I SAW SANTA TODAY!!!!

Today my mama and daddy took me to see Santa! I also got to sit in his sleigh! I KNOW he is real. Just look at him! We took our family picture with him and had an ornament made with the picture on it. Only 18 more days until Christmas!

Gabriele's New Haircut!

Here is a picture of Gabriele and her new, short and sassy haircut! She loves it! It certainly makes hair washing and drying MUCH easier! I think she looks like a German Hummel girl!

My daddy, I think, wants me to learn to ride a bike as soon as possible, so I can join him in his favorite past-time! He bought me this bike for my birthday! Thanks, Daddy! I love you! I'm getting the hang of it, and best of all, I'M HAVING FUN!!!

GABRIELE'S 4TH BIRTHDAY PARTY!

What a great party! Gabriele had tons of fun with all her friends at a local kid's gym called Art Sports. Jumping on trampolines, swinging from ropes, jumping in foam pits and climbing a climbing wall were all part of the activities. She loved her Hello Kitty cake, too! Enjoy the pictures!

This week we've been getting excited for Gabriele's 4th birthday. I made chocolate chip muffins for her to bring to preschool for her birthday treats, and made my first ever birthday cake for her. . .A Hello Kitty Cake! I decided to make it today, just in case it didn't turn out and I'd have to buy a cake for her party. We'll keep it in our freezer until the party this Saturday!

Frank is training hard to race at Nationals in Kansas City on Dec. 12th. Here is a picture of him racing in Boulder. He will race this weekend at Bear Creek Park here in Colorado Springs.

Happy Halloween!

One of Gabriele's costumes this year is a black cat! She'll be an elephant for trick-or-treating, but with temperatures in the upper 60's, it was too hot to wear that costume to day time parties.

Welcome to our blog!

This time of year is Frank's favorite- cyclocross season! Gabriele and Ingrid enjoy watching Frank race when the weather isn't too cold.

Gabriele is excited about her 4th birthday coming up on Novemeber 22, 2004!

Ingrid is enjoying job-sharing her 5th grade postion. When she's not working, she is having fun spending lots of time with Gabriele and enjoys swimming, biking, running and hiking.
