Eleanor and her Uncle Andrew (and his glasses) : computer genius-mountain biker-4.0 student-musician-gourmet chef-etc.etc. Yes, he really is all of those things, and more. His gourmet chef side came out last night when he made us a fantastic chicken alfredo dinner....there was a small kitchen incident during which we almost lost our lives, but hey, that's the price you pay for good food!




William and Uncle Andrew. And William by himself, because he is so cute! He has found his fists, as you can see.

Still Alive!

My neglected blog has had some of you wondering if I had vanished off the face of the earth...so here is the proof I'm still here! We have been busy, but sure enjoying this sweet stage of life! Will is changing so fast, but his happy laid back spirit has not changed! He is really delightful. I continue to have so much fun with Eleanor, as she is able to do and communicate and "help" more and more! (She also is loving her little brother!) She has definitely reached a new stage in her development - one in which her sinful little heart is becoming more evident! Todd and I pray daily for wisdom as parents, as we strive to both rebuke and train Eleanor in righteousness, and for our children's salvation. I am so thankful for the love of our Heavenly Father...being a parent has helped me grasp a little more of that love. Well, here's what you all really want: a few pictures!

It had been a few years since Todd got to sit on Santa's lap! This was at the Bass Pro Shop in Denver, where Eleanor had a great time with her Daddy and Grandpa looking at fish and all sorts of game!

Nordic Will



This was too cute not to post! Will had his month checkup this past week and is 10 lbs. 10 oz. and 22 inches long - growing so well! I am so thankful. He has such a sweet little personality and it is fun to see him developing every day! I love being at home with my two sweet babies. Eleanor continues to be such a helper!

Coming soon, I promise...pictures from when our families have visited!

Eleanor is really into stickers right now!!


This was our first snow, the weekend after William was born. Eleanor had a brand new jacket and it was a little "stiff" - she was pretty cute walking around in it! Walking in the snow made her a little tentative....holding Mama's hand helped!


Daddy and Will having some man time!

Will is 4 weeks old!



Time is a flyin'! Our little guy is growing so fast. We love him so much!
