Random goings-on...


Here is the latest extra-cute picture of Liam with his little tongue sticking out! Nicole was honored to be Liam's first official babysitter last week, and this is a pic from the event. It doesn't get any more adorable than that!!



Comfy on Auntie Nikki.


Turning his head towards Mommy's voice, wearing his new Mickey outfit.


Last Saturday, I (Nicole) got to hang out with Jenny, my cousin Amy and her friend Lauren. We headed out bowling and out to eat...above is Jenny showing off her mad bowling skills.

Then it was back to Nicole and Greg's house for some ping-pong. There was some major competition between Amy and Greg here...


Here's Amy trying out some diversionary tactics with random things from our basement...LOVE the basketball hat.


And, cute cats cuddling pic.

Hope you're all having a good week!

Meet our new nephew!!


Meet LIAM PATRICK! We are now the proud aunt and uncle of this handsome little guy. He was born on February 4th and weighed in at 7 pounds 2 ounces. He was born via c-section since he was breech, but all went well and he and mom are doing great, healthy as can be. Welcome, Liam!! Isn't he adorable?



Proud Daddy, Nicole's brother Sean.


Proud Mommy Brenda.


We just cannot get enough of Liam.


Awwww...is that cute or what?


Excited Grandma Joanie!


Liam and (great) auntie Kay- let the spoiling begin!


Liam and auntie Nikki. We are so excited that Liam is finally here- it is just indescribable!! I'm sure we will be posting about a million more pics of him, so stay tuned!


And, for more pics:

We went out for Nicole's 30th b-day with some friends last weekend. So much fun! Here are Nicole, Catherine, Beth, Jesse, Scott, Jennifer, Chris, and Jenny (minus Greg and Kendall from the pic).

Thanks for coming, you guys! I think I'm finally used to 30 now, but it was definitely an adjustment...man-oh-man, where does the time go??

GRAND CAYMAN ISLAND!


Greg and I (Nicole) went to Grand Cayman Island for our 2nd anniversary and my birthday (the big 3-0)! What an amazing time. Grand Cayman had the most beautiful beaches we had ever seen. Above is the both of us before going out for my birthday dinner. Yes, that is me- I cut off a LOT of my hair and donated it to Locks For Love!

Warning: TONS of pics ahead.


Where we stayed- the Sunshine Suites Resort.



Nicole enjoying a Pina Colada poolside.



Our 2nd anniversary! Wow- has it really been 2 years already?? We celebrated at a restaurant called "7" at the Ritz Carlton.


Our first day at the beach- Greg tackling the waves! The sand was SO white and the water SO clear- beautiful.



Greg relaxing on the beach.



Nicole floating in the super-warm water.



A small rainshower passing by.



A view down the beach- there were 4 cruise ships in that day! The weird looking boat in the foreground is a little submarine.




A pic poolside- gorgeous or what??



Nicole enjoying a cocktail at an Italian restaurant called "Eduardo's."



Iguana!! They had these all over the island. They were huge.




This is Stingray City. We took a boat about an hour into the Carribbean Sea to this sandbar, where you swim with and feed wild stingrays! Yes, barbs still attatched. Definitely one of the scariest things we've ever done! They basically swarm you when you get in the water and are constantly brushing up against your legs- crazy!



Nicole holding a sting ray! It kind of felt like holding a giant mushroom.



We also snorkeled that day- absolutely beautiful.


Greg and Nicole on the boat on the way out to see the stingrays!



In downtown George Town. Greg with Big Black Dick- ha!


Sunset at the harbor.



Just another day in paradise...


Greg and his new hat!



Greg went golfing one morning at the North Sound Club- what a beautiful course. He played with another guy from Jamaica.


I (Nicole) don't golf, but was plenty happy driving the golf cart around!


And, we went to HELL! For real- this city is named Hell after the weird rock formations behind us.



Now featuring: Greg, as the devil!



Nicole smooching the devil...



Nicole relaxing at our hotel.


Our last day at the beach. :(


Nicole's birthday dinner! We went to a restaurant called "Bed" which was AWESOME. Our table was up on a platform and it looked like we were in a 4-poster bed. The waiters were all dressed in their pajamas!



What a wonderful birthday...and anniversary...and trip!! It was very hard to come back to -15 degree weather (no exaggeration). We will definitely go back to Grand Cayman someday!
