The kids are home! We are so glad to have them back–our house was way too quiet without them. (But it is way too messy with them:) Nat, Michael and Jack flew the kids home on June 30th, then they stayed over the 4th of July. We had such a great time with them here….
Happy One Month Birthday to Mr. Blake! He has been such a good baby so far. We had about 10 days of fussiness where we thought we might have another little Halle on our hands, but as soon as I cut ALL dairy and ALL chocolate (boo) from my diet he seems to be doing…
When my Mom and Dad left Colorado they took the kids with them for 10 days! What a wonderful gift to me. I have so enjoyed my time just relaxing and cuddling with Blake. I’m just holding him as much as my tired arms can stand, because I know once Halle and Josh get back…

After nine LONG months he’s finally here! Blake was born Tuesday, May 26th at 11:38 am. Unlike Linsey and Megan, it was quite uneventful. (But that’s the way we like it!) It was a scheduled induction, so we arrived at the hospital at 6am and got all checked in. They hooked me up to the…
