Aunt Amanda Visits Seattle...

Aunt Amanda ventured out to Seattle for a long weekend about a month ago.  She had a chance to meet her God-Daughter and to show Joshua a thing or two in the kitchen!

Looks like she found the way to Joshua's heart!


Good job, Joshua!


Looks like he's got it!

Family Photos!

Joshua, Heather, and I were so happy with the photos taken in the Arboretum we decided to have some professional photos taken at home.  And this time Alyssa was able to strike a few poses :)  We included some of our favorites below.  The rest have been uploaded to Picasa Web Albums.  You can check them out by clicking on one of the photos below.  When your browser opens to Picasa Web Albums, click on "Photos" in the upper right corner.  When the page loads click on the "Family Portraits" album.  Enjoy!

Merry Christmas, Alyssa!

Well we had a great Christmas this year!  We had a houseful of guests to celebrate with!  As seems to be the case with these updates lately, there were too many pictures to fit on one page.  Be sure to click on the link to "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page to make sure you don't miss anything!  We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Below are a few photos from Alyssa's first Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas!


Big yawns!


No funny business, giraffe!  I've got my eye on you!

Ah, the magic of Ladybug...


If choosing a toy that would make a baby smile were a game in Vegas, definitely bet on the ladybug...


She's always good for a smile!


All settled down for a long winter's nap...
