Guess which bed belongs to which child?

The Beach with Kody

We just had a great visit with Kody--everyone was very sad to see him go back to Florida. Jack was especially sad as he wanted to go, too. Sadly, we did not get any good pictures of Kody with the kids--but Kody took some great ones of Russell and Jack at the beach.

Jack & Madeline

We love the boucy seat, and Jack finds Maddie much more interesting now that she can "sit up".



Baseball Jack.


Could things be any pinker?
All is still going well here! I figured I should post some random pictures since these two change so much every day...

Big Brother

Jack generally pays little attention to baby Maddie, but if she is crying, he runs around the house saying "Oh no!" He does like to hold her and to "help" her rock in the swing. Overall, it's going pretty well.

Bathing Beauty

I decided that Maddie deserved one post all to herself. She is an angel so far, eating well, doing lots of growing and sleeping.

Here she is thinking deep thoughts:


and bathing:

Grandma Weez and Grandpa

We just had a wonderful visit with Grandma and Grandpa. After Jack decided that they were not in fact here to steal his parents, he and Maddie both enjoyed their time together. It was very sad for us to see them go.

Thomas the Tank Engine

Well, Russell and I thought Jack would absolutely LOVE to ride on Thomas. Just love it. Turns out, he thought it was okay--not as enamored as we had thought he would be. Maybe he'll like it better next year?
But he had fun hanging out with Russell and Brent.
