And new family photos!

We finally got family photos taken yesterday, the first since Cole was born. AND, I remember why we don't get family photos more often.... I can't believe how stressful a photo session can be! Everyone is trying to look great, baby is not cooperating, 6 year olds complaining, ugh. However, we ended up with a few good ones so it was all worth it in the end. Here's a sample!

Love to all,

Joy

Long Time No Blog

So we've been MIA since Halloween. School for Mom has gotten in full swing (almost through one semester!) and things have just been generally very busy. Cole is now running instead of barely walking which includes running FROM us! I think this is the beginning of that tricky age of parenting with children who can't yet reason and rationalize (AKA terrible twos!)

We've decided that for Christmas we'd start planning for summer! SOooo.. we talked about it and bought our first camping trailer! WOohoo! We've always loved camping and just can't see roughing it in a tent with very small children (and we've both always envisioned having a camper and eventually a boat as toys!) Here's a couple of photos of it along with a few of Cole running nuts (literally and figuratively! HA)
