HOME!!!!

I know, I know - it's been forever! But, we're finally home and I can blog again! I'm still not at my computer so I can't post new pictures, but, soon and very soon - I promise! I've been back and forth from San Fran and didn't have my camera,or my computer, yada yada - it's been nuts! We're so happy to be back, though! It was a surprise - we thought we'd be down there longer, but last minute they sent us home! well, James is actually in San Luis Obispo right now working the lighting storm damage - but we're technically home! I'll write more and update later....for now, some old pictures. I was just marveling how much our lives have changed in a couple years! the picture with our dog Brody, was right after we got home from the first rotation of being sent to SF 2 years ago! Lots has happened since then!!!!

Almost Birthday Time!

In 2 weeks this little bundle of joy is gonna be ONE!!! I can't believe he was ever this small! or how fast this year's flown by, but I don't remember life before him! So crazy! Max, you're my Happy Thought!!!

Daddy and Max just home from the hospital!

He was 2 weeks old in these pics!

The latest...

Danielle took these at Steve and Kelly's wedding; aren't they great? Max was seriously hamming it up - totally gets that from James, little poser! ;)
Okay, so as of right now, we just found out that James is getting transferred to San Francisco for another month! sheesh! just when we think it's over! But, God knows! So, we're supposedly coming home the beginning of September..we'll see! Always an adventure! Yahoo - I'm up for it!

Sisters and Babies...and more to come?!?!

Havilah, Deborah, Me and our munchkins, Judah, Gabriella and Max all got our pictures taken recently...it was hysterical! Madness and mayhem...mainly from Max! But so fun! Grandma Suzie and Mimi were there, too - it was great! and someone's already working on the next one...Havilah's Pregnant!!! and due in April! SO exciting! Bring on the babies!!!

Almost ONE?!?!

These were taking about 5 months ago! Yes, can you say Baby Gap? I can't believe he's gonna be one next month! Max is a bundle of personality right now, constantly busy, crawling, climbing, standing, and making hilarious faces and making me laugh all the time! It's such a fun stage!

This was supposed to be our last week in the Bay Area, but alas it's not. We're scheduled to be down there til the end of the month, so we'll see. I don't mind - I love the family time we have all to ourselves! but I do miss everyone! I haven't posted pictures in a while cause I've been gone, soon and very soon...

Now, for the Outside!!!

So, we've waited for 3 years to put sprinklers in and landscape our tiny acre and 1/2 ;) and now we're going for it! It's been a work in process and we're still in process, but after planting grass seed and about 200 plus flowers, we're definitely on our way! It's looking so good - I 'll post more after pictures soon! James' Mom and Grandma have been amazing in helping and lending us their incredible knowlege, too! The porch and railing are painting, new trim is up and James finished the front porch/steps and put lattice up around the whole house! phew! we're whooped! oh, and yes, Max was on the front porch supporting us in it all!

more beach pics!

could his feet be any fatter?!?

Max had mouthfuls of sands - yesss!

Girls' Trip and Max

We had such a great time in my little paradise! Tahoe is so significant to me...having spent every summer of my life with my family there, and then to be able to be there with my baby and my mom who's been there every summer of her life...very significant. Max loved the beach and all the attention from the Aunties! Eating sand was exciting for him and we just had fun laughing at him non-stop. It was a great get-away!

Lake Tahoe Watercolor

Carey did these amazing picture of Max and I - isn't the effect so great? I love it!

Goin' to Tay-hoe! Girls' trip (plus Max) I'm so excited! Tahoe is my happy place! I've literally been every summer of my life, and it holds more memories than any other place! Yahooo...catch y'all later!
