Harkin's 1st Day of School!

Summer Time!

It has been a summer full of fun and family. Time at home mixed with time away. 

Here are a few highlights from the past few months!

Cousin Eloise comes to visit!

Plenty of playground fun this summer!

Tobias cooling off with a cold glass of milk after being hard at play out back.

Uncle P-Lo, Lisa, and Eloise come to play!

We have loved our bike trailer this summer~ a favorite napping spot!

Most recently... we got special time with our cousins in Aspen.

Tobias runs in the green grass of Colorado-- he is stretching out and slimming down!! 

Harkin and Wilder strolling the streets of Aspen hand in hand.

Harkin enjoying every minute of her time with cousin Georgia!

This picture captures the current relationship between H & T: double trouble and best buds!

Harkin sporting leg warmers at the farmers market- 90 degree heat does not impact her fashion decisions :) 

Cozy Coupe Fun

Thanks to Ms. Diggs and Jordan for finding and sharing the new Cozy Coupe!

It has made for a lot of fun and some good pictures too!

By far, the best pic of the day!

Our sweet boy is ONE!

One year ago, he was a bump....

The Lord breathed life into him. All 10 lbs 6 oz of him.

And for one year now, we have been so blessed by Tobi the silly,

Tobi the sweet,

Tobi the handsome.

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy. We love you!

Christmas Memories...

We are just now recuperating from post-holiday sickness and readjusting to the old routine. As we've caught up with friends and shared highlights from our MN vacation, we continue to give thanks for our family. Below... some of the highlights.

We have the VERY best Papa! The best Mo Mo too, but she misses the pictures because she is busy making Christmas happen!

We also have the best Ya-Ya and GP and were so happy to have them with us in MN!

"Hey YaYa, do you have any games on this thing?"

Being with the cousins was the most fun of all!

I mean, our cousins are really really cool.

And that dancing Frosty sure was entertaining...

Open-mouthed, our little munchkins saw Santa up close for the first time....

And soon after went bananas when forced onto the strange man's lap.

To me this last picture captures what Christmas is all about. Sharing laughs and building memories with the ones you love most, in the place that for me, will forever be home sweet home.

Thanks to MoMo and PaPa for making this Christmas and so many others so very special.
