Horse Play

For weeks Elsa has been talking about wanting to ride a horse, and she finally got her chance. Of course, she now wants one of her own...

Playground

Elsa has been a regular at the new playground in town.  It was a community built playground that took 8 days to build. Paul helped out for several hours so Elsa often refrains, "Daddy built it!" Recently, her dad took her and her friend Cecily to the park for a picnic. 

Elsa has been a big help around the house with the new baby. She has taken a recent interest in cooking and reading books to her baby brother. 

Summer Time!

Schoooool is out for SUMMER!

School is out and Elsa has had an action-packed summer! It started with her cousin Lily coming down from Anchorage. The girls "napped" on the couch, had a quiet dinner together and then went to the new playground in town.

A First Time for Everything

Here's a little overview of some of Liam's firsts. Perhaps the excitement was a little overwhelming, as he chose to sleep through most of them.

Hello World!

Liam has been opening his eyes up and checking out his new surroundings, so far he seems pleased.

Liam's Here!

Liam arrived on May 2 at 12:55pm. He was 9 pounds and 22 inches long. It was a long one, but he and mom did a great job! After a short stay at the hospital, we were all excited to bring him home, especially Elsa, who is taking to being a big sister with her inherent enthusiasm and sweetness. So far little Liam is as peaceful as can be, and mom and dad are soaking up all the wonder support that we have been getting from our friends and family, especially Nana!
