An Update

After unloading the diapers, our creative 2 year old decided to color inside the box while sitting in it. Huggably cute!


Tess is going to grow up to cook like her mom, she is already practicing! We made M&M cookies the other day.


So pretty... Tinkerbell!


Smart girl climbed onto the warm clothes on a cold rainy day! Walked out of the room for a second and came back to this. Nearly giggled myself silly!

Yve smiling!

This is about the 2nd week Yve has been smiling, here is a little glimpse of our charming baby!

Havasu or Bust!

We were blessed to have another mini trip within two weeks, this time out to Havasu to visit the Pakes. We try to make it out there at least twice a year to visit Stefan and Tess' Godfather Adam and his growing family. We had the pleasure of playing with little Leila (pictured) who is already 5 months young. We were joined by both sets of parents. We attended a Rockabilly Carnival, tried to take a boat ride but the battery was dead, played on the beach in the 60 degree water, went swimming and best of all watched incredible fireworks provided by the Pyrotechnics convention. I think this will be a trip we repeat every year, we had so much fun! Thank you to our generous hosts!!!!

Big Bear Vacation!

Oh Boy! This was such a fun time! Tess made snowmen, ate snow, and then went sledding for her first time. And was it cold...brrr! We were there for 4 days and had an absolute blast!!! Stefan was able to snowboard with two of his good friends, he was long overdue for some snow fun and had a fabulous time!

Yve's Churching

Yve was churched on January 24th. She was a good girl with no crying, thank goodness!
