Luca before the breakdown...

Christmas card FAIL
I have been trying for some time now to get a decent photo of the two kids for our Christmas card. This is really difficult to do when any photo session lasting more than 10 seconds results in THIS!
Norah and Daddy
We had a party in her classroom after the sing-a-long, and here are Norah and Daddy posing by the Christmas tree that the kids decorated.
Christmas is coming!
Norah had a Christmas sing-a-long at school today, and I guess I am missing some brain cells because it didn't click for me to dress her in Christmas clothes (as all the other kids are...); oh, well!
She had a great time singing with her friends from school, and we got to join in on some of the carols, too!

Luca's reaction to Santa
I had to post this even though I took a terrible photo....Luca was NOT into being placed in Santa's arms! Maybe next year!
Santa was a great sport about it--what a nice guy!
A little fuzzy, but....
Here we are at a Christmas Party hosted by our realtor, Cindy. It was really nice, and Santa was there for the kids!
Unfortunately, this picture is fuzzy, but at least we are all in it!
Who's that baby?
I don't know if I have ever posted our Hemsley Original Song, "Who's that baby?" It is very versatile, and we use it for both Norah and Luca, but mostly Luca now because he is still a "baby."
Here it is:
Who's that baby over there?
Luca Bear, Luca Bear!
Who's that baby with brown hair?
Luca Bear, Luca Bear!
Who's that baby sitting there?
Luca Bear, Luca Bear!
Who's that baby on the stairs?
Luca Bear, Luca Bear!
Go, Luca Bear!
Helpful girl
Norah liked to take Luke shoes off when they get home, and he seems to cooperate more for her than for me; go for it, Norah!
Group shot!
At least Norah was looking at me for my picture--who knows how everyone else's turned out!
Ballerina 1
Norah had her final ballet class of the year and all the parents were invited to watch what they have been learning. Here's Norah ready and waiting on her "X" to show us what she has learned!
Thanksgiving Extravaganzaaaaaaa!
We had a massive Thanksgiving feast organized by our brother-in-law Jim's parents and Alessia and Sunny, and it was great! There were at least 70 in attendance, including my long lost brother Mark, who now lives in NY and thinks that that gives him the right to talk real funny. Here are Mark and Norah enjoying some appetizers before the actual feast!
Apple pie and Oma
Oma and Grandpa came for a visit after Adam and Cassie left, and Norah and Oma made a delicious apple pie! Here they are putting the crumb topping on...yum!
Adam and Cassie
Here are Adam and Cassie enjoying the ride on the boat. We are so glad we were able to spend some time with both of them!
At first, Norah and Luke were pretty terrified by Adam (Norah curled up into the fetal position when she first saw him and said she was 'tired'), but within about half an hour, they were all best friends!
Beautiful Baby
In mid-November, James brother Adam and his wife, Cassie came to visit Chicago. We all took a Chicago architecture boat tour. Here's Luca enjoying the scenery on the Chicago River.
