2 Babies and a Wedding

You might not care unless you were there, but here are some pics of the wonderful wedding of our fabulous friends, Royce and Heather. It's not very often you get to support both the bride and the groom. And they're definitely winning the Christmas letter this year. The rest of you better step it up!




So good to see all of you!
And...since I know you are dying to see-here's some current pics of A and B--

That blob on the right is A's head btw. Do you think they need more room?

We Bought a Present for the Children

...and by children-I include Ryan.




  • 2004 Ford Expedition- Eddie Bauer
  • 4 wheel drive
  • tan leather interior
  • sun roof
  • 8 seats
  • back seats fold down with touch of button
  • front and side air bags
  • dual temp control
  • adjustable petals
  • steering wheel control of music and temperature
  • 6 CD changer
  • 25,000 miles
  • garage door opener sync
  • running boards
  • rear temp control
  • dual sun visors
  • keyless entry
  • hitching capability
  • and most importantly...chrome exhaust pipe

I did leave a few things out because I don't want anyone to be too jealous. And for those of you who wanted us to get a mini-van because you were worried about the gas mileage, height and ability to get car seats in and out-well, I guess you'll just have to come camping with us sometime.

Don't Bet on It

Our kitchen, Sunday, 3pm: (names will not be used to protect the ignorant)

Spouse A opens dishwasher to pull out cereal bowl. A fumble ensues followed by an unbelievable kick save before bowl reaches the floor. "Did you see that amazing save?" exclaims said person.
Spouse B smiles and nods but is not that impressed. "It wouldn't have broken from that height anyway."

A: "Yeah right. It's chip-resistant, not chip-proof."

B: "Go ahead, drop it. Let's see if it breaks. I bet it doesn't." It took about 3 more "I'm serious go ahead and drop it" looks before Spouse A holds the bowl at counter level and lets go:

B calmly stands, reaches for the broom, cleans up, then reaches for a new bowl from the dishwasher. "Let us never speak of this again."

"Hi Family"

This is who we spent Easter with. There is no use talking about how wonderful these people are because it wouldn't do them justice. But I do have to say that they better enjoy the attention now, for soon they will not be "our favorites."

Ways I know that Ryan is excited about the babies:
1. He is appalled if I am watching a birth on tv when they only have one baby. "What's so special about them?" He retorts.
2. His greeting for the day is no longer, "Hey, Wife." Rather it goes something like this, "Hi Family. It's good to have you with us today."

I agree. It is good to have our family (any of them) with us. And I promise to post something soon that has nothing to do with babies (we just have to get a life first).
