New Family Photo

This is our latest family photo. God has truely blessed us with such a beautiful group.

Our Growing Boy!

Noah is really growing quick. He is already taking a few steps and will be walking any day now. He is such a happy little boy and full of energy too.

Noah's First Birthday

Noah had a great time at his party. He really got into his cake as you can see from some of the pictures. Thanks to all those that could make it to the party!

Farmers Dominic & Brianna Milking a Cow

Dominic and Brianna had Fun at the Indiana State Fair. They had a whole area for kids to "Be a Farmer for the Day". They gathered eggs, fed the pigs, planted & picked vegetables, rode on tractors and even got to milk a cow. At the end they got to sell their products to the market and even buy something with their money. It was great FUN!

10 Years of Wedded Bliss!

Andrew and I celebrated our 10 Year Wedding Anniversary on June 13 and went on a short romantic getaway to South Haven, Michigan. It was really nice to re-connect (without kids) and spend a little quality time together. It was such a beautiful place. We hope to go back sometime (maybe even with the kids). Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for watching over the munchkins while we were away. I know they had a great time too.

Indy 500 Rookie Run

Dominic and Brianna had a great time in their first ever road race (can you tell they belong to Andrew). Sorry the video is a little choppy. Andrew and the kids got me a new FLIP video for Mothers Day and we are still learning to use it. Plus it was very crowded and tough to get good shots. They all got medals at the end and they are both ready to do it again next year.

Messy Eater

Noah is getting to be such a big boy. Here are some recent pictures of him eating. I think more was on his face than in his mouth. I've got a few here with him cleaned up too.

Easter 2008

The kids had a blast coloring eggs, doing their Easter egg hunt and of course eating lots of Candy. Brianna loved her new Easter dress that grandmas sent for her. Unfortunately it was way too cold to wear it. Thank God for the gift of his son as we celebrate this blessed day.

Spring is Here!

We got a couple of nice days in March and the kids were able to get out and ride their new bikes they got on their birthday. They enjoyed some fudge pops as well as some soccer and baseball. You gotta love spring!

A Rosey Mess

It was Saturday morning and the kids wake up at 7am and go it to wake up mom and dad. Mom and Dad are tired and tell the kids to go downstairs, grab a breakfast bar and turn on cartoons.

When we come down to fix breakfast and get everyone going we find that Dominic and Brianna have dumped out dried rose petals (collected from roses given to Nina from Andrew over the last 10+ years) all over the floor, couches, in the playpen. It was quite a mess. I took pictures because I knew that someday I would look back and laugh.

Twins 4th Birthday Party

They had a Curious George birthday and had a great time reading stories and playing games. Of course they enjoyed the cake and presents too. All the kids got to take home a bunch of bananas to make Curious Georges's special Banana bread with. Thanks to all who attended and all those that wanted to.

Family Fun

Almost every Tuesday evening we go to the local Chick Fil-A for dinner out. It's kids night and the kids eat free and they have games, face painting and a play area that would tire any kid out. Here are some pictures of the kids recent paintings and a few snapshots of the twins with their favorite baby brother.
