Nicolas' favorite toy



Nicolas loves this Ocean Wonders Soothe and Glow Seahorse a baby gift from Teresa. Thank you, Teresa!!

the attentive sister


She came home from the library, ran straight into the bathroom to wash her hands (without being asked) and then right to check on baby brother.


This little girl has the kindest heart ever...she really really amazes me with how sweet and caring she can be.

Nicolas doing his impression of "Maneki Neko" or "Lucky Cat".



Okay, you can't see it in these pictures but he actually has eyebrows and long eye lashes they are just very very light.

i love him sooooo much


"Mommy, I love this baby sooooo much." - Sky

"I love my little moon moon." - Sky (yes, that's the nick name she's given him, no pun intended.)


"Mommy, he wants me to hold him all the time?" - Sky

Nicolas makes five


Nana Beth and Bobba Steve welcomed their fifth grandchild, Nicolas into the family. Nora was the first, three weeks later was Aiden, then nineteen months later came Sky, fifteen months later came Tyler, and then fifteen months after Tyler came Nicolas.

the stork has landed again!







look at how he holds her!



Just walked into the living room and there they are...how nice. Look at Aiden's left hand.

messing around at the town center


We had lunch at the town center with Nana Beth, Bobba Steve, Uncle Caleb, and Aunt Jayna. It was Nicolas' first time at a restaurant and he was a perfect perfect (sleeping) gentleman.


Whatever my brother does, I must do.

thank you, aunt marilyn!


A package arrived in the mail today addressed to Nicolas, Sky, and Aiden from Aunt Marilyn (a.k.a. Aunt Maryland).

Aiden LOVES his Spongebob PJs and Sky has requested that we call her "Princess" when she's wearing her new PJs.

It just so happened that we opened the package and the presents right before nap time...sure made it easy to get them to go down for a nap!

Master Nicolas will be modeling his new outfits soon but Mommy and Daddy LOVE the outfits. Thank you, Aunt Marilyn!
