The Craun Family: October 2010
http://craunfamily.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. Halloween Party at School. Today was the Halloween parade at Lucas and Maria's school. Fortunately, Grandmom (Ryan's Mom) was able to go and see the festivities. She even went the extra step and took some great pictures. Lucas the Red Crayon with his buddy Donovan the Spider. Lucas and his best bud, Nicholas. This is a costume that Ryan wore when he was little. I'll have to see if we can find those pictures to compare. Love that Lucas can wear it too! Miss Maria the Bumblebee.

Monday, May 31, 2010. We were excited to have our first pool day of the season today! Ryan's mom and dad worked hard this week to get the pool ready. Fortunately, we had great weather. It was actually really HOT! We spent the morning getting pictures taken at the Picture People. Also known as Ryan's personal hell! And waited forever to get our pictures. When we left, I was a happy lady with my newly framed pictures of my two beautiful children. (will post pics of that later). Our boy is a little fish,.

The Craun Family: September 2010
http://craunfamily.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 14, 2010. FIrst Day of School. Today was Maria's first day of baby school. Ryan's parents were spending the entire week vacationing in Ocean City. And I start back to work full time next week (deep breath! We needed to send Maria to school. She is going to be in the infant room at the same place that Lucas goes to school. Everyone there already knows her because she has been coming with me to pick up Lucas. The biggest shock to our system is the sticker shock of having 2 kids in daycare.

Thursday, June 24, 2010. Maria has recently become much more aware of her surroundings. She's started reaching for objects. She is beginning to understand simple cause and effect. She loves playmat with the toys, music and lights. She has awareness of her hands now. She moves them and watches them in front of her face. She has even figured out how to get her clothes into her mouth. Ahhhhlook at the lion! Our happy little girl is getting big so quickly! Swim Playdate with Kyndall. Tuesday, June 22, 2010.

The Craun Family: December 2011
http://craunfamily.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 24, 2011. This year, Christmas Eve was exceptionally enjoyable, because it fell on a Saturday. No worrying about having to get home from work or for that matter, taking off of work. We had the whole day to get what we needed to do done. Openning their pre-church Christmas Eve presents: Mini Magna Doodles. We met my family at my Mom's house afterwards, to have our traditional lasagna Christmas Eve dinner. And of course, pose for post-church pictures in front of the tree. In order to pre...

The Craun Family: July 2010
http://craunfamily.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 15, 2010. Maria's most recent developmental milestone is rolling over. This has happened in the past week. At first, she could go from her stomach to her back-which seemed like more of a gravitational thing than an intentional one. Now she's figured out how to get from her back to her stomach. Laying on my playmat looking at my favorite toucan. Now I'm on my belly- a whole new prospective! First she was deterred by sucking on her fingers. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Stay- I be back.". Lucas, ...

Saturday, January 29, 2011. It's been a while (a long while, like before we had kids.we're talking Winter 2006-2007) since we've been skiing. Billy and Mom offered to watch the kids while we went skiing for the day. Ryan had no idea we were going. I let him sleep for a little while, but then sent Lucas in with a note that said,. Ski with me today! Ryan was still a little sleepy when he read it, but definitely excited once he figured out what it meant. Getting my ski gear on. View from the lodge. Lucas he...

The Craun Family: Winter Snow Fun
http://craunfamily.blogspot.com/2012/01/winter-snow-fun.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. We had a little bit of snow and ice in the past two days. We got up this morning thinking we'd play outside in the snow in our yard. Luckily, the Tarry family asked as we were getting ready, if we wanted to come play in the snow at their house. We were excited to accept the invitation. Kyndall, Sherrie, Patricia and Lucas. Lucas and Mommy ready to go down the hill. Maria rode down the hill once, then decided that sledding wasn't for her. Christian boy is swinging. Life as a Leach.
