We're back, with a cute pic and a new car ...

Hello everyone ... it has been a while but I've got some time to get the blog updated. The kids are doing great. Nate is cruising and I wouldn't be surprised is he is walking soon. He's actually pushing Ella around on her Little Mermaid car (hope to get some pics of that soon.) Ella is crawling up a storm and pulling herself up to her knees at least, so Daddy will be lowering her crib soon. Her favorite word these days is "baby." Nate is partial to "go."

Here's a pic our friend Sara took of the kids in the park!

In other news, we got a new car! Well, new to us at least. My dear departed '95 Civic has been replaced by an '06 Mazda5! Brought it home yesterday, the new car seats are installed and the kids seemed to enjoy their first ride today:

Ella crawls; Nate loves the camera

Ella recently joined the ranks of the crawling. Here she is with her brother, checking out some of his favorite spots. Nate wasn't sure what to make of Ella's new-found mobility at first, but now they are playing more together and chasing each other around the room.



Another recent shot. Rub-a-dub-dub.

Daddy coming home today

I've been out of town for a few days, lending a hand to my sister Mary and her gang in Southern California. Will be back Sunday though and hope to get new pics on the blog soon. Miss those babies and Karin too of course!
