The Karlguts...continued...
Well hello and happy 2009!
We're happy to announce that we'll be welcoming baby girl Karlgut to the world in mid June. If you know the Karlguts, you know they're not very good at making girls...so this is a pretty big deal for the Karlgut clan. Although Yuri is still convinced it'll be a boy because it's not possible that they'll have a third girl within at least SIX GENERATIONS. Think she'll be spoiled?
Well, here are some pics of our recent days...enjoy!

Is it snowing already?
Auden is doing great...getting so big, talking so much and perpetually interested in learning everything around him. He'll be starting daycare two days a week, in early December, as Amy's taken a part time job to head up marketing and customer satisfaction for a local tech company. She's really excited to be back amongst the adult-kind....and this should be a good transition for Auden, into preschool...NEXT YEAR! How is that possible??? With our babies in mind, we also want to share that we're expecting a sibling for Auden in mid June. Time to turn the office into another bedroom! Ilya continues to flourish in his position at MMC and anxiously awaits his next step on the corporate ladder.
Here's hoping this finds you all doing well, enjoying the deep dive into the holiday season and staying warm and happy wherever you are!
Best,
the Karlgut clan

Father - Son project...
But back to the topic at hand...Sunday morning Ilya had a new project planned for he and Auden to pass the time while I snoozed...and this Sunday it was a wooden train that needed to be glued together and then painted. All you mommies out there who can hear me...do NOT let your spouses undertake a painting project without shaking them by the shoulders and reminding them that two year olds will get paint on everything! Now Auden is a very careful kid...but we still had paint up the arms, on the jammies, on the booster seat, on the table...you get the idea. In any case...the results were adorable...check it out...

Family Vacation to Allegany State Park...
Looks like the camper is all set up so what should we do first?
Uncle Andy thinks Ben's still a little too young for frisbee.
It IS pretty hot this weekend...
...let's go see what's going on down at Quaker Lake!
I swam out really far with Mommy!
All that swimming is making us hungry!Uncle Jon found Anika something tastey to eat.
After some swimming, Daddy taught
Anika and I how to fly a kite!
Uncle Andy and Titi are going to show Benhow to fly a kite, too!
It was hard work but I got the kite up in the airfor a little while!
*phew!* ...all that swimming and playing reallytires a little guy out!

Mother's Day Weekend...
The dog's water bowl...a perfect place to wash off dirty paws! (iew)
That's Seneca Lake, just beyond the trees of our campsite.
By no encouragement from anyone, Auden kept asking to 'hug tree'.
He would run from tree to tree, giving big hugs.
Ilya said, "I didn't realize hippie was genetic!"
The littlest tree hugger!
