Numero Uno

Well, I finally climbed onboard the technology train. We're gonna give this blog thing a shot, and see where it goes. I figure, it'll at least be a good, centralized spot to archive and to share all our pictures and day to day stories as a family.

So, let's catch up, shall we?

There is too much. Let me sum up.


Ella is four years old. She just started preschool, learned to read and write her name in the first week, and loves every single minute of it. She loves broccoli, dancing, the musical Wicked, and her liddle brudder. She looks like this:
















Noah is almost five months old. He loves breastmilk, the color red, bathtime, and pooping on a regular basis. He can sit up straight, grab his toys, and will smile at anyone who will smile back. He looks like this:
















Except when I'm making him pose for pictures instead of feeding him, in which case, he looks like this:


















Either way, we think he's pretty cute.


Ivan's working too hard, as usual, playing softball once a week, and generally being Dad of the Year. I think he's got the competition wrapped up, considering he changed every one of Noah's diapers for the first two weeks of his life.

Ivan looks like this:















(pretty pensive, eh?)


And, as for me, I've been doing this stay at home mom thing since March, and I have my good days and my bad days. It is, without a doubt, the hardest job I've ever had, but (caution- cliche ahead) also the most rewarding. I wouldn't trade these days of being with the kids for anything. I'm absolutely sure that I'm learning more from them than the other way around.


I pretty much look like this:






















Anyhow, this concludes the update summation. Thanks for tuning in.

See you next entry.
