He's getting so big!

Gavin turned 1 in May. Here are a couple of pictures from his party:

I think he's signing water in this one with Dan!

We sure love our Mr. Gavin!

Happy Birthday little man!

Look who's 3!

We celebrated Grayson's third birthday in April. He is getting so big, and turning into such a neat little boy. Dan and I find ourselves looking at each other with surprise when he comes up with a new way to do things, a new phrase or way to express himself to us. We are enjoying the ride to be sure!

 Wall-e paraphernalia and robot parts decked the house for the party.

 And one of Gavin, well, just being Gav! Few diversions are quite as fun as sticking one's tongue out!

Watch for more pics soon of Gavin's first birthday party from this last weekend!

Ahhh...fall is here. Crisp mornings, leaves on the ground, the holidays just around the corner.

The perfect time to capture our family on film.

Here's the latest work Suzannah Kruse has blessed us with:

Is this really my family? Seeing it through a lens reminds me how profoundly blessed I am.

On a lighter note: Notice that Dan isn't sitting in the grass!

He has a thing about touching grass and/or getting dirty.

Lastly, one of us with my (Tia's) parents. I love it!

Summer Activities!

Gavin, Grayson, Dan and I have been enjoying the warm weather through a variety of activities so far. Walks, the pool in the backyard, trips to Grandma and Grandpa's house, BBQing, watching movies, eating cherries and watermelon, going to the park, playing with friends, and running through the sprinklers. The list goes on! So much summer fun we're having!

Here is Gavin, just laying around! One of his favorite activites. He's quite good at it!

Grayson got a hold of the camera. There are a bunch more just like this one as well!

Dan enjoying sweet little Gav resting on his chest!

Oooo, fireworks! Grayson loved buying them, playing with them in and out of the package, and of course, finally, watching Dan set them off on the 4th.

What an awkward little kid!
