6 Weeks!



Hard to believe, but Lydia is 6 weeks old today! She's doing great -- gaining weight & length and becoming more vocal.

new swim shirts



As extra protection against the sun, we got swim shirts for the boys. Not sure if it comes out clearly in the picture, but Nate has camo sleeves and new camo trunks.

Jane's Birthday




We celebrated Janie's birthday today with dinner and cake.

Melanie and Lydia


backyard (for Joyce)

This is a shot from near the pool fence looking to the back of the side yard with the pool. You can see the hot tub on the left side. The rocks on the ground really "finished" this area.

Shot from the back of the yard. You can see the hot tub better in this picture, and also the the grill and our outdoor table.

This is the other side of our yard. We had the flagstone laid last year, but it wasn't mortared down. We had it mortared in recently, and love the finished product. Rock will be down in this area very soon.

family visit







My mom and sister-in-law swooped in last week to help out after Lydia's birth. I was thrilled to have them here, and I know our entire family was as well. My mom prepared meals for us the entire week and made sure we were all well-fed and hydrated! In addition to food, there was lots of fun in the pool, singing, baby-holding, playing, movie watching and cleaning. I was able to rest, enjoy my meals, get my hair cut and just have a nice time with my mom & Kelly.

Colin & Nate loved having them here and showing them their swimming ability and sharing some of their favorite movies.

I am very thankful for both of them taking time out of their busy lives to come and work in Arizona :)

pool fun






I think everyone enjoyed being able to take a dip in the pool each day, and I know the boys were thrilled to have Grandma and Aunt Kelly to play with in the pool.
