6 Months Later

Six months ago, we brought you this fun video....and now we have these hair cutting pictures to offer you.

Daddy can't resist one last big hair picture
Corban's before shot....sucker in hand
Corban after
Caden before...yikes! I rarely notice how long his hair is during the rainy season because the humidity makes his curls tighter. However, in the dry, it's just a long mess.

Caden's cute curls after (and Corban's toes)
I caught Corban sitting on this little bench all on his own and couldn't resist snapping a picture. He looks so big!
In the past, I've really missed Caden's curls when we've cut them off...but this time I really like the shorter look on him.
Brothers!

Couch Cushions

"You guys need to put ALL the cushions back on the couch before I come back in the room...or I know two little boys that will be getting spankings for not obeying" said the Momma.

After all, all I said was that the cushions had to be ON the couch.
Yes, I laughed.

Remember when Corban turned 2?

Me either. We didn't have a big celebration so it kind of just breezed by us. Our annual "Mattie the Bear" pictures and other yearly portraits did not happen until recently. That's right, our son's official two year pictures are actually of him a good month and a half into his 3rd year of life. Well, without any more complaining of what a slacker I am...here's the pics:

Taking pictures of a 2 year old on your own is a huge challenge. While I still wish I could have captured more "formal" pictures, I think these describe Corban pretty well. Love you little guy!

FAMILY...these are uploaded in large format and should be printable. Enjoy! ;)

Family Five Hundred

On March 9, 2005, we began this family blog with the announcement of our first pregnancy. Today, you are reading our 500th post. That's right 500. I've known for awhile that this post was coming and wanted to post something unique for it. I decided I would post a few pictures from New Year's Eve. I think these pictures sum up our lives together...



Here's to another 500 posts...love you Brett!

First Morning in 2010

I just wanted to remember how I spent the first morning in 2010...

I'm sitting on my porch in Togo, West Africa, wrapped up in a blanket (it's about 62 degrees) watching my 2 boys play outside with our monkey, Tiggy.

There are so many things that are not normal in the sentence....yet, this is normal...this is my life.
