Quick announcement: if you would like to write a letter to Vienna, for her to enjoy when she turns 18, now is your chance! We will be creating a time capsule for her, like we did for Hana, and plan to seal it on her first birthday. It can be about you, about her, about your hopes and dreams for her, about Martin and/or me--anything you might like her to know down the road. We are moving soon (details to come when it is official), so please send your letters to either my parents or Martin's. If you need the address, shoot me an email.

Here are some great flicks capturing (just some of) the fun we've been having since little Menna entered our lives!

Here, Haha gets to know her little sis. She loves helping take care of her and genuinely likes to see "Baby Sister" happy. She really enjoys giving Menna the pacifier and also helping to burp her. Hana gets an absolute kick out of Vienna's frequent hiccup bouts and sneezing (haven't captured that bit on film yet, though!).









Celebrating Vienna's "birth" day! Da is the only one singing because I was crying the whole time, lol. She is growing up way too fast already! We also discovered Hana's love of blowing out candles! We had to re-light that sucker nearly 20 times for her blowing pleasure!



Here, the girls enjoy a relaxing swing session at home!



Hana diligently entertains Baby Sister...



Here, Ha and Da enjoy a typical play session--that girl loves to rough-house with her Dada!! Watching this makes me very sad about his upcoming deployment. :O(



Hana Grace is 27 pounds of pure muscle, lol! She just got strong enough to do ziplines--and the ball tree at Yu Kids Island (which is where I took the girls for our first solo outing)!



Typical bathtime. Hana loves to help wash Vienna--and also always has to cover her with "Animals Tub" (Ha's name for her massive collection of miniature sponge animals!



Here are some flix from the Navel Kadena kiddie pool. This FREE pool is geared just for toddlers--with two great slides, a stepping stone circle area, and no water deeper than Ha's chest. We have been hitting it up regularly!





Here is another Ha and Da favorite. Hana refers to this as "Haha jumping". :O)



Fun at the Kadena Marina bungee jump and bounce houses! This is Hana's second time on the bungee. She is still scared to death of slides--but she can't get enough of this nonsense, lol! I can't believe they let two year olds on this thing, lol!









Well, hope you all enjoyed the extensive video update. I will try to post some stories sometime this week. Pix for now will all be on Vienna's Shutterfly thing--it's too much of a hassle uploading them twice and I know folks might want to order some, so we're using that for now. :O)
