Three months in one post......I know. I know..it's been awhile...but things have been pretty busy....what more can I say.
All in all life is good. We had a great Holiday season and good start in the New Year. Here are a few pictures to catch you all up with the happenings of the Kaufmann Family.

I love you more then you'll ever know ...little man!
Christmas '08
We had a great Holiday Season! MK was here for the entire month of December which was WONDERFUL. Little Hayden was our greatest gift of all and his little added spirit was so beautiful. Bode loved all the presents and still talks about "Santa" coming to "Bode's house"......
I am so thankful for my little family. They mean the world to me and sharing with them all the exciting adventures life has to offer is more then I could ever want.
Forest celebration
The day after Christmas we joined our dear friends and had a "Christmas Forest". Hiking through the snow, finding the perfect tree, lighting real candles, listening to a Christmas story, all while sipping cider and eating cookies.....it was a beautiful evening!
Up on the Mountain!
What's the saying...when in Rome do as the Romans...well the same goes for Switzerland...when in Switzerland....ski.
Yes, we are a skiing family...to be honest...the sport is the reason we're a family....9 years ago this March, Mandel and I met for the first time while skiing......
so it's only right that we pass this tradition on to our children...
and Bode loves it!
Hayden's Blessing Day
Hayden was blessed on Dec. 28th, 2008. We're so happy that Grandma K was here to join us as well as our dear friends Tanja & Simon and Mandel's mom Vreni. It was a wonderful day, and a beautiful Blessing. The words still ring out in my heart...especially those spoken about Hayden & Bode and the beautiful relationship they will always have....I see those blessing already happening in our life now...they truly are best friend.
New Years Eve!
We celebrated the start of the New year here at home and I have to say it was one of the best new years ever. We had yummy fondue, micky mouse sparkling juice & black forest cake (with sparklers on top) for dessert.
2008 was a good year for our family. Once again, I feel like we learned a lot, grew closer, and love each other even more. Of course the greatest thing that happened this year was little Hayden Marv joining our family. He makes us feel more complete.
Random Moments
World Cup Lauberhorn 2009
The house was rockin' this year during the world cup ski race held in Wengen. We loved having Becky, Scott, Shelly, Angie, Jenny, Justin and little Tate join us once again this year. It is a blast to go to the race and cheer on their sons (Stevne Nyman & Erik Fisher are members of the US ski team). Lots of laughs and new memories to add to the collection. Already looking forward to next year!
WE LOVE YOU ALL!
Love & miss you all!

Hayden just turned three months old and I keep asking myself where did the time go. He is the happiest and most well mannered baby I have ever met. He loves his family, and is willing to share his beautiful smile with all of us. He and Bode are best of friends. His face lights up any time he hears his big brothers voice. What a blessing! He has now started sleeping through the night and drinking 6 oz. easily in one sitting!
