More Family Pictures

Here are some more pictures from the photo shoot at the Arboretum. What a good lookin' family!

Family pics

We went to the Arboretum on Saturday and took some family pictures. Here are a few... more to come... maybe...

Our summer...

We've had an exciting summer... Auntie Claire and Isaac came to visit from Australia! They, and Nana and Papa, basically got to stay with us for the month of June. Good times! Then we all flew to Alaska for Uncle Dave and Titi Laura's wedding (she's from Puerto Rico so we call her Titi instead of Auntie). We spent three weeks up there and had such a wonderful time. There's lots to blog about, but I just am having a hard time finding much time to do it. So bare with me (or is it bear... or beer... hehe) until I can get some time (and energy!) to blog again. :)

Uncle Dave got hitched!

A quick blog... Uncle Dave got married! We love our Titi Laura! Here are some pics...

Uncle Matty T is in town!

Uncle Matt is in town... hooray! He brought his friend Genevieve with him from California, and we've had great fun together. Here are some pics of our visit...

Playing in the Spray Park at the zoo...

Having lots of fun...

Stephen...

The other day, I asked Stephen "What we should do tomorrow?" and he replied, "Plant a garden." I thought it was a cute response, but having the very brown thumb that I do, I didn't actually envision planting a garden. Well, Stephen took matters into his own hands. He found some supplies next to our shed and planted his own garden. He moved the pots where he wanted them, added some lattice for decoration, and then planted some seeds (buttons he had found). Here's a picture of him watering his garden...

He also surprised me one day when he decided to take care of his puppy. He found a bottle on the rocking chair and proceeded to feed it to his puppy. Then he carefully put puppy down for a nap. When he got up, he made sure puppy ate again. Then Puppy needed to swing. Puppy, Puppy, Puppy! Hopefully it is a reflection of the help he'll be with Baby #3!

Stephen carefully put him in the baby swing... :)

Here's a great picture of Jerome and the boys swinging...

I am really enjoying his creativity and imagination. What a fun kiddo!

Belly shot

Here's a pretty recent belly shot. Kolbe (we think that's his name... he hasn't said otherwise, yet) is really growing. Yesterday, we were watching a movie, and Jerome could feel him kick! He's being a good baby... not making me sick or tooooo terribly tired. Just growing and kicking around in there. He's actually right now kicking as I type. :)
