Happy Easter 2.0

Easy rider

We took advantage of the first 70+ degrees day of Spring to spend the morning at the zoo and the afternoon out in the neighborhood. Rode a horse, flew a plane...

Mama's new job

Carrie is now officially a stay-at-home mom. After months of planning, we finally pulled it off. Her new job will be more work, but also a lot more rewarding. Below are photos of her new boss, apparently the dress code is pretty casual in his office.

For those about to walk (we salute you)

Our man is walking. He's teased us with a few steps here and there for the past two weeks, but finally on March 11, he put it all together and began to walk multiple steps at a time. He's slow, but steady. We'll post some video very soon, I promise.

Happy Birthday, Abraham!

All of the cliches about "they grow up so fast" are coming true. Abe turned ONE year-old on January 21. He is a wonderful little boy and we love him so (despite the fact that we still don't sleep more than 6 hours a night). We send thanks to his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins for the gifts and for helping us through our first year as parents. Below are some photos from the
birthday weekend...

The birthday gift bonanza begins...


The cake.


He was actually kind of freaked out about the "smash cake",
this is the only photo where he's not crying while his hands
are touching it.


Some of his favorite cousins...


Grandpa got him a horse (and put $2 on him
to place)...


The family at one year...
