First Park Trip!

She slept the whole time.  A great family outing.

Happy 2, Henry!

Such a special little boy.  His hugs melt my heart. 

Porch Swing Memories

I hope this swing becomes a home to a thousand memories for my children.  Thanks to my daddy for installjng it today!  I LOVE IT!!!

Baptism, Trains, Sweet frog, and Cigars

Our Sweet D is baptized!  The grandpas put together the world's coolest toddler train table.  Nick, Mandi, Blake, and Isabelle surprised us at our house.  We had our traditional Sweet Frog treat for Baptismal birthdays.  And my husband smoked his pipe.  Great day!

Hair Tails

I could write a million words about the adventures of Solomon's hair.  I will just say that there is a website called Chocolate Hair Vanilla Care for all those white parents in the black hair trenches with us!  :)

Two Ladies

Just relaxing before bed.  First trip to the airport park today, so we both needed the rest!  D is well traveled already.

Family Amtrak

The Stouts and the Hedingers took an Amtrak trip today to Salisbury and ate at the greatest local sandwich and ice cream shoppe - Spanky's. 

It was a great trip.  D has already rode the Amtrak!  It was also her grandparents' first Amtrak trip.

Home Sweet Home

A weight loss plan developed by God Himself.  Just deliver a baby.  Taken on Wednesday.

Dorothea Marie

She is here!  Thanks be to God!

Get Out of the House!

Take a family trip to the lake and bask in the glow of being hugely pregnant!  Have a glorious morning followed by your husband having to put air in your tires in a crazy downpour.  It was funny...for me and the kids.

40 Weeks +

I haven't updated.  I am REALLY pregnant.  That is all.

Breakfast of Champions

I love sneaking avocado and spinach into my babies.  Smoothies are the best!

Amtrak Quick Trip

We had a family lunch date on Monday - a quick train ride and lunch.  And our daughter turned 39 weeks...tick tock.

Walk It Out

I don't believe that ANYTHING makes a baby come before it is ready to, but that doesn't stop me from mall walking to try...

Train Station

We love having a busy train station in town!  The people working there LOVE when kids come to watch, and they always load us down with train stuff!

Dresser Transformation

There was this old nasty full of potential dresser in the attic of the house we used to live in when we were in IN. The owners said if we wanted to try to get it down, it was ours. I never pass up cute shaped free furniture. Finally, two years later it got its tender loving care; I don't normally like to paint furniture; Staining is classy and sleek, but this piece was a little too far gone for my abilities, as the veneer was almost completely gone.  So, paint it was...and some new drawer pulls.  Cute cute cute.

My Artists

Solomon asked me to draw a snail, then said, "My turn!", and drew the awesome snail below mine.  Then, Henry said, "My turn!", and drew the circular thing in the bottom left.  I was so proud of both of them!!

Airport Park

Solomon loved picking up Daddy and Henry from the airport on Tuesday.  I am not sure if he was more excited by seeing them or the planes...

Date Day with Solomon

Pictures from our Mommy and Me Date when Daddy and Henry went to Indiana for Grandpa's funeral.  Such a great day - this is from Monday.
