Time flies...

Man does time fly...I feel bad looking at the last post realizing that it was over two months ago. I think all the excuses are now invalid. We finally have our wireless Internet and cameras fixed. Now we just have the task of updating everyone on the last few months.

Dani is fast approaching the 1 year mark. She is continuing to be a sweet mellow baby ( I think God knew what kind of brother she had.) Just this week she started walking. I think she got up to 10 steps today at church. Kids seem to know when their parents are not there, and then they do all the cool things. Dani is opposite of Chris who walked first and then got his balance and figured out how to stand up. Whereas Dani will stand all day long doing knee bends with the occasional step. The crawling is still the preferred method of travel in the house though. She seems to think she is aero dynamic and puts her head down when she wants to go faster. It is hilarious to watch.

As for Chris he is also getting close to a birthday...believe it or not he will be 4 at the end of May. Chris seems to always keep things exciting in our house. Thankfully we have actually been able to avoid the ER since January. Something tells me that as he gets more and more daring on the scooter....we may be there soon. He still loves playing baseball, going to the park with Sierra, and most recently playing policeman. He seems to think that as soon as he puts on Bryan's old work boots that he is instantly a policeman. Don't worry unlike Chris, Bryan actually does where pants to work. Somehow Dani is always the one that he ends up putting in jail. I think this is just the beginning of the torture that a big brother somehow feels obligated to put a younger sibling through.

The ever changing life we seem to have as parents is great though.... Bryan and I realize that no 2 days are ever the same around here. We actually got away for a weekend to in March for a good friends wedding. It is always nice to remember who you were before we had kids, plus the benefit of seeing all my old college friends. It had been way too long.

Hopefully the posts and pictures will be more frequent now a the next new , gross, fun or random thing occurs at our house.

That pic of Chris in the boots is priceless. That should go in his high school year book when he graduates:
Dear Chris,
We are so proud of you. We love you so much. Happy graduation. Good luck in the real world.
Love, Mom and Dad
