Happy New Year !

We wish everyone a happy new year!

Mountain Boarding 101

Since the snowboarding trip was postponed till the 5th, we took our new mountain board out for a spin at the neighborhood park.

Baby's First Christmas!

The family took their first road trip and it was a doozy... 10 hours to San Diego ( would have clocked 7 before dog and baby! ) for the holidays. Ronin and Akasha made friends riding in the back of the Subaru together and Akasha since then has taken on the role of "protector" when the alpha parents are away from the den. ;)

The Knickerbocker Family

The Lam Family

Ronin enjoyed spending time with his grandparents, Grammy Kiki, Ty, Grandpa Kevin and even got to Skype his Omi Shelagh for the first time! He also met Uncle Kolby and Auntie Elizabeth. Kyle and I enjoyed have a little time off from parenthood, even if it was only to catch up on sleep!

Happy Holidays!

Bath Time !

Ronin had his first bath today and he loved it! He will be a water baby just like his parents. Here's a photo of him right after, trying to stay warm in the froggy towel.

peekn' at ya

Ronin is a wiggle worm, he loves spinning circles in the crib! Today we found him all the way on the other side of his crib, scooted up next to his giraffe. =) So cute!

Its Official : He's Ronin Arion !

Car Ride Success!

Yay! We can finally leave the house as a family! After a few attempts at proper car seat baby positioning and a few tears baby got comfy in the Bug. As soon as we drove off the driveway, he was fast asleep! Highways = naptime. The trip to San Diego next week is looking easier than expected. Wish us luck!

The new arrival

Day 3

Here's our new little boy! We have never felt so much love before. He is the shining star that has come into our universe and reminds us that life is amazing every second.

Last Day of November Sunset

We're still waiting on the little one's arrival! He must really like it in there because we have no signs he's coming our way any time soon. =) Kyle and I went hiking yesterday, with our friend John, to watch the sunset near our house. We discovered a flock of wild peacocks who sought shelter in the huge eucalyptus trees after they got a peek of Akasha.
