Happy Birthday, Mara!
I just wanted to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful, talented, wonderful sister Mara!! She has been such a blessing to me these last 16 years and I can't imagine life without her. I couldn't have asked for a better Aunt to my Nick or a better friend to me. I love you, Mar!

#1 Daddy
Picture 1: A few Sundays ago, Nick saw Brad putting his tie on and immediately started saying, "My turn, my turn!" He looked so cute with it on, I had to take a picture. Nick wants to copy everything Brad does!
Picture #2: We have a little play tent that Brad sets up for Nick. Last Friday night, Nick put absolutely everything he could fit in it: a basketball, a kickball, his chair, 7 pillows, 3 blankets, and oh yeah, BRAD! You can see a sliver of his face if you look closely!
Picture 3: "Racing" back to the car after a morning spent at the pumpkin patch. Brad makes a fun game out of everything. No wonder Nick loves him!
Picture #4: Brad helping Nick pet a bunny at a local farm. As soon as the bunny flinched, Nick freaked out and wanted nothing to do with it!

Ode to Daniel
adores him (exclaims "Daniel!" every time he walks into a room), Brad is thrilled to have another guy around who loves sports as much as he does, and I can't get enough of his sense of humor, optimism, strength, and love of people and life. Sorry Mom and Dad, I'm keeping him!
Last week we all drove to Philly where we met my Mom and Mara and stayed with Tim and Kate. Daniel decided he needed a hair cut, or rather his head shaved, and Katie volunteered to do the job. She gave him a mohawk as a joke, and Daniel left it that way for a few days, much to my dismay. I made him put a hat on whenever he was going in public with me! :) Okay, not really. How I love my little bro!
The cheesy picture of him with the Book of Mormon, which I'm sure he appreciates me posting, was taken at my Grandma's just as he was finishing the service mission he served in SLC.

Since we live out of state now, I keep being pestered to post pictures of my pregnant self -- well, here ya go! This picture was taken 2 weeks ago at 5 and half months along. I hit my 6 month mark next week, hurray for baby boy #2!
Nick is 2!

3 months later...
Thanks to Jen for getting me going on this, and for posting my first post and a random picture of Nick (that's kinda blurry and stretched out). What would I do without her?
I wouldn't be surprised if all of you had stopped checking my blog, assuming that I would never post anything on it...but I think I'm ready to begin the adventure! I just took the last hour to look at all of your blogs, and they're so fun! It will probably take me awhile to figure this all out, so be patient -- but know that more posts and pictures are coming!
