Photoshoot in July

Thought it was time for a nadia update. She's still doing awesome! She's started grabbing with both hands any toy you put in front of her, she smiles and coo's and giggles all the time, and her latest is sticking her tongue out when she smiles (reminds me of bren), she just loves watching the boys and when they talk to her, and wants to be part of everything including when we eat - she's even starting to grab her toes (my fav)! I just can't get enough, she is just so dang adorable!

Harry in DC

Yeh, daddy is home, we are so happy to have him back, but "harry" had to make one last stop before coming home. At the white house, of course. The boys sure have an amazing daddy, with an amazing job. We are blessed in so many ways.

who is touring DC?

Who is in John Kline's chair at his DC office?

Who is in front of the US capitol? Who is in front of the washington monument? Could it be, Could it be, Kobe's penguin? Traveling DC?

Daddy in DC

Daddy is in Washington all week (mon-fri). Your family misses you, daddy. We love you.

Watch for more to come on this subject . . .

Brennan's first sport . . .

Brennan started soccer for the first time last wednesday night. It was worrysome when we got down to the field (the park in our backyard) and he asked where his chair on the sidelines was! Once the coaches started talking though he got out there and did everything they said. It was adorable to say the least. Go Bren Go.

Nadia at work?

So I talked about Nadia's "office" - here she is, hard at work, learning so many new things. She just loves this activity gym, and spends hours under it - best $5 I ever spent.

nadia's new move

Watch out world, here comes nadia . . . as I was eating breakfast this morning, I looked over at nadia playing in her "office", and she had flipped onto her tummy. I snapped a picture, and then she rolled back onto her back, so she rolled both directions for the first time within 2 minutes. My baby is now mobile. Oh no.

Baseball Season

Kobe's first baseball season is over. He learned a lot and improved a lot. He had a lot of fun, met some new friends, and that's what it's all about. Looking forward to many years of baseball watching.

1/4 year

Our baby girl is 3 months old today. She loves to chew on her hands now, hold a rattle, still loves to play in her jungle gym, more with her feet now and her newest move is to nearly roll over as you can see above. Seems like she's been part of our life forever. Luv our baby girl, and enjoying our special time. Nadia misses her big brothers, and so do mommy and daddy (they are with G&G).

Como Park and Zoo

I can't remember the last time I was at como park/zoo, but we headed there today for a picnic in the park and a little zoo time. It couldn't have been a more perfect day, nadia slept in until 9am while we got ready, then she stayed awake, loved laying on a blanket in the shade at como park while we grilled, and she slept the entire time we were at como zoo. The new polar bear exhibit is wonderful, the boys got to see the bear swim right in front of them, and then we took in "sparky the seal" show. Mommy and daddy are exhausted, and it's just the start to a fun filled weekend. Better get to bed.
