Here are the family photos from a couple of weeks ago when Jon and Emily Beaty (http://www.beatyphotography.com) met us at a local church and took outdoor family photos as well as Everett’s 6 month old photos.  We are thrilled with the way they came out!  We love Jon and Emily.

The previous post is Everett’s 6 month photos from the same session.  Let us know if you want any printed copies—we have full rights to print them ourselves and the Beatys also have an online printing service available.

Steph took the kids to the park yesterday afternoon to play with some other kids from the playgroup; when I arrived home from work the weather had become colder and since she had already been outside for a long time, I told her we would stay inside and play instead of going back outside and jumping on the trampoline.

She broke out the “No, not fair!” on me, which I’ve never heard her say before.  She’s known the words for a long time but never actually used them.  Steph and I both had to stifle a chuckle because it was pretty cute, despite the context.  She’s definitely a 3 year old!

Everett has recently started really enjoying his Redskins mobile.  He’ll lay in his crib and watch them and grin as they spin around.  Thanks Reb, Vicki, and kids!

A couple of days after our two-day ice storm we had nice enough weather to play outside; go figure.  So Emma and I spent the morning in the front yard and driveway playing with all the various outdoor toys she hadn’t been able to play with in a while.  We jumped rope, played basketball and soccer, threw Frisbees, hit plastic golf, drew on the sidewalk, dug in the dirt, and rode her car and tricycle.  Later we walked up to feed the ducks at my office.

This is the first time it’s been nice enough outside for her to try out her tricycle helmet she was given for Christmas.  It fits great and she loves it!  I just need to tighten the straps a bit.  She did really well for a while, both pedaling and steering.
