January 2013 - 18 months old and ready to take on the world!

I realize it has been way too long since I wrote a post.  So much has happened since August.  I will let the pictures do most of the talking, but here are some of the highlights:

My sister, Heather, got married to her sweetheart, Tim, in Chicago!

Heddi and Tim!

A beautiful lakeside ceremony

Pompom singing to the bride and groom

Heather and Tim listening to sage advice from Dadoo

Ami meets some Chicago family on Nick's side.
Burton, Lana, Biff and Idell

Making friends at "The Bean"

It's all a dream

Amira learned how to walk in November.  Check out the video of some very wobbly steps:




And the biggest news (in case you didn't already hear)...

Amira is going to be a big sister!
New baby girl is due to arrive in late May :-)
