Thanks to all our troops, thinking of you today and everyday.

After we took the picture and put her to bed, we realized it's Crystal not Cyrstal:) At that point we didn't feel right about waking her up and taking the picture over again.

the dangerous $1 bin at Target

This is what happens when mommy goes to Target and finds that tub toys are in the dollar bin. Pretty soon there won't be room for Bells.

tub time friends

Every once and awhile I have to remind myself that Bells won't be this little for long. One day she is not going to ask for her cookie monster towel to dry off with or laugh at her blue octopus. Simple items that are cherished every day of the last 4 months will not be around not to long from now. A picture is worth a thousand words.

While on maternity leave, every Friday afternoon Bella and I would go to yoga class. First class, Bella crop dusted the room and pooped on her yoga blanket. Second class she mastered downward dog (after watching Rubs of course.) The local Portland news station came and did a segment on us.

bath tub graduation

No longer using the little girl tub. We've graduated to the medium size tub with a sling.

matching cousins

This is the first of many matching outfits that Pia and Bells will be sporting thru out their lives. Thanks Gramma D!

happy birthday PIA!!

Sophia turned 1 this past weekend and we were fortunate to be there to celebrate. I have a lot more pictures but here's one in her party dress that I couldn't help post right away.
