Parker loves you!

For those of you that didn't get our valentines email (a day late because stupid comcast sucks and our internet was down), here it is! We don't get to see any of you nearly as much as we'd like! Lots of love!

Parker in the car

I just wanted to share this short little video of Parker. She's starting to talk so well. Toddler words can be so fun. Just don't mind my singing.

Our trip to Maui

So we finally got a chance to post some photos from our trip. We had the most amazing time and didn't want to come home. It was beautiful, sunny and 78 degrees every day. It was so hard to come back to 10 degree weather and 2 weeks of snow. Parker LOVED the sand, and the water, and the ocean... She's still talking about the ocean. What a beautiful and amazing place. The road to Hana was nothing like we've ever seen. There were waterfalls around every corner and huge cliffs down to the ocean. We went to the seven sacred pools and hiked up to the top. Parker kept talking about the waterfalls... "I hear it! I hear it!" It was a very needed and revitalizing vacation and I think we're going to have to go back every year.

Here are a few favorites. If you want to see all of our photos go to:

Snowy Days

Mmmm! Snow tastes good!


Parker's first snow angel!


Sweet Lucy. She's such a snow dog!

Ahhh... finally some walls are up!

We're currently building a house for ourselves in the Avenues. It's been a long process but we've finally started. Not just started, but actually have the makings of a house. Check out our progress photos.

Rough plumbing...

Catching up!

I have some major catching up to do on my blog. I haven't posted anything new since October! We have lots of fun pictures to share and Parker has grown up so much since then. Her hair is so long and shaggy now (we're in the process of growing out her bangs but she won't let me put in a "clippy"). Here are a few recent photos:
Sweet sunglasses!

And this is Parker trying out everything she saw at Babinskis. Looks like a comfy spot to lay. She even found someone to snuggle with.

Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins to get excited for Halloween. Parker decided to decorate her belly as well as the pumpkin.
