Raspberries!

Amanda spent her day trying to learn to do the "raspberries".  She is getting closer.  More importantly, here is what we accomplished --Amanda sticking her tongue out in imitation of mommy and daddy.

Lots of learning going on in our house!

Happy New Year and Happy 5 months!

 The kids were very expressive and conspiratorial on New Year's Day/babies' 5 month birthday.  Here is my happy (as long as he is full) baby, Matthew:

 Wesley got into the act.  The three conspiring ~

Christmas Morning

 We made it home from Tucson in time for Christmas morning.  Wesley had a blast opening his gifts!

 And had just as much fun playing in the boxes!

More from Tucson

We got to do some sight seeing while in Arizona.  We visited Mount Lemmon.  We started out at the bottom of the mountain, where it was dry, hot desert~

We drove up to the top, where it was cold and wet.  Wesley got to experience snow for the first time!

Then he and Brendan went on a desert hike.

 Daddy went, too --

 They saw a wacky cactus!

 Then Wesley got to ride a camel with mommy:

Road Trip!

We took a road trip to Tucson, Arizona to visit some family for the holidays.  Here we are, ready to roll!

 We visited with gummy!

 And cousin Brendan - he and Wesley became fast friends!

 Matthew was not a fan of the car seat.

But I could occasionally get a smile.

 Amanda was always serious.

 Wesley, not so much.

 Here is a shot of all of the young cousins!

 Stay tuned for more shots from our trip!
