Fashionably Sensitive

Maddie and Addie are cousins, born just 6 weeks apart (Addie is older). This is a picture of the first time they met. The outfits were not planned (though we might coordinate them in the future). Thanks for being prepared for the Kodak moment, Krystal, since it seems I never have my camera when I need it.

What does a Kitty Cat Say?

Here's the latest video of Isaac making his animal sounds, especially for you, Brookie! You have to listen sort of close on some of the sounds (and use your imagination as well----you can't expect too much from a one-year-old).

Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful

These two babies are destined to be friends for the following reasons:

1) Their mamas are long-time friends from the mission

2) They will both grow up speaking Spanish (yay for bilingual babies!), and

3) They both have rock star hair! Who wouldn't be jealous of their heads of hair? Maddie's mane has already been compared to the likes of Kosmo Kramer and Christopher Walken. Ryan and Isaac both have to contain their jealousy because she has more hair than the two of them combined. More pictures and videos of our trip to come. I know you're waiting on the edge of your computer chair for updates (especially my brother).

Lucky Me!

Look what I won this week from my friend's give-away blog: Maddie is going to be one stylin' girl in these bibs! To see more cute baby stuff, check out the Sweet Sugar Baby website here.

Happy 4th!

Here are a few pictures taken yesterday. We had a fun-filled holiday here in Iowa, which included a parade (they throw the best candy here---including chocolate! I didn't see one piece of hard salt water taffy), fireworks (Isaac was mesmerized, it was great), and a BBQ with friends (although we forgot to defrost any meat and instead took ham sandwiches--have I told you I'm addicted to ham these days?). Isn't she a cute little firecracker? Her hair is so crazy that, without a headband, she looks like a rock star. I love it and am praying that it doesn't fall out like everyone says it will Papa and his little rock star princess Tummy time has become more difficult with two. It usually takes place after Isaac goes to bed (if at all). He is becoming more and more fascinated with his "baby" and loves to give her big open-mouthed kisses on the head. I keep waiting for those kisses to turn into bites.
