Thought it would be nice to show three generations in a line up here: Aeva, Jessica and Sandy.

According to polls, looks like this mini Korzyniowski gets her looks from her papa.

We were lucky to have Sandy with us for a whole week last week since Curt was away on business. Not only does Sandy make killer applesauce, but she is an awesome grandma to boot! Aeva has become ture buddies with Abuela, and we're anxious for her to visit again soon.

Look Who's Talking

Aeva is 13 weeks old this week! Every day she does something different and changes in some small way. For example, today she began working on her back-to-tummy roll. Heck, that's not an easy one! So far she can only make it onto her side, but I have perfect confidence that she will soon master this challanging maneuver. Also, as you can somewhat catch from the video, she is also working on developing her laugh--another item which takes great forethought and practice. At any rate, she has definitely given signs that she plans on being quite verbal, which no doubt has come directly from her mother. Aeva is a constant wonder and blessing to us. What an increadible thing to watch her personality unfold.

Happy Birthday Susie

Happy Birthday Mom! Sorry you couldn't come over to enjoy the icecream cake, but Jessica and I are enjoying it for you! So here's to you Mom,

The Christmas Spirit

Jessica and I have finally been getting into the Christmas spirit around here. Last weekend we bought a tree and last night we decorated the outside of the house. Talk about cold! Here we were in 40 degree weather wrapping lights around our prickly holly buses, going through our light strings in the dark, trying to figure out why half of them wouldn't light. Finally found most of the shorted out and broken bulbs and things are looking nice. La Got to keep up with the Jones next door, you know. Besides, it really does warm up the outside of the house.

Since we we've been married (5 1/2 years now) Jessica and I go round and round each year about buying a plastic tree. I can't bring myself to do it. Going out as a couple or family and freezing your tail off at the tree lot until you find just the right tree is a tradition that I hope Aeva will grow the love just as much as her Daddy does. Besides, having a live tree our living room has made our whole downstairs smell like an evergreen. Who wouldn't love that!

Paintball Nation

Cool, damp days, the absence of ticks mosquitos and snakes, fall foliage...Tis the season for paintball again. Sadly, after leaving Memphis I lost virtually all of my clan followers and have come somewhat upon hard times here in Nashville. Andrew is having to raise a whole new generation of Adventist paintball warriors and the going is slow. Now the first time however, a couple of brothers of talking about investing in their own paintball markers. Its a small start, but it only takes a spark right?

Applesauce Galore!

Here's a new one for you... homemade applesauce. I'd never had any until a couple of weeks ago until our pastor's wife let us try some of hers and then loaned us the machine. Its pretty easy. You just cut up a few apples, boil them until soft, run them through the machine, and voilá!!! Peels come out one end, hot steamy applesauce the other. Hot apple mush isn't that great. But let things cool and add a small amount of splenda or sugar and you've got yourself some kind of natural goodness!

Sandy was good enough to bring us 5 bushels of golden delicious and fuji "seconds" which she helped run the apple grinder. Talk about a production. It was borderline slave labor.

Even little Aeva (now ~12-13 lbs) enjoyed helping Mom with the process.

Thanks giving day

This year for Thanksgiving, the three Korzyniowski's celebrated Thanksgiving day with Alex and Bernice at their mother's house. Aeva, of course, was little interested in the turkey or stuffing and doesn't know what she missed. Talk about some great food! . Unfortunately, the poor creature had terrible gas that night but was lucky enough to have four other Spanish mothers at the table, all eager to profer time honored remedies. After a couple of belly massages and té de anís, she was dramatically improved, and was able to engage in some very deep conversation (as evidenced by the photos above) with her aunt Bernice and uncle Alex.

Mr. Wildman here stole my camera and left a few surprises on it. Evidently, this guy thinks he the stuff!
