I couldn't resist.

I got my camera back the other day and I couldn't resist taking these pictures of Bradan after his bath. They are pictures that I will bring out when he is 16 to embarrass him on his first date. Oh wait I mean 35.
Update on Bradan
He is a happy healthy 8.5 month old that we truly adore. Bradan loves to eat, jump and dance, is starting to drink juice out of a sippy cup and any day now will be crawling forward instead of going backwards. He still only has the two bottom teeth but the top two are starting to give him troubles. His sister is still the best person in his world and he loves to sit with her and play. Most of the time she enjoys it too. We hear a lot of "Bradan stop slobbering on my toys." He is still sleeping 11 hours at night but his naps during the day are no longer than an hour. Pat-a-cake and peek-a-boo are his favorite games to play and he loves to laugh when you are being silly with him.

It has been awhile!

Boy the last two months have flown. Between going to the Tri-Cities for Rachel's wedding to Shelby' s dance performance to getting ready for and celebrating our Christmas to Bradan getting his first two teeth to making the trip to Kansas for the holidays to both kids getting the flu we have not had the time or energy to update the blog. And then on top of it all Quinn's camera broke when we were in Kansas so we are now waiting on it to get fixed. So be prepared for a lot of pictures to catch up on our lives.Shelby with her class and Miss Katie before her dance performance on December 12th. Shelby is the one on the far left.Bradan's First Christmas and Shelby's First Christmas of understanding who Santa Claus is. This was our family Christmas in Washington on December 13th. Shelby enjoyed opening the gifts and of course all the paper Bradan got a hold of went straight to his mouth.
Quinn and the kids made it back to Kansas on December 19th. Stu made it on December 23rd which was right when the snow hit. Shelby had a blast in the huge drifts of snow in Bern. We were able to stay a week in Bern and a week in Wakefield. Rachel and Chaz had a ceremony and reception at the Clay Center Country Club on December 2nd but we don't have any pictures because that was after the camera broke. Here are some pictures from Shelby and Bradan's Christmases with the grandparents.
Notice Shelby's favorite Christmas gift this year - Her Spiderman jammies.
