Baby Girl Amorino

OK - so the first picture is of her leg (it is upside down). The second picture is of her face and her two little hands up by her face.

We think we have a name - Jayden Luella Amorino. We'll wait until she arrives to embroider anything :)

So we are still here. The Amorino 4. We have had a great summer! I am grateful my kids aren't in school yet because it doesn't have to end for us. We love you all and look forward to seeing many of you soon!!!

Swimming Lessons

Jackson at swim lessons. He had a blast. We did them for 4 weeks straight!

The Beach (kind of)

2008-08-19T10:45:00.003-04:00

We have done a lot of fun things. We've gone to the zoo. We've gone to the Oxon Hill Farm. We've played at the pool and with friends. I often forget my camera or have it and just don't take pictures. So here is our Colonial Beach trip pictures. One day I'll get good at taking pictures. (Note: this is Colonial Beach on the Potomac - not a real beach)

IOWA Visit

2008-08-19T10:13:00.002-04:00

We actually made it to Iowa this year. We all had a blast! Jackson and Lindsay are still talking about their cousins, aunts, uncles great-grandma and grandparents. This pictures is missing two Shawn and Lars, otherwise we were all together!

Still Alive

We are still alive! Here are some fun summer photos!

Gifts

2008-04-15T00:16:00.002-04:00

When Jackson opened his birthday card from Great Grandma Mathusek he pulled out the money and said "this is my cash."

He LOVED his baseball cards (my home is now covered with them)! He was so excited to have them - thanks Fagersten Uncles and Grandparents.

Jackson loves presents and he enjoyed looking for his hidden presents. He wants to wear his cars swim trunks now.

Lindsay talking with Bishop Volk

2008-04-14T23:48:00.003-04:00

Lindsay and Bishop are talking about Jackson's superman coloring book. There are other conversations going on (sorry). Lindsay and Jackson love Bishop Volk and Sister Volk, and Megan and Jacob (Lindsay has even called Jake before). Bishop Volk reminds me of how my dad is with the kids - he just plays with them. The Lord fills the 'gap' of distance with other wonderful people - thank you Volk Family!

2008-04-13T15:11:00.001-04:00

We celebrated Jackson's birthday with our friends the Volks and the Websters. Jackson asked for both families to be there. We all had a great time!! Thank you Volk family for supplying the home!

Funny things they say and do...

2008-03-26T14:42:00.000-04:00

The other day we were eating dinner together and Lindsay kept saying something and we didn’t understand what she was saying. I asked her, ‘did you say, I have boogers’ and Jackson without missing a beat said, ‘she said, bob the builder.’

Lindsay loves to sing. Her latest song has been “Oh Tom the Toad.” You can’t help but smile every time you hear it out of her little voice.

We had just finished breakfast and Jackson was asking for a snack so I told him our ‘plan’ for the day, “ here’s the plan, we are going to get dressed, play and then we’ll have a snack.” He looked and me and said, “Oh, mom, that just breaks my heart.” He then proceeded to go off and get dressed, play and then have his snack.

Lindsay goes to the bathroom most of the time in the potty. If she doesn’t I find diapers all over the house that she has taken off after going one time.

The cutest kids in Maryland

2008-03-26T11:31:00.002-04:00

These are pictures from the fall but I thought they were really cute.

Jackson looks the same, Lindsay has more hair now.

Dad can do indoor sledding too!

2008-03-25T22:03:00.003-04:00

Jackson - thanks aunt sandy

2008-03-25T09:32:00.002-04:00

Aunt Sandy (Shawn's aunt) gave the kids sleds for their birthdays. We were all very excited but we weren't blessed with snow so Shawn created 'indoor' sledding.

2008-03-24T12:24:00.000-04:00

Shawn's family came down and we celebrated the kids birthdays. They had a blast. Thanks Cindy, Gene and Megan for coming down - we had a lot of fun.

2008-03-24T11:24:00.003-04:00

Lindsay had her 2nd birthday on February 2nd. We had quite the party for her, there were almost 60 people there. Hey - you are only two once! The best part was, the adults had a blast, the kids all 'played' well together and Lindsay had no idea what was going on. Here she is enjoying her birthday cake!

2008-03-24T11:19:00.003-04:00

Our friend Rachel Perrine made Lindsay's cake and cupcake. Thanks Rachel! We loved it!
