My First Birthday Gift

Just wanted to pass on my first birthday gift since I have no idea who it is from. Apparently I've made a good impression on someone (check the address). :)

Guess where we are?

I could hear Ashlyn and Emma playing so well together from the family room. They were quoting Dora and laughing...but something sounded a little different - almost like an echo. Upon further inspection....I found the two had crawled into the dryer and were having the time of their life. Oh, to be a kid again!:)

Ethan at 3 Months

Is this the cutest boy you've ever seen, or what? I can't believe he is already 3 months old. I love his happy smiles and fun babble. He is a wonderful baby...we're so lucky.

Enjoying the last warm days...

I love evenings like this...running races, eating ice cream cones with hose attachments ("Emma, gross! Stop doing that!" (click, click)), dancing, making funny faces, and frolicking naked in the backyard (no, not all of us). We're going to miss these warm evenings, but we're looking forward to the beautiful days of fall.

Emma's Struggle

I hope you don't think we're bad parents...but I couldn't stop laughing.

Ethan at 3 weeks

Just take a look at the video and see what Ethan has been up to. Realize this was the 5th time and he was getting tired.

Ashlyn's recent work

As some of you may be aware, Ashlyn loves to steal the digital camera and take pictures around the house. The best part of about this is that we don't know about it until we go to dump the pictures from the camera into the computer. Here's just a few--our favorites--of Ashlyn's recent work. Enjoy!

OK I am going to try sending this movie. It is of Brig singing in the car.
Brig is going gothic!

Hey I know this is late, but I thought I would share some the pool photos.

Ethan - 9 days old

It's been an eventful first week of Ethan's life. We are finally done with the phototherapy for jaundice (the tanning bed in a suitcase) - and Mom and Ethan couldn't be more thrilled. Ethan is a very sweet and well-tempered baby. We are so happy that he has joined our family!
