Family Pics

Ok, so I know I haven't posted in forever. But in my defense, I haven't had a camera for the past couple of months so I haven't had any pictures to share. That's why I am so thankful to Dave McClellan for taking these photos of our family. (If you haven't checked out his blog, it's listed on my blogroll.) He does amazing work. I liked them all so much, I couldn't decide which ones to post!

In other news, the summer has been really good to us. Brent passed his final CPA exam and is very excited. We are both relieved that he will no longer have to come home and spend all night studying (at least not until grad school...but one thing at a time). Annabeth is as busy as ever, walking and running everywhere. She talks up a storm. I only wish I knew what she was saying. She loves spending time with her cousins and likes to play with friends. She likes reading all kinds of books, jumping on the furniture, and climbing on EVERYTHING. Last week as I was making dinner, I happened to glance over and see her standing on top of the table! She is a handful but we love her so much.

We miss our families and hope you guys are all doing well. Lots of love and hugs and kisses!

Annabeth liked playing in the sand. She didn't really care for the ocean.

9 Months and Growing!

One night in the life of a new mom....

12:30 - Dog wakes mom up to go outside.

1:30 - Baby wakes up with wet diaper and soaked crib. Replace with new diaper and new bedding. Give baby bottle.

2:30 - Baby awake again. Pants off. Diaper off! Bottle empty. Baby smiling. Replace Diaper. Replace pants.

2:35 - Baby refuses to go back to sleep. Put baby in bed with mom and dad. Baby makes strange noises for half an hour before conking out.

3:00 - Mom now awake and can't go back to sleep.

7:00 - Baby awake! Mom makes bottle. Baby plays on floor while mom (exhausted from nightime adventures) falls asleep on the floor beside her.

7:30 - Mom wakes up to rattling sounds coming from the kitchen. Finds baby in dog food. Baby EATING dogfood! Mom freaks out, smacks her on the back to get it out. Mom puts dog food on counter. Baby cries.

8:00 - Mom can't wait until baby takes a nap and is seriously worried about the effects of dog food. And the day has only just begun!

Back from the Holidays

So much has happened over the past few weeks. Brent graduated! Amy and Judd had a new little addition, and Annabeth had her very first Christmas. We've had so much fun hanging out with our families, and can't wait to see them all again! Brook, Baby Rylan, Amy, and Judd
