Bronzer should be worn in every season of the year!

Mary started to outgrow nap time, but since pictures like this were the result we have recenlty introduced a stricter staying in your room policy.

Happy Halloween

This is cute Mary as a bunny for Halloween. I told her to turn around so i could get a picture of her tail and this is the pose she gave me...i think she's a natural

Our Little Walker

This was taken at the immigration office in Las Vegas where John passed his actual citizenship test, but because he wrote down 5 years of information instead of 3 has to resubmit his request. Where are the checks and balances people

One small step for evyn....

This was so fun to watch and just happened over and over with mary squealing in the background!

Happy Birthday Evyn!!!

I can't believe our little baby goose is actually a year old. I know that's still young in the grand scheme of things, but there is so much you already know by one. Evyn has always been a calm baby, by calm i do not mean likes to sit still, she is on the go almost all the time, but she is happy and just goes with whatever we need to do. The following is a list of my favorite things, memories and whatever comes to mind:

I Love it When:

*You come and snuggle or lounge on the couch ( at least 30 times a day)

*You crane you little head all the way around mine so you can see what i'm doing

*You lay on me to protect me from the evil chiropractor

*You play hide and seek with Mary (though you are always the seeker)

*You yell at random people on the street

*You amaze people at the park by climbing the slides and ladders (all by yourself)

*You smile with your 4 little toothies

* You wave bye-bye and play pat a cake

*You lay down in your bed and chatter as you go to sleep

I was Sad When:

*Your fingers got burned

*You wouldn't eat when i had to visit daddy at the hospital

*You had RSV and they had to draw blood:(

You amaze me Evyn I love you and i'm so glad your labor was so much easier then i'd had previously, it means you might actually have a chance of being a big sister one day. Thank you for the peace and constant love and curiosity.

i swear she was going for it when i started filming, but i think she's a little camera shy. it was so cute evyn and her friend quentin would reach out and touch sticky hands.
