Name Cards

My talented and creative friend, Jen is always so good at coming up with beautiful and cost-effective ways to decorate her home. Her latest creation? These adorable name cards. She made three for me and I can't wait to hang them on the kids' walls. Thank you, Jen!

Will's Birthday Interview

Our little Prince turns 4 tomorrow. What joy he brings to our lives! We decided to "interview" him for his big day. He starts out a little camera shy and Jane isn't too happy about this attention on her brother, but it's a good snippet of all things Will.

continued off-tape as Will got camera shy...
"What do you like to do with Grandma Needge?"
Will: "Play"
"What do you like to do with Bubby?"
Will: "Play"
"What's your favorite place to go?"
Will: "Discovery Kids"
"What's your favorite T.V. show?"
Will: "Wild Kratts"
"Who are some of your best friends?"
Will: "Tyler and Evey"
"What are you most thankful for?"
Will: "Dinosaurs"

Joy's 4 month appointment

Joy had her 4 month well-baby check this morning and praise God that she is just that: a well baby. She measured in at 18 lb 5 oz and is 26.5 inches long.
I left Will and Jane with a friend while I took Joy in, but when I found a T-Rex toy in the exam room I took a couple pictures of it to show Will when we got home. He was a little jealous that Joy got to play with it and he didn't. Yes, the dinosaur obsession continues!

Baby Legs

I was looking through pictures on my phone and noticed a pattern. I have taken lots of pictures of Joy's baby legs! Here is a photo progression of her sweet legs...

A Party with a view

We went to a fun party for one of Will's buddys today. An extra bonus was the beautiful view of Mt Si, visible thanks to a sunny and mild mid-50's day here in Seattle. The afternoon was slightly tainted thanks to a Code Brown in the pants by Jane, but we still had a great time.

Oh, the personality and cuteness of our dear Janie Bug
