our days & our ways

So, last night we FINALLY got our plane tickets!!! The departure date is Feb. 3. We have been a busy family. Here are some highlights!

Who's cutest?
Lily & Baby Gretta!

Lily loves her tutu!

Favre, what's the verdict?

An enjoyable pastime

Caedmon's 11 month picture

I dumped ALL the toys out in the living room to divide for packing; Caedmon didn't quite know where to start :)

"Jesus loves the little children!"

"All the children of the world!"

The Golackson 4 had quite a lively household the past few weeks! We had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving with Lindsey's folks, her brother Phil, her sister Nat and husband Tim. The weather was just incredible! The boys enjoyed a football game at Goose Island while the ladies (& Cade) tanned on the sidelines ;). We are treasuring every single moment with our family and friends as the day of departure approaches.

Last Saturday little Lily turned TWO! The "terrible two's" are finally official. ha ha. I actually think they're the "terribly humorous two's" since it seems we are laughing all the time at something silly... like calling Josh "Josh." Why not? Momma calls him that. Or saying "Shhh. Stop talking please." Oops. Maybe I've used that one one too many times ;) One of my favorites is after nap time, "Momma, come on please. Lily's awake!"

We had a great time at Lily & Caedmon's joint birthday party (he will be 1 in February, but we'll be out of the country). Lily just loved all the decorations and couldn't wait for Caedmon to wake up from his nap to show him. Seeing lots of family and friends was so exciting for the kiddos (us too). Have fun checking out a few cute (and random) shots!

Lil just loves Gampy... and she is adored back

Fun times at the Children's Museum with Nai nai & Ye ye... where's the fire?!

Hey, that looks like me!

So many things to do... learning: to play piano,

and ABC's from Nai nai
all in 1 day.

Lily was so funny to watch as she CRUISED through the "grocery store"

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

According to tradition, Lily only had 1 boyfriend. With Lily's help, Caedmon had 0 girlfriends.

of course, Lily's cake was the chocolate one

Caedmon's third piece...

"You can do it!"

What a helper! (and in heels!)

Such a fun day!

We have had quite an eventful September! We spent almost two weeks in Monroe and visited with lots of friends and family. We also had fun celebrating Josh's Birthday and enjoying the always loved "Cheese Days." We have about 2 weeks in La Crosse then plan to head out to Colorado and then Appleton. Good thing for well behaved kids... well, for the most part ;).
