the best part is that the schools here were closed or opened two hours late. Life continued as normal in the Midwest, but not so much here.

I love the picture with the cat touching Katja and she looks so worried. One of those moments where as long as she has her thumb she is ok but nervous. I totally agree with you and the living and surving in the MN/ND area for so long. I don´t know if I would survive anymore.

KYLA!! Okay I have to confess that I have been following your blog ever since you left Colorado and had your first little girl! I know I know I should have written or done something but I'm a slacker. So CONGRATULATIONS on two beautiful little girls! We are actually in Leavenworh right now at command and staff school. We will be leaving the first of June and heading back to 10th group! We were actually living in Virginia Beach when you guys came down for your vacation last year. I know I know I am horrible for stalking you and not letting you know I'm stalking you. Anyway, is the army going to move you guys out here for just 12 weeks? If you need any reconnesance (sp?) done while I'm here let me know. Again I promise I"ll stop secretly stalking you and do it publicly now. I have a blog if you are ever bored and want to see what we've been doing for the past two years. http://bootsieandbull.blogspot.com

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
