A Puppy!

A baby!


A Birdie!

Sorry, I guess blogging doesn't come naturally to everyone.

A breathtaking bouquet of Dahlias Emily helped Mom Plett pick out for the "new" parents!

We had a grand old time with the Ma and the Pa this past week and it was hard to see them go.

Power Update:

Simon is an angel...

Tommy looks plastic when wet...

Emily loves her new grade 2 teacher and finally "likes school"... Simon sometimes looks just like his big sister did... Tommy doesn't want anyone to remove his helmet... Emily is a little mommy.

Curious, Quiet, Cuddly...we're just cherishing every teeny moment of his teeniness!

This was last weekend.
Wish this was every weekend.
Thanx Krys, Matt,
and Clint for knowing how to make our kids (and us) feel so loved. Our home is yours so come back soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNNY!

YOU PROBABLY THOUGHT YOU'D BE LUCKY TO GET WORMS AND A MEATBALL FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH OUR RECENTLY *ENHANCED* SCHEDULE AROUND HERE. WELL, YOU CAN HAVE THAT AND MORE BECAUSE FOR TURNING 33 I WAS HOPING YOU'D LET THESE GUYS OUTFIT YOU FOR AN AFTERNOON ESCAPE ONE OF THESE DAYS.

Happiness is finding your kids all cuddled up with a good book

Happiness is a one week old baby boy

Hope your third day with us was as wonderful as ours was Simon!

He's going to think about that one.

Thanks Mom,

they're beautiful.

Siiiiigh-mon...we're home, we're smitten.
Thank you soooo much for all the lovely loving comments! I couldn't wait to come home and read the "ooo's and aww's" of my family and friends.
Love Ang

Simon's are forever...

Thanks everyone!

overdue day 4 and looooooooooz'n my miiiiiiiiiiiiiiind when i'm not either watching North and South or poking through a garage sale . Oh yeah, it's getting ugly.

i just realized that steve and i accidently bought stuff that resembled our favorite people...ourselves! ain't that neat?!

Last year, Emily asked Steve to make her a "Tiger Plane" for her 6th birthday (note the tail)! You can tell by her smile that it's extremely special to her.

Kiss the birdie Tom-Tom!

Thanks to my mom's ingenious present to Emily, a scrapbooking kit that includes everything you can imagine, the girls were able to spend literally hours making "Cheyenne and Emily" keepsakes (taking breaks to fly around the yard and stuff in between).
At $2 a piece, Steve couldn't resist buying both unicorn costumes at one of last weekend's garage sales.
