Trip to Berlin

Unfortunately, on January 18, our car was broken into and my backpack was stolen--with all my stuff.  Except the apartment keys.  Just everything--passport, driver's license, insurance cards, bank card, social security card, etc...just everything.  I was not a happy camper.

Well, since my passport was stolen, I had to go personally to Berlin to apply for a new one.  We decided to use the trip and get paperwork done for the boys as well.  I am really happy that everything worked out.  Now both boys are on the same schedule for passports--we can make one trip for both boys from now on.



All my paperwork.

We got a hotel the night before and it was right across from a great playground.  The boys had so much fun!

End of Jan

I'll try to start catching up!!  At the end of Jan we had a lot of snow!  The boys enjoyed the mountain of snow not far from our house.

Beauty

Papi got home from rehab and the boys were so happy!!!  And I was too.  Nolan just couldn't sit still for a picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Visiting Papi

We got to visit Papi at rehab--it was about a 45 minute drive one way.  We were only able to do it about once a week.  Thankfully, he was only there 3 weeks!  The boys enjoyed playing hide and seek in Papi's room! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snow and Trains

I need to catch up on pictures.  These were taken shortly after New Year's!

We got lots of snow and I got the sled out while a friend was here and we took the boys sledding.  Not down the hill, but just through the park!

I built two different train tracks--one for Nolan and one for Elliot.

New Year's Eve

We didn't have anything planned this year for New Year's Eve.  I had originally thought of visiting Andre at rehab and doing something with the boys there, but since he was still in the hospital, I had to scratch that idea.  I just took the boys to the park--it was super cold.  I had bought some glow in the dark things and some sparklers.  That was our celebration!  We put Nolan to bed at the normal time and then Elliot and I watched a few fireworks here and there between 6 and 8 pm! Both boys slept through the midnight fireworks.  Yeah!
