He's Home!





Teddy joined our family officially on July 9!  He has been a bundle of joy... very playful, a bit shy with new people and things, and only one accident so far in almost 24 hours.  Tonight will be the first night of the crate and so far he doesn't seem to be into it.  We'll keep everyone posted!

"Teddy B!" is 5 weeks old!!!



We had a great visit to see the newest member of our family!  "Teddy B" (B is for Bear) will come home in 2 or more weeks.  He seems playful and yet very cuddly and cooperative when we pick him up.  We can't wait!!!

New Family Member, Part 3


And we are just SO excited for the December (potentially November?) birthday of Will and Erika's baby!  There is so much excitement in this family right now!  How lucky we are!
Although Olivia will be a bit sad as Erika's lap gets smaller over these next months, as she loves Erika's undivided attention and affection... :)


New Family Member, Part 2


We are thrilled to report that Baby Cousin Foster is doing well!  He is almost 5 pounds (almost!) and we like to think of him as the healthiest 10 week early babe there ever was.  We're so proud to have him as a cousin & nephew!  We love him and Liz and Chris!

New Family Member, Part 1




We don't know which one it will be, but here they are at 2.5 weeks old .....

Mother's Day!


Life seems complete with a morning spent with your own children and husband, a walk on the beach with your own mother (and brother!  Missing the sister, though!), a delectable lunch with family, and laughter!  Cheers to all of the mothers out there!

Halleluiah! Halleluiah!


We really needed a new grill...
... and our marriage survived the three hours that it took to put it together!  
We love this new member of our family...

Posing for mom vs. true selves... can you tell which is which?



Nothing like setting up a bedroom in the yard for fun!!!

End of Day 1

What I have learned:
1) My posts display a time that is 2 hours prior to my true posting time.  I'll have to figure that out.  Suggestions?
2) I need to take more photos to track our lives.  This blog could be a nice record that can ultimately remind the kids about what their lives were like over the years, if I can possibly keep this up.
3) I'm hoping this connects us to the kid's grandparents.  Grandparents?  Are you out there?  Are you reading?  I'm looking for a comment on this...
Goodnight!  And remember, I'm not going to bed at 8:50, rather, 10:50...

"Baby Seth"


Not so much a baby anymore, but whatever his age, he has inherited that nickname.... we love our cousin!

Uncles, dogs, we love them all!

Looking cute!

4...3...2...1... will the proportion always stay the same?


Charlie, Taylor, Audrey, Olivia!

Dave's Birthday!


Easter



I figure I'll review some events in our recent past.  Easter was fun... so here are some pics!

First Blog

Well, here I go, into the world of blogging.  I figure this might be a nice way to post new family information, photos, etc.  Perhaps a venue to let the kids interact with people in a new way.  I'll work on building it and will see how it goes!
