Sikorski Saga

From many angles, I think Luella and Goobers are the same length! Her 4 month appointment is on the 9 th , so stay tuned for all the official stats.

Christmas in Minnesota! The Sikorski Family before their long road trip . Luella developed expensive taste as she loves to eat her lobster! Tim swears Luella is a future Wildcat. Goobs trying to find where Mom and Dad hid the presents. Tim and Luella in front of our little tree. We know how to make Army lodging (hotel room) into a great Christmas! Kyla and Luella (still sleeping) in front of the tree. Santa brought Luella a crinkly bunny teething ring mirrored rattle stuffed animal. She loved tearing off the paper! Goobs loved the paper even more than Luella! A Christmas feast of Cornish game hens stuffed with sausage herb stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, broccoli, and true Rasmussen tradition - half a pie per person with a full Dutch apple pie and 2 slices of pumpkin. We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Luella helping Kyla with Christmas cooking. Yes, she's in her Halloween costume. It's the warmest clothing she has! Kyla showing off Luella's tail and how closely she resembles Flip the Beanie Baby. Going to Macy's to see the Mary Poppins display! Kirsten, Maren, Isaac and Peter. Luella's first time on the light rail in Minneapolis. Still waiting to see Santa and Mary Poppins. Tim, Luella, Kyla, Laura, Anna. Early Christmas Eve dinner. Anna, Tim, Luella, Kyla, Laura. The rest of the Christmas Eve dinner table. Laura, Peter, Isaac, Dad, Mom, Maren, Kirsten, Anna, Luella and Kyla. Luella learned to suck her thumb!

Pearl Harbor Day spent freezing at the Navy Pier in Chicago...also the day Tim and Kyla reaffirmed when they retire, it won't be north of Denver. Wrigley Field...we'll be back some day when the Cubs are playing.

Dan and Georgette are great hosts! Thank you! Congrats on your upcoming wedding cruise! Luella and Precious becoming buddies. Too bad we can't say the same for Goobers. Luella learning to hold her own bottle. If only she did that all the time!

Goobs sums up this move - are we done yet? Luella learns hand-eye coordination! Baby has some big feet to follow!

We got to Maryland on December 11 th and spent the week looking at rentals. We didn't think we could afford to buy after our trip in October. After we finally decided which townhouse to rent, our realtor had us look at one last townhouse to buy. We decided to go for it! It is a slight fixer-upper, but mostly cosmetic stuff. The kitchen is the first thing we'll fix - especially the mint-lime green cabinets. Didn't think that mint and lime green could be in the same color, but somehow they are. All Kyla's time watching HGTV and TLC while pregnant is going to come in handy while sprucing up the place! The townhouse complex looks like it could be a good neighborhood. We have a community pool and playground just past our parking lot. We checked and there are no sex offenders on our street. Our realtor said we were the first couple to check that before buying in all his 20 years of real estate sales...and one of 4 couples who read the contract while sitting there. We should...
