Brothers and sisters

Katarina and Gabriel like to hang out in the crib together. Gabriel especially enjoys his new skill of standing!

Introducing Jane Elizabeth Poetzl born on Monday, January 28. We are all excited to welcome Ben and Joey's little sister!

We enjoyed a snow day on Monday, January 28. Daddy was home! Gabriel thought it was overrated and complained until he got to go take a nap. Katarina loved building a snowman and sledding with Ocean.

Lovey, dovey Katarina

The kids love each other right now! Katarina climbs right into the crib with Gabriel, and they hold hands, she "reads" him stories, or they make silly sounds at each other. Hope the love stays strong! The other picture is Katarina and our neighbor Ocean having a tea party. Two too cute princesses! BTW, Katarina asked me last week, "Mom, when will my prince come?"

Katarina's First Swimming Lesson

Katarina and Sammy Poetzl are taking swimming lessons together and having a blast! Katarina enjoyed lessons thoroughly. The pool is small and warm, and she was confident. The teacher was surprised she had not had lessons before. The smile stayed in place throughout the lesson, she ended by swimming around with floaties and jumping in! She was starving afterward--just like her mom.
