Rubber face!

A new nickname for Luiana...rubberface!
Shes at this funny stage where her face looks and feels like rubber. When she smiles you can tug on her cheeks and they're stiff..wierd!. She keeps growing and making us laugh as always. Everyday she brings so much joy into our lives..it's still very surreal. We are so very happy and blessed to have her.

Armageddon..strikes again!

We've just got over the snow situation which I have to say was getting to be a bit annoying actually..when all of a sudden we had torrential rain pour which melted all the snow in the mountains and subsequently severely flooded a few hundred square miles of valley...where we happen to live! Luckily our house is on a hill and we were able to enjoy the new waterfront view.It all happened at work and even though we knew it was on its way I was stupid?loyal enough to go into work...but unfirtunatel by the time I git off there was no way I could actually get home.Thats right the pretty little white, God fearing city of Duvall had become an island. I had to spend the night away from the ladies.

4 months old!

Lucy is months old!. She's getting so big and has started to laugh out loud. She's a little serious in these pictures. I think she's sick of winter..she's alot like her Dad!
We've started adding rice cereal to her milk and she is very happy about that. Sleeping 10 hrs at night once again.
She's very excited for for when Nanny and Grandad come and visit in February!

Ethans Birthday

Ethan turned 8 today and woke up very excited. He has been asking for a pet for ages and since we don't really do animals here due to the asthma and eczema we got him a "fur real" pet chimp. He loves it, has dressed it in one of his t-shirts and treats it like a baby. He is looking forward to his baptism tomorrow now.

Christmas Day

Christmas day was an exciting day with wrapping paper flying and squeals of delight. Rich and I spent ages undoing those annoying twisty fastenings that lock toys into their boxes and clearing up mountains of paper and boxes. We had a great relaxing day at home playing with all the kids new toys and eating lots of chocolate, yum!
