Our Family of Four and Lots, Lots More

Oh my I don't even know where to begin. Lets start with our new addition!!

Ali Mae Taraskiewicz  

Born July 27, 2010

She outdid her "big" sister by a whole pound, weighing in at 7 lbs. 2 oz. She had a hard time adjusting to life outside the womb, and spent a couple days in the NICU.  She was a brave little pumpkin, being poked and prodded with needles galore.  

Now she is as healthy as can be and more precious than ever! Her hobbies these days consist of sleeping, sleeping, the occasional smile, and more sleeping! 

How I spent my first few weeks. Gotta love my husband... just couldn't resist the camera!

-- Life in Arizona --

So I must say, life in Arizona is pretty good.  Our home feels more like a resort than a home, well at least for me, Mya and Ali. Jake on the other hand started school at Midwestern and life for him is pretty much  school, and the occasional swim in the pool. 

As for Ali, Mya and myself, we spend our days at the pool or baking something delicious at home!
Mya has become quite the little helper in the kitchen.

The clean up - hosed down in the bathtub. Mya loves water, whether it is swimming at the pool or taking a bath, she has the time of her life.

Spotlight - Uncle Matthew

"Mashew"

Mya carries this photo of Uncle Matthew and Aunt Kari around the house. If she can't find it, she searches the house saying "where's Mashew?"
