Family photos

Posts will eventually come covering the last few months but until then, here are some family photos. We're moving to Denver next week and wanted to take advantage of Tammy Veenstra's photography skills one last time...

1 yr and 3 yr photos

Tammy Veenstra once again did a great job capturing a few photos...

Claire is 3!

Claire turned 3 in January! I can't believe it! A few of her favorite things: the color orange, cookie and/or doughnut runs with her daddy, watching cartoons on the ipad, cupcakes, Tumble Tots and gymnastics (with no hesitation whatsoever in being left), changing her outfit at least ten times a day, playing in the church nursery, bothering her brother, and Jon, Stef, Sydney, and Lucy (they are characters in almost every bedtime story). She continues to be a giant measuring 39 inches in height and weighing 37 pounds. She celebrated her birthday by having a Dora party at a local gym.

                                                 

                                      

Earlier in January, Evan went to Hong Kong for 10 days for a study abroad class. Although I was apprehensive about being a single parent for that long, it couldn't have gone better. My mom and dad came to stay with us for the first half of his trip, my work craziness subsided for a few days, and we all stayed healthy!

I can't get over how much Eli loves Claire. She continues to maul him, knock him down, pull on his arms and legs, etc., and he still can't seem to get enough of her-especially when she's sleeping. :)

Still behind...Christmas

Christmas day.

My little man is getting so big!

I'm behind...

Here are some photos from the past couple months...

Claire went through a phase where she insisted on sleeping in random places...

I'm not sure who is more obsessed with technology...
