She prefers walking on her tip toes.

He loves to read. It's not unusual to find him tucked away somewhere with a good book in hand. In fact, it's my tool of leverage... "if you don't _______ I will take your book away!"

We looked everywhere for glasses to watch the eclipse yesterday.
When that didn't work out Cole took matters into his own hands and built this little contraption that worked!
And even though I was hoping for it to go really dark and see a ring of fire in the sky, it was really pretty cool!

Have I mentioned I am pretty fond of him!?

Such a good husband and father.

6 weeks old and full of beautiful smiles.
this baby is golden.

this bike has so many summer memories tied to it. seeing it makes me think of my kids & i feel happy.

she is constantly changing molly into andies clothes, feeding her and burping her. my personal favorites it when she bounces her around hugging her saying "shhh, shhh, shhh" just like i do to andie. funny how having this baby around has made my love for her deeper. daily i find little things that she has done that make me smile. like the bin in andie's room. tipped upside down to be used as a stool next to the crib, with molly asleep in it.

andie continues to love to be held. for the most part i love to hold her.

I love putting little movies together. The combination of pictures & video... I'm all excited just thinking about what I can do with all my home videos.
I have a handful of them and now that i've learned how to share them you can bet I will be doing just that.

A little game of who looks like who.
