One Year Old!

 The weather warmed up for a bit on Jack's January birthday, so we went outside to blow bubbles.  Who cannot love a happy face like his?   And yes, he is walking now!  Within a week or two after his birthday, he finally gained his confidence in walking and he's been struttin' his stuff ever since!  (I'll have to find/take more of him in action in the future.)

 Brooklyn decided to stall and delay bedtime...I mean, she really wanted to serve her parents by doing the dishes and wiping off the table.

 Here's a candid hug of the brothers.  I love the raised eyebrow expression on Jack's face.

 Janel and I are showing off our cute baby boys.  They are only a few weeks apart.

 An edible arrangement Stephen brought home from work on his last day with Scripps.  (See the moving box in the background?)

 Our friends Pete and Rachel.  They are just awesome.

 Here's a quick family photo of us after church on the weekend that my parents visited us.

 Here's a candid shot beforehand.  I liked the background, but not the heavenly spotlight so much.
