Our Baby News

Here are our 2 little guys making their announcement! Yes, even Ty will be a big brother now : ) The baby should be here at the end of September. Connor will be 4 by then (just starting preschool) and Ty 22 months. I had been having a hard time thinking of Connor being gone every morning in school, but with our little surprise on the way am feeling a bit relieved! It will probably be good for all of us - Connor can burn off some extra energy and I can have some quiet time w/ the little guys : ) And then again I may be deceiving myself... is there quiet time w/ an almost 2 year old?! We shall see!

Sorry for all of these similar pictures - I can never decide what one I like best so you are stuck w/ a few!

Visiting Todd & Ina before their big move

We went to see Todd & Ina before they flew out on Monday. Craig, Mindy, Micah, Ayla, Mom, Dad & Amanda spent the night at our place on Friday night, then drove down together on Saturday. It was a really nice trip. We played "Catch Phrase" on Saturday night and that got pretty funny (right Dad?!). Sorry I don't have pictures of everyone there - the pool area was really steamy so most of the pictures were foggy.

Hmm??? Not sure about this one

Playing at Home

Ty and Daddy playing a duet (or something!)

Ty could sit up here for hours - if only we could trust him not to fall off!

Daddy's boys

Building a Snowman

Tina and Maja came for a visit last week. Tina took Connor outside to play in the snow & ended up building this cute snowman. It looked so fun that we all had to come out and keep them company : )



As you can see, Tina did most (or all!) of the work. Apparently Connor was observing.
