Pictures

I should mention that there will be a brief lapse in picture taking. My camera broke a couple of weeks ago and we just recently saved to get a new one. The good news is that the new camera has been ordered and should be here by next week.

Milestones

Not only have Jacob and Ella been hitting some important milestones (like Ella learning 3 words today - hat, see, and cheese) but Jessica and Kris have been doing some pretty fantastic things too. Kris administered the final exam for his first ever teaching job-- Intro to Philosophy. He's enjoyed teaching, but has been frustrated with a handfull of clueless students. Jessica just finished a class in HTML and got an A. She has also met her goal (twice!) of being able to run one mile without stopping. Kinda lame, but ya gotta start somewhere!

Pajama Time

WHOA!

As I was putting Ella down for her nap just now, we felt a huge earthquake. I just checked CNN.com and it's rated at 5.8. Jacob's response was, "Why is it they are shaking my house? I don't like that." We've only felt two other earthquakes since moving to California, so this will be one that Jacob might possibly remember.

Ready to Go!

We've Moved!

Both literally and digitally. To kick off our Ireland trip/move to Texas, we've decided to combine the kids' pictures and stories. Jake and Ella do everything together so separating stories and pictures is close to impossible. This will be our permanent place to post all pictures, stories, and family news-- it's not just a baby homepage anymore! The old pages will stay up for a while more, but will have a link to this, our new site. Enjoy!!!
