home visit.












 



As you can see, our trip home was filled with love and family.  And snow!  Lua and I had a relaxing time in Aurora, hanging out with Nanna and Popop.  We ate nanna-cooked food and got to sleep in a huuuuuge bed (lua still insisted on snuggling right in, though).   I always laugh so much when I'm home too.  There's something about my brother, Evan, that can always make me laugh so hard, I cry!

The second half of our trip was not originally planned, but happened because Andrew's grampa, Burl, passed away while Lu and I were in Nebraska.  There was a silver-lining, though, as it was the first time (that I can remember) that the whole Cao clan was gathered together under one roof :)  One night, we spent a good hour laughing on the kitchen floor while the girls (Eloise and Lua, that is) entertained us.  They are starting to get to the age where they actually care what the other one is doing, so they are much more interactive (see: the tight squeeze above)!  I can't help but imagine their future tea parties, jam sessions and the plays they'll put on!  Here's to hoping we can "schedule" all of the cousints to be born together!

cousins. part two.

 eloise is here! eloise is here!  

i seriously could watch these two hang out for hours.  this was the first time lua had ever seen another baby and it was so cool to see her interact with eloise.  it is also so nice to spend time with other parents.  not many friends of ours right now are up at 7am and go to bed by 9, so it was nice to share tips, tricks and just swap baby stories :)  i hope these two have the chance to do a little growing up together someday...at least closer than 1500 miles apart.

 i was able to snap some pictures today and just had to share.  i love them.  enjoy!












are they beautiful ladies or what?!

cousints.

miss eloise:)

We are really starting to miss Miss Eloise.  It's really hard to live in the city, period, to just live here - add to that a baby and the fact that you're 1500 miles away from her nearest/only cousin... you've got one lonely family sometimes.  Don't get me wrong, there are a few NYC moms who I love to chat with and get advice from, but there's just something special about seeing "Lo" and "Lu" together.  They're so similar in so many ways and I just wish we could give them the opportunity and the joy of growing up side by side.


Lua and Eloise :) almost 2 and almost 3 months.
