Paul at 2 months old:





Thanks for the pictures Aunt Christy!

A couple of weeks ago we had our first nice weather. So the kids and I got to get out of the house. Here we are hanging out in the backyard.

While we were having fun with the hose, this is what Paul did (he's about 1 month old in this picture)...

Saturday we went to a garden show at a park near Sykesville with some friends. Of course I didn't think to get pictures there. But, Laura got her face painted and insisted on taking a picture while on the car ride home. Of course she was asleep by the time we got home...

After she woke up we took a few more pictures.

Here is an up close picture of Paul at 3 days old...

and with big sister, Laura...

Here's the new baby. Paul Jacob, born March 21, 2009 at 2:56 pm.

Laura -- just a few days ago. Nearly 3 and a half years old. Soon to be big sister!

Christmas 2008: Laura -- playing with her new apron and pots. I never knew there were so many possible kinds of soup!

Here's Halloween. Laura was a little sick but she made it out for an hour's worth of houses.

Yesterday, we got to go to a nearby farm for a hayride and pumpkin picking with some friends. Here is Laura posing with our pumpkins, after we got home.

I realize it's been awhile since I posted pictures. About a week ago I tried to get some updated shots of Laura while she was playing with play-doh...

Setting the scene


First attempt at the "cheese" shot.


About the third or fourth attempt

With our digital camera broken, it has been awhile since I've posted pictures. I snagged some photos from my parents computer to fill in the gap. Hopefully we'll get a new camera soon.

First, the rest of the birthday pictures. For Laura's birthday we had dinner at my parents and invited some friends.

Laura loves helping with the leaves at Grandma's house...

In October, we played a set at a music festival. Here's a pic of the family...

And for Halloween Laura dressed as a cowgirl. We went to a couple neighbors' houses in Grandma and Grandpa Stum's neighborhood.

This past weekend we went up to Franklin, Pa. to visit Grandma and Grandpa Corbett. Since Laura turns 2 in a week or so, we celebrated while we were there.

Here are some pictures from vacation in Cayuga. Laura's having more fun than you'd think with that face.

With May came some warmer weather, a new bathing suit and water fun!


Playing in the sprinkler at Grandma and Grandpa Stum's ...

Playing in the wading pool at Grandma and Grandpa Corbett's ...

Brush, brush, brush ...



Saying "cheese", with a face full of spaghetti ... quite the ham.


How come she refuses to go down a slide, but every time she sees one she says "Weeeee!" ?
