Mia's Sunday

From these photos, it seems like she always her binky in her mouth. I swear; she doesn't!

2 Weeks!

Mia is two weeks old today! I'm sad because I love her little blob body, but alas, she grows. She is a lot more animated now and beginning to focus on our faces and her favorite object of interest: the wipe container.

First Official Fathers' Day and More...

David was beaming all day today. He is finally official! Here are some new photos from the last few days: A smile perhaps? or gas?

Doesn't she look so snuggly?

With Dad as usual...

Ahhh! You're choking me!

Eyes Wide Open

We have made good use of this second-hand swing. Amelia loves it!

She's Here!

After a long wait, some difficult experiences, and one incredible young woman, our baby is finally here!

North Face Endurance Challenge

Happy Birthday, David!

For his 25th birthday, David decided that he wanted to run the 50k (31 miles)trail race in Bellingham. I decided to run the 10k along with Joe, Lexi, and Mom R. I had a fabulous time & it was so beautiful!


David and Joe were at the front of their respective races the entire time, of course, while the girls stuck it out together.

Note the matching shirts. I'm certain that each of us saw our elephant on Sat. in our own way!

Hike to Paradise...literally

Girls: Arianna, Me, Jasmine, Mom

My sister, Arianna, brought me a little Walnut tree that she dug up from their yard. We decided to take a picture with it. Ethan was busy riding the little motorcycle around our yard, so we are one down. My sisters are blessed with photogenic genes...
