Cute picture

We are back from the Bay Area and had a great trip. Dave is going to upload pictures soon, but here is a cute one to tide over the Nate and Ella fan club.

Yes, I am still here

Dave just pointed out to me that he has been the one to post the last twenty or so posts on our blog. He even said, "People miss your insights." I am going to make a big effort to become a better blogger. Really. I'll even post some new pics for your viewing pleasure.

Recent pics ...

Here's Ella today with one of her favorite toys. We call him "Doc Oc."


Here's a recent shot of Nate having his supper. He's been pretty sick the last couple of days, but we're hoping he has turned the corner.


And here's a shot of Nate and Ella's new wheels:

Not sure what it means, but I'll ask him when he gets older.

Ella and Nate's Check-up

We saw Dr. Nyweide on Friday for the six-monther. Nate weighed in at 17-10, with Ella keeping the pace at 14. Both are looking good on the percentile charts for weight, height and head circumference. Particularly head circumference for Nate :-)
