When mommy is helping baby Max, these are some things I like to do...

1. Play with mom's rings...

2. Draw on the doors...

3. Try out Max's swing...
4. Sneak into the bathroom with the suckers I've found and get sticky...

5. Play in the kitchen sink and wash everything I can get water on...
6. Not worry about mom getting upset 'cause I'm TOO DARN CUTE!!!

Updated pictures of our little Max!

MAX IS HERE!!!!

We are so excited to announce the addition of Max to our family!!! He was born March 5th a little after 8 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz, and was 20.5 inches. Mom and baby are both healthy and recovering nicely. We feel so blessed to have another sweet baby to add to our STL Crew!!

More pictures to come...I promise!

I didn't know George Washington was so darn handsome!

Happy Valentine's Day

Snow Dawgs!

Our long-awaited snowfall finally came! The kids have been outside for hours on end and loving every minute of it! Here in The Lou, we aren't sure how long it will last, so we have to take advantage of it! Ty measured it for us with his nifty snowman ruler that he made at school, and it was 6 inches or so. Hot chocolate has been a must after a good day of playing!

Having a blissful 2009!

My baby is 2 years old!!!

We celebrated Kate's big #2 birthday this month! We were even lucky enough to have grandma here with us for a visit. She was the perfect addition to the festivities! Happy birthday, Kate!

Trick-or-Treat for all you Star Wars fans!!!

Kate was so sick on Halloween night, we could barely snap a decent picture of her without her looking like she was going to collapse from fatigue!

A whole lot of new stuff starting with...Master Kenobi, USE THE FORCE!

Ty had his Halloween party at preschool today. He dressed as Obi-Wan Kenobi and felt pretty cool in his fresh Halloween digs. (He kept checking out his beard in the bathroom mirror to make sure it hadn't smeared.) At the party he played games, made some crafts, and came home with some great treats! He says he wants to be Darth Maul for trick-or-treating, though! To be continued...

"Make a Difference Day"

The boys had such a fun time helping out with the Make A Difference Day here in our city. They helped to clean up at a local park and wore their cool new orange work t-shirts that they were given. They even had some yummy hotdogs for lunch after their day of laboring out in the cold! Having some friends there made it even more fun, too!
