We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Our trip to Virginia was a blast! Seeing all of our fmaily and just being together was such a blessing. The cousins are all getting bigger and doing new things, the grandparents loving on the kids like there was no tomorrow, it was wonderful. Cold, but wonderful. We are glad to be home, although I think that we will be unpacking for quite some time, we need a bigger house just to fit all of the new stuff.

Brace yourself...there are a lot of pictures here...

Watching Charlie Brown's Christmas with Grandad.

Mimi helped Molly and Brady and Nathan make ornaments for the tree.

Brady wanted to eat them, Molly had to remind him of the glue holding it all together.

Brady helping Marty play Uno Attack, didn't help much. :)

Grandad helped Molly paint her ornaments after they had dried. They had a blast.

Brady with Aunt Chi Chi!

Brady looking up to Uncle John on Christmas morning.

Brady had a thing about presents, he wanted to stop and play with every present he got, especially at Grandma and Pop Pop's house. Marty had to read every book the Mimi gave him before he could move on to the next present. Molly was not troubled by this need, she went through things like a wild woman.

Marty with a great present, his very own wii. He had to much fun playing tennis on it at his parents house that he took out a Christmas tree ornament and shattered a candy cane

while swinging. It's been fun.

John got a great present too... a Florida Gators snow globe with a picture of me
on one side and one of Tim Tebow on the other. PLUS it plays the UF fight song. What else is there to want?

Molly gave me this beautiful pink scarf, she had to have a pink one, very sweet.

Mimi gave Molly her very first Barbie car. Can you tell that she's excited?


Every year we get something funny tucked into our stockings, this year it was a wax mustache.

Here are the results:

My brother John breaking up a lovely moment between Marty and myself. :)

Who are those weirdos on the end ruining this sweet picture? I almost knocked Marty over.

For some reason Brady was eyeballing his new Diego toy, I have no idea why, he loves the toy.

Who could have thought that checkers could have the power to send you to

couples therapy?

Molly finally got her Zippity!

Molly and her Grandad

Mimi was loving on Brady and Molly became jealous so she jumped into the chair too.

Molly and Brady loved on poor Cousin Ethan a little too much.

Molly is watching Brady like a hawk.

Our sweet, and now 2 (!) year old, niece Natalie!

Molly LOVED playing pin the nose on Elmo at Natalie's birthday party.

Grandma made Molly's week by playing it with her over and over, it was fun for both of them.

Brady loving him some of Natalie's birthday cake

Marty and the Slovinsky Cousins watching Tinker Bell on the iphone.

Molly and Grandad dancing it up the night before we left.

Here are some new pictures from our latest adventures, from fly overs to cupcakes

Marty and a few other pilots from Columbus went to Blacksburg to do the fly over before the Tech NC State game. Afterwards they were on the sidelines for a bit and then taken onto the field to be introduced during half time. They even made teh jumbotron! Go Hokies!

Molly was showing us her Hokie Spirit a few days ago while collecting leaves.

We stayed in Columbus for Thanksgiving and even though we ate roast not turkey we had a fun day. We put the tree up and then on Friday Marty got all of the outside decorations up. Our house twinkles.

This was Molly's attempt to cut brady's hair one night. We will sitck with Ms Marybeth.

We have been on a cup cake kick at our house. Molly and Brady like to decorate them and then try to eat them. Molly eats the frosting off but won't the cake and Brady just attacks until he can't fit anymore in his mouth.

Our Molly

Brady decorated for Thanksgiving, thanks to Miss Paige.

This weekend Marty took us on a trip to Memphis. We went to the fabulous zoo and a mall that made us all want to cry. I even saw a Target (I was begining to forget that they are real). We went up to see Playhouse Disney Live and the kids had a ball.

The zoo was loads of fun. With the leaves changing everything was so pretty. We saw pandas and polar bears and the kids found a playground that may have been the highlight for them.

Those goofy Slovinsky kids.

Brady wanted to see the elephants. When we got to them there was a breeze blowing that made the stop unpleasant, as you can tell by Molly and her nose.

The polar bear tank was fabulous. We stood there for the longest time while the bears swam right over and at us. They pushed off the wall in front of us and flipped around. The kids loved it, though Brady wouldn't let go of Marty's leg.

Are you talking to ME?

GO GATORS!

On Sunday we went to see Playhouse Disney live. We saw everyone from Pooh to Handy Manny.

The kids loved it and behaved very well and we only had one bathroom emergency was we counted it as a success.

Brady LOVED this hat. He wore it all day, even in the car on the way home.

This was Brady's reaction to the begining of the show, he was scared. Thankfully he was able to regroup and enjoy, especially the Handy Manny part.

Molly sang all of the songs and danced with all of the characters. She was singing the oath of the Super Sleuths of the 100 Acre Wood.

Happy Halloween!

A Dad and his Spider...

A Dad and his Chicken...

Happy Halloween 2009!

Molly had to do a lot of waiting for Brady to catch up.
