Dad's New Chapter

My dad has joined my mom in retirement! He had a celebration on Friday and he worked his final day today. We took a few pictures of him on his route. He hung up the mail bag for the last time after 20 years of service. He begins his retirement with a golfing trip. We are excited for this time in our parent's lives.

Fun in the sun

I was lucky to have a day off with the kids during the week and it happened to be a perfect day to play outside! I set up the water table and *poof* instant fun. Okay, it wasn't instant since we had to get suits on, slather in sunscreen, take it out of the box, put it together, get the hose out, fill it with water, realize the plug wasn't in yet and refill with water. Whew!

Dru's current "playlist"

We get to hear this hundreds of times a day. We thought we shouldn't be the only ones to enjoy it.

Church directory photos

These were taken about a month ago. It was a week night, so not too bad. Luckily we had a patient photographer.

Leo's First Birthday Party

Leo's birthday party was a success! Brunch and cake, a great combo! Leo hasn't been too interested in eating table food so as you can see he didn't just dig right in. Dru was a great help opening his gifts and made sure everyone saw what he received ("Look at this, guys!") He is crawling all over and pulling himself up anywhere he feels like. Walking will be soon and I know he'll love it! We are looking forward to a summer where he can run around with his sister. Thanks to all who helped us celebrate his big day!!

Happy First Birthday, Peanut!

This year has gone so quickly it's hard to believe our baby is already one! Leo has been a delight to have in our lives. With his infectious laugh and good nature we couldn't be more blessed. Without a doubt this has been an eventful and crazy year. He is now crawling like a pro and trying his best to stand up on his own. He is figuring out how his legs work with practice from Mommy each day. We know once he's walking it's going to change everything! We are excited to celebrate his birthday with family this weekend with a breakfast party. We are anxious to see how he changes this next year, though we are going to miss these days of him as our baby.

Happy First Birthday, Leo from Mommy, Mama and Dru!!! We love you!!!!!
