We’re back with more of our happenings! October started with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Fairall (aka Grandma and Papa D). From the beach, to the zoo, to wine tasting in Temecula – there was never a dull moment. Sophia had a great time at the zoo. It was the first time she had…
Family Time
It’s hard to believe William has been in our lives for a whole month already. Time is passing too quickly! In between the diapers, feedings and screaming the four of us have managed to get out for some fun. All summer Sea World was on my to-do list. Really, it’s been on my to-do list…
William Bennett
He’s here! Our little man made his debut on Friday, September 7th at 4:34pm weighing in at 6lbs 7oz and 19.5 inches long. Aside from being a string bean, Mom and Dad were surprised to see William has a full head of brown hair (not blonde like Sophia). We were fortunate enough to have Grandma…
These Days…
It’s hard to believe Sophia is almost 16 months old and even more difficult to believe that another little one will arrive on the scene in a few short weeks. Fortunately, my ever growing belly helps keep everything in perspective. At nearly 16 months, Sophia is such a delight and has really grown to be…
As American as BBQ and Beer
July is in full swing and the Wiktors are knee deep in adventure again. The 4th of July allowed for a little extra time off of work which is always welcome! “Mumsie” came to town for a little over a week and we spent most of the time she was here working on projects and…
Back to Pensacola
The Wiktors have been making the rounds the last few weeks! Right after we returned from Maui, the next day in fact, Phil left for Pensacola where he spent the next month for work. Most of his 9-5 was spent at class, but evenings and weekends were fair game. The first few weekends Phil got…
Embracing Some Aloha
Our busy spring was rounded out by a wonderful family vacation to Maui. It all started with the thought of taking a trip with Phil before all our chaos begins this fall. The idea was then made even better when the entire Wiktor/Case clan was able to come as well. Thanks to Bill and Elaine’s…
Wrapping Up Spring
Maybe it’s the May grey, June gloom SoCal weather but I can’t believe summer is right around the corner. Where is 2012 going? Spring found us busy with some small but important projects around the house and was rounded out by my parents’ visit for Sophia’s birthday. The first project was a minor kitchen renovation…
Sophia’s First!
Here we are, half way through May and we’re finally getting around to writing about Sophia’s first birthday. The day certainly didn’t come and go without celebration! My parents visited to help Sophia celebrate her big day and it was great having them here (more on their visit later). We had a pretty low key…
Spring Has Sprung!
We might not have had the spring heat wave the rest of the country experienced, but spring is here and the Wiktors are enjoying every minute. As Phil mentioned in the last post, he has been busy on his second batch of home brew. The other weekend Phil spent a Saturday night crunching numbers so…
