Mira lost a tooth!

With a loose tooth for a few weeks, we knew the day Mira wiggled it out was coming soon. Tonight, we were enjoying a dinner at Noodles when Mira announced her tooth had just come out! She was excited to have made it through an important rite of childhood. It's a little soon for us, since it means she's growing so fast!

Annabelle's getting big

Anna has been a very happy baby for the first 3 1/2 months of life. This past weekend we went up to Alexandria to Mandy's parents cabin to do some work and little relaxing.


The shed needed to be resided, turned out pretty good for 3 hack carpenter including 2 mechanics and one desk jockey.

Of course Anna needed all the shade she could get. Very fair skin in this one, pretty unusual for this family.

Anna was so excited to go up north that this is how I found her at 3am the morning before we left. It makes the early wake up alot easier when this is what you find.

She started rolling over this week and will soon be on cereal. She talks all the time and loves a good book to be read to her.

Happy birthday, Amelia!

We want to wish a happy 2nd birthday to Amelia Kaye! We love you so, Sweet Pea! (More photos and a longer post at the Watch Mira and Amelia Grow blog.)

Bonnie asked me to post these photos of Shelby and her boyfriend, Matt, on their prom night.
