Family Visit

My parents, brothers, and niece surprised me for my birthday with a visit from Arizona. It was so good to see them, and their stay was much too short. Kara and her cousin Kendra (one year older than her) were inseparable. We all had a good time.

Joshua used a fork to eat his tortilla chips.


Sometimes he used two forks.




Kendra and Kara, bestest cousins (Check out their matching clothes; that was not on purpose!)


ready for church with matching hairdos (Kendra's hair was SO easy to work with. It's super-fine, and I loved it!)


Mom & me

Happy Seventh Anniversary!


Thanks so much for coming!!

Edible Books?

Books are not safe from Nada. She's just too darn hungry when she wakes up from her nap!

Happy Birthday, Joshua!

Joshua had a bug party with some friends for his third birthday. I can't believe how grown up he is now!

At first the boys were wary of eating "dirt." It was pretty funny. After much convincing, they finally dug in and enjoyed!

Joshua gets pretty tired by dinnertime; once he even fell asleep at the table. (And remember this?)
