Friends, friends, friends

During the month of January we had lots of friends over to help us get through the surgery recovery. Of course there were lots of opportunities for pictures!

Corissa with her kids, Leah and Isaac - having a snuggly moment.

Leah and Corissa came over to play while Davis and Steff were here, and Leah wasted no time in showing those boys what a woman driver can teach them!

Michael also learned how to take turns (big development!) while shooting baskets with Leah and Davis. he now thinks that if he tells us it's his turn, that he automagivcally gets what he's waited all of 10 seconds for!

Dan's Son

So yesterday I caught Dan's son jumping like a monkey on the couch!

Quick shot of the jump:




Longer video of the jump (he knows Mom is watching him, he knows he's not supposed to be doing it, so he was trying to be cool about it...)



Mommy's Trying Something New

Hi all! We took some great short videos of the kids this week and I thought I'd try to figure out how to share them with you through our blog. Enjoy!

This one is of Miranda crawling, which she started this week. One day she got up onto her knees, and by the end of the day she was crawling all over the house. She decided two days later to go up the little steps from out playroom, so it seems like something she's been thinking about for a while! No baby steps for this little firecracker, she just gets up and does it! Watch out, world!

No Clever Title Today

We haven't posted anything in a while, so I'm trying to get some new stuff up early this morning before the day gets going. However, it means I'm hardly awake and can't think of a fun title today! "Oh well," as Michael says so much these days. :O)

For your enjoyment are the following:

These first two are of Mr. Michael, who refused to take a nap one day in January (it certainly wasn't a nap he took when he slept for 2 hours on the couch, he was sure of that!) Looks like a nap to me...

Miranda is continuing to get cuter and cuter (but we're not biased or anything :O) and she really gets a good giggle going these days. Love that buddha belly!

Finally, I had a good giggle over this. Dan's parents came to stay with us to help out while I was recovering and Dan's dad got Michael dressed a couple times. I thought it was so cute when Bob picked out an outfit to match his own!
