Eliana's Name

Nate taught Eliana how to write her name yesterday. Here is her first attempt!


Speaking of Eliana's name, it means "My God has answered me." Eliana is a beautiful reminder of how our God is near to those who call upon His Name.

Swing set progress

Nate has just about finished his playground extravagansa!
There were a few old tyres in our yard that Nate painted and made into climbing jumping equipment.
This was a weird rusty contraption that Eliana liked to climb. Nate moved it to the grass, sanded and painted it and Voila!

Eliana's family

Eliana is starting to draw her family with little details like eyes and smiles. I can't tell u how exciting this is for me! You can see that Lilah is small and Ambrose is "tiny" (as Eliana described him).

Reading Together

I came out of the kitchen today and found that the girls had put a book next to Ambrose for him to read. Love our sweethearts

Ambrose at ten weeks

Our little fella is pure joy. He had a few gold medals in his first few weeks: coolest birth date, best eater, most amount of outfit changes in one day, biggest spitter upperer, best sleeper, least amount of hair (or best aerodynamics as daddy puts it) .

He started laughing at 8 weeks when he was tickled. Singing songs brings out the chuckle these days.

He's a LONG baby. He's not filling out his outfits but he's too tall for 6 month old closed toe suits!

We praise the Lord for our little buddy of joy!

Like Sister, Like Sister

"Anything you can do, I can do too!" Lilah loves to copy her big sis these days :)
