Where Does it Hurt?

Between the picture above and the one below, which one hurts more?... The one above. Our dear friends, Cam and Janelle, are driving (as I type) out to Austin and they're not coming back. Although I know and trust that this is where God is leading them, I am going to miss them SO much. They have had such an amazing impact on not only Gabe's and my lives, but also Andrew's.

As for this picture... this is what happens when big kids play with little kids' toys. As Cam and Janelle's party was winding down, my friend, John, and I had some races around the room ... in Andrew's tunnels. It was quite exciting, but also a little painful... I beat him, by the way. :)

Andrew and Justin's version of the race. You can see a great video of it at the bottom.

Andrew loves "blue bunny" candy. We introduced him to it at Easter and he hasn't looked back... Although, this is his last bunny.

Keira is officially out of her swaddle! We were wondering how it would happen. It was on a HOT night and she started crying after about an hour of sleep. I took the swaddle off, placed her back in the crib, and voila!

Leila came to visit and got MAJOR giggles right away from Keira.

She's getting strong!

Doesn't he look sweet?

Our last girls' nite out with Janelle. We went to Cheesecake Factory at about 8:00 and didn't leave until after midnight. By the way, these are the girls in my small group... Me, Amy, Janelle, and Rachelle. I love these girls!

Here's the video of Andrew and Justin's race. Justin is 5, by the way. :)

Doctor Andrew

"That's funny!"

Won't You Sing With Me?

I like both of these pics... for no reason in particular. (Note: For those of you who think Keira's eyes are brown becuz you only see her in pics, click on the pic below and think again!)

Although I've heard Andrew sing his ABC's much more accurately than this, I think this may be one of his cutest renditions.

Laughs

For some reason, I find this absolutely hilarious.

Our little chubsterette.

We got to go to my mom's house this past weekend. We had a short, but fun visit with her and ELM.

Our friend, Sarah, got married on Saturday. It was so good to see her and her family. Gabe and I are very close to them even though we don't see them very often.

What an amazing wedding site, huh? It was gorgeous and perfect weather too.

The father-daughter dance. If you look towards the back, you can see Gabe and Keira.

Keira outgrew her bassinet and is now in the crib. Andrew helped Gabe put it together.

Keira loves it!

Andrew gets a sticker each time he goes potty. Look at this shirt! It's covered in stickers... kinda hard to see, but they're there! He's doing so well.
Andrew loves the Muffin Man song and so we made special blueberry muffins the other day.

He's an excellent baker!

And very proud too.

Keira's first laugh!!! (yesterday) This is one of my favorite firsts. The crazy part is right before this, Gabe and I were talking about when we thought she would laugh for the first time. Within minutes, she started laughing! Luckily, I had the camera close by.
