It's a boy AND a girl!

For those of you who care to know, we are having a boy and a girl! Yes, this means they are definitely not identical twins! We are sooooo thrilled. And believe it or not, we think we even have our names picked out! But, I will not post them here. :-)

more Christmas 2009 at the beach

Eleanor and her cousin Kylee had such a blast together! We're so sad she lives all the way in Atlanta!

Lucas, Brandon and Jonothon are all very close in age and had a blast sand sledding down this hill on a boogie board

Sam and Alex....Aren't cousins the greatest? We love family get togethers and the kids can't wait for our next family reunion!


Coronado here we come!

After opening gifts we had a big Christmas breakfast, cleaned up the house and took off for our Rahm Reunion down in San Diego. We met at Mike and Sarah's house and 2 days later all the Rahm kids and grandkids were there. We rented a beach house too, so there was plenty of room for everyone. We had such a blast. The cousins all had the best time together as did us adults. Here are a few pictures from the trip!

Is it just me or does Eleanor look bored?

Dad and the kids having a blast! Legoland is a must if you have little kids...it's great!

And of course, the beach. Even though it was cold, it didn't take long for Eleanor to go from rolling up her jeans to switching into her swim suit

Of course the cold is not enough to keep Lucas from the water!

Christmas 2009

Christmas was great this year. The kids got most of what they wanted, and for the first time, we didn't have to wake them up! Eleanor was first to wake and she hurried through the house to wake everyone else.

Christmas Eve, we read the Christmas story in Luke and Eleanor and Dave played Mary and Joseph.

Lucas...barely awake, but so excited!

Lucas....tired after opening all of his gifts fell asleep on his favorite one
