Katie's Second Book

With translations, for those of you who need it.


"The Birthday"

Once upon a time, there was a boy and he was going to have a birthday.

Now, they are getting ready.

The day was his birthday and he was very excited.

Now he is waiting for his friends to come until he sees one of his friends.

And the last person was Maddie and that was his best friend and the mom said when she gets here, we can start the party.

Now maddie came and the mom said start the party.
Now he is going to give her a knock-over hug.
They are giving group over hugs.
And when the mom says it is time to eat cake.
And now they are having cake.

And it was sad for them to be leaving, but his grandma and grandpa were coming so that is going to be fun.

Now the grandpa is here and the grandma is here.

And now they are going to a fancy(?) restaurant.

He is eating lentils and fish.
She is eating his and chicken.
He is eating hot chile.

Now he is throwing a coin into the river.

Now they are driving home.

Now they are going to sleep.


Now they are going back to Colorado.

Here comes trouble! Wonderful trouble!

Vittoria ha really been practicing her crawling and walking around furniture. Cannot trust her anymore particularly since Katie and Mary have so many little little items around that she could really get in trouble. Everything goes in her mouth. She is just a delight and so much fun. What a perfect time. She is fantastic!













Monday night is Gymnastic night for both Katie and Mary. They love it!

More pictures/videos of Ryan

Here are some cute pictures and videos of Ryan I thought you all would enjoy.

First is Ryan having a good time reading Mommy's Organic Chemistry textbook.

Here are two cute videos of Ryan getting dizzy while spinning and throwing snowballs over Christmas in Detroit.


Our New House

Here are some pictures of the new house. We moved in Nov 14.

This is the back of the house. We have a pretty big backyard with a nice wooded area.

Here is the front entrance. To the left is a bathroom and the laundry room that leads to the garage. On the right is the living room. On the other side of the stairs is the kitchen.

This is the living room looking into the dining room.

Here is the kitchen. There is a nice play area for Ryan behind the counter.


This is looking from the kitchen and into the family room (which is directly behind the garage)
