Blue Eyes Everywhere

Everyone in my family has blue eyes except me. I've dealt with it, and have fully embraced my unique green eyes. These photos really capture the baby blue party going on around me every day. Cuties all over the place.

Mother's Day 2010. Love, love, love these people.

M & E sing a little ditty about God and melt my heart in the process.
E reminds me of my young self a LOT at the end of this video!

Mustaches Are Not My Favorite

So A grew his annual "Januhairy" beard this year. Instead of shaving it off in February like normal, it lasted until April this year. Whoa. Overall, I actually embraced it and thought he looked quite handsome and rugged. Before the facial hair removal was complete, A decided to sport a 'stache for a few days. Wow. The girls helped him to not feel alone.

Spring, We Love You

Some shots from this past weekend. Oh, how good it feels to breathe in fresh, spring air with these beautiful people.

10 Months Old Today

It's crazy to look at the calendar and find that Baby H is already 10 months old. In just two months, our kids will be 1, 2, and 4! Little Miss H, we love you so. We can't imagine family life without you. Thank you for your smiles, your giggles, and your little wave when you say "Hi." We love your strawberry blond hair, the cute way you pull up on all the furniture to try to stand up, your genuine interest in what everyone else in the family is doing, and your admiration for peas. Happy 10 months, beautiful girl.

Happy Spring

It finally feels like spring has arrived. Even though today was overcast, it just felt like spring, smelled like spring. Lovely, lovely. We were outside at many points today...strollering, scootering, walking, riding, swinging, playing. Thank you, God, for newness. For fresh beginnings. For springtime.

M is a machine on her scooter. So fast. So skilled.

Baby H's first day wearing shoes. She turns 10 months old this week. Gravy.

Happy.

Favorite picture of the day...Miss E in her sand world.

Choosing to cherish these moments.

Love this.

Dinner with Garret & Aubrey. Can't wait to meet you, Sweet Baby Girl Shelsta!

Let's Go Ride a Bike

Over the weekend, M rode her bike for the first time unassisted! We are so proud of her! We'll work on the whole braking thing, but for now we celebrate this huge milestone. Yahoo! E is working on it, too, with her training wheels. Again, we'll work on some of the finer points of turning, stopping, etc., but there is much to enjoy in the simplicity of pedaling. Way to go, girlsies. We love you, springtime adventurers. Thanks to Lisa for helping out on the video team while I hung out with sleeping Baby H at home. :)

Biker girls

Picnic at Farmers' Market

We went to the CU spring football scrimmage on Saturday. The girls loved watching Ralphie the Buffalo run around the field before the game started.

Close-up with Ralphie. Go Buffs!

Fun with Eric and Joanne at the game!

The Last Several Months

Since lots of life flew by these last few months while this blog was silent, here's a quick catch-up in picture form. Enjoy!

With love from us to you!
