Left Behind...

Tanner was pretty content with his new onesie until we told him what the shirt represented... he then spit out his binki and started pouting because he was left behind for this year's motoadventure. He sure misses his daddy!

The mountains are turning!

Ok I am not good at this yet . . . but these are some pictures we took up the mountains the other day. The colors are beautiful...and look at that couple, daaang!!

FROGGIE RESCUE ... and the big one makes 8!

We look forward to rescuing frogs daily out of the catch pool and came outside to find SEVEN, yes 7 of them! This turned into a SNL routine of catching the frogs ... them jumping back in ... Haley lining them up to count ... Roxy thought they were her dinner ... Andy and Justin chasing the big frog ... catching him and putting on Haley's head (big kids too) ... Haley piling them all up in her little hand ... squeezing tight ... legs hanging out ... the rescue begins all over again! 8 is too many! xo

hello babies? i just love you.

this morning, after a brief jog through dfw... and a long flight to dc (in the wrong seat, mind you. thanks to tsa's efficiency, a subscriber to "guns & ammo" magazine thought i was going to be a no-show, and stole my seat)... i landed in the nation's capital to a voicemail from little haley mae. and i quote "817. hi, 817 308, call me back. love you. call me back. thanks for painting my nails."

which served as a reminder that my nails are still painted, courtesy of nails by haley. (they were a hit at the office.)

happy birthday mom

Sweet Dreams Little One

Happy 1st Week B-Day Tanner

So the week has come and gone in a blink. We have been meaning to post something sooner, but the week has kept us busy going in and out of doctors appointments and enjoying all of the excitement that comes with being new parents. Little Tanner has also had a memorable week learning how to hold in his own binki and fold his arms for a prayer. We are so excited for what is ahead and feel very blessed for this new joy in our lives. (More pictures to come soon)

the district of colombia misses you and promises to be warmer this time
