Portraits!

We had a groupon for Portrait People at the mall (If you haven't signed up for groupon yet, use this link to sign up and when you pay for your first deal, we get $10! We've gotten some amazing deals from it-this cost $18 and was a $144 value!) and decided to take the kids tonight when buying Zaphira her first pair of real shoes. Here are some of the highlights of the session. I'll put all the pics on the cd when I send it out.

delay in sending out

I had hoped to have the CDs done and in the mail this week, but unfortunately, I spend the last week going from the ER to doctors. I'm feeling better, but still need some recovery time, so it may be a few weeks before you see the CDs. I'm also really behind on party planning for her birthday here with friends, so sorry about the delay!
Here's a cute pic in a swimsuit that Pinky bought!

I'm only uploading a few pics here, because in the next couple of weeks, I hope to mail cds out to everyone so you can see all the pics. There are a lot of great ones! We had a wonderful time, and hope everyone else did as well. We made it home with no issue, and the kids are happy to be home and relaxing with all their new toys.

Tami, Brian, and Tanner visited this weekend. Zanthias was very excited, while Zaphira was a little shy at first. It was great fun for everyone! Zanthias was even able to master their names.

You're invited!

Sorry for the delay-here's what we've been doing all month! We've been trying to get outside a lot more. We've started a garden, complete with what (we hope) will be a pea tepee with flowering groundcover inside for the kids to play in.
He has added some new words-water, bye poo, super Z, and robot.
Zaphira is walking faster and faster and will soon be running, I'm sure. She is trying to talk, and has made her first two signs (milk and more) Drew has been super busy at work, getting home late and having late calls every night =( The kids and I have been going on lots of playdates and excursions.
We were going to have Zanthias in a preschool program this summer, but the teacher fell through, so we're poking around to see what classes and things are available. We were all sick for a couple of weeks, but finally feeling better.
