Santa!



Last year, Patrick was supposed to dress up as Santa for all the little kids on my side of the family, so my Aunt Maria bought the Santa suit, but Patrick wasn't feeling well that particular day. So we had this Santa suit in our Christmas bins and I couldn't resist getting a picture of the two of them. Next year, Patrick will dress up as Santa to surprise all the kids! Branko was pretty pumped to hang out with Santa, we'll see how next years picture goes!




This year for Christmas, I didn't know what to get Branko, especially since he has everything he needs right now and won't remember it anyway. I decided to buy a light bulb on the Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee. Patrick and I had been talking about buying one a few years ago when we first heard about it. I thought, what a perfect gift to give to Branko so he can look at the bridge and know that one of those light bulbs is dedicated to him! His area of the bridge is circled in the picture below. So far they've done light shows for Christmas and have changed colors for different dedications. Last week they were an orange/yellow color in honor of all those who have passed away from Covid. 

Play time and tummy time!

We also set up a Christmas tree in our bedroom, it made for easy early morning entertainment for Branko when we were too tired to get out of bed.






Our new stockings came in the mail, I absolutely love them!

A little bit of life in Feb/March

  Someone got into the red paint post bath.. Fun trip to the library This wall had them entertained for a while Conrads a bit more of a nurturer than his brother Get in m belly! Farm fresh eggs from Taylor! Branko has been a huge super hero lover these days. He has 6 stretchy small super heros that I actually got for Conrad for valentines day. The material its made out of gets full of lint and hair, so Branko gives them "baths". Playing with the outdoor lights. There was a crazy storm one night and Branko set up Hulk/Ironman in the window to watch the storm with him. I thought I had a picture of it, I guess not! Pics from school :) Our photo frame is always a big hit with the boys Panera (or First Watch) with Grandma Conrad is so proud of himself getting the coins in the piggy bank A normal night in super hero capes and Conrad climbing on the end table/couch My oldest is getting too big to carry :( Enjoying a rare solo bath Culvers, yummmm Enjoying the spring air!

Disney World and baby #3!!

Both boys fell asleep as soon as we landed.... in Orlando. We waited for everyone to get off the plane before waking up these sleeping beauties. We started the trip out rough, I was super sick with no energy the day before we left and Patrick had the same symptoms the day we left. I think we may have had Covid after hearing what other people's symptoms were after we got back. I didn't want to bring their car seats, so we booked a bus to take us from the airport to our hotel. NEVER AGAIN! (at least while the boys are this young). We waited in the airport for the bus for an hour and a half. Recipe for disaster after waking up early, driving to Midway airport, being on a plane, waiting in line for the bus, and then sit on the bus to get to the resort. It was a lot and not a great way to start the trip. We'll get a car rental next time. Yes, we thought about an uber, but they only have options for 1 carseat. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort to be on the monorail and close t...

 On Wednesdays, Branko has daycare, leaving me with the two younger boys. To be honest, having all three of them is easier than juggling the younger two by myself. Conrad is at a tough age right now where he wants all of my attention and gets aggressive/jealous when I need to feed or hold Michael. On this particular day, we needed to get out of the house, so Conrad led us through Target. He ran away twice, which was fun chasing him with the doona stroller. Thankfully, it wasn't busy! I hate the running away phase! We also went to my favorite coffee shop. Meanwhile, Branko learned about trains at school and was excited to go to his mama's house as his destination. Michael has started to be more alert these days. I just LOVE his eyes Superhero brothers! Our neighbors who live behind us babysit for us sometimes and this particular day Carsen was on spring break and lent a hand on a Friday where it was me and all three while Patrick was working. She played with the older boys and h...
