Arts and Crafts

Avery is just so much fun! We are enjoying some mama and Avery time while baby brother takes a good morning nap now days. She loves to play with the great arts set sent by the OITS Sunday school class.
She loves to paint and can even draw the letter A now! If you look close at one picture you will see little fuzzy balls in her ears. She called them her "earrings!"

Summer time fun!

Our lucky little ones get to have two summers this year! Here they are enjoying an afternoon by the pool.

10 weeks already!

Our big little guy is already 10 weeks old! He is a lovable 11 +pounds and 25 inches! I am enjoying his smiles and his coos and now squeals. He is a silly little guy who sometimes wakes up from a nap early and when I try to put him back to sleep he just gives me the biggest grins. I think he already figured out that it just makes me smile and laugh and then he knows he can get up.

Sheriff Larson

Don't worry little missy a new sheriff is in town. Put 'em up bad guys.





Ha ha, just kidding!





It's just me!

Strong little dude

Our Larson has impressed us with his strength from day one! The morning after his birth he was already holding up his head for a few seconds! His first week with us he could turn from his back to his side and he started to making cooing sounds!

Welcome to the world little Larson

Larson William Martyn arrived 21 December at 8:15pm weighing 7 pounds 9 ounces and 19.25 inches, we think he actually was longer than this. We were able to come home from the hospital on Christmas Eve and have the present of our whole little family waking up in our home on Christmas morning. Avery has been a super big sis and we are slowly getting the hang of taking care of a newborn again.

Our cuties

Happy Third Birthday Avery Bug!!!

Pole sana!

Last night as Avery was getting ready for bed her and Babe were talking about the day. Babe mentioned something and in very typical Kenyan fashion Avery responded saying "pole sana", which means very sorry. We both cracked up at how 1. she knew to say it and 2. she had perfect timing! Hey at least soon she can start teaching us more Swahili and even more important when it is appropriate to say what.
