Introducing Ava Timothy Kelly

This one looks most like Dad, I think.

Checking In

Ava Timothy Kelly was born on Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 1213pm. She weighed 9 lbs., 6 oz., and is 21 inches. She has had a generally good disposition, even when her brother is poking her. Zambrano, to his credit, has been wonderfully enthusiastic about the new arrival of "Bay-bee"and learned a new word: gentle.

Fun in the Snow

This was Zammy's first time inthe snow where he could actually play in it. he had a good time exploring the climber and sand box, both totally or mostly covered with so.

Lots of fun, that is, until he lost one of his mittens....

The Kellys Go on Vacation and Take Two Pictures

The Kellys went to visit the Gropen-Nystroms in Minneapolis over Memorial Day. Fun was had by all as Zambrano and Greta (Baby G) watched their parents chat, burn chicken (it wasn't that burnt), and look for a breakfast spot.
On the way home, we were ready to pull over in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to feed the boy. Unfortunately, the sky was green, and the tornado sirens were ringing, so we pulled right next to a closed family restaurant, hoped this wasn't how we would die, and warmed our pal's dinner on the car's heater. Eventually, the skies sorta brightened, and we got home.


Totally unfazed...if he were older, he would've been scared too.

Zammy and Greta discuss world affairs with Tania.

Greta is surprised to see herself at Psycho Suzi's, while Zammy keeps watch on the front door. Cousin Maggy (not pictured, like Greg, Shelley and Sverre) also joined us for lunch Sunday.

Thanks to Shelley for sending us the extra pictures!
