Our Latest and Greatest

Brooklynn and Ian had their first official haircuts a few weeks ago. Brooklynn loved it because she got to watch a Dora video. It was a little touch and go for Ian at first. I include this picture because Aunt Betsy thinks crying baby pictures are cute.
Afterwards . . . happiness is being able to ride in the car at the grocery store.

Brooklynn got a bike!

Ian went for his first ride in the bike trailer!
Brooklynn finally went poo-poo on the potty! To celebrate she got her much anticipated stickers and then stacked them on top of each other.
John's parents came out for a long weekend and all the Texas siblings met in San Antonio. We had a great time at Sea World--even in the cold! Below: Boni with Skyler, John and Ian, and Phil and Ally. (Thanks, Jana--I forgot to take pictures so I stole these from you!)
Me and Matty.
At a rest stop on the way home. As adventurous as Brooklynn is--she was not excited about this climb.

A new dresser for Ian means a new house for Brooklynn! She reminded me of many construction clients I'd dealt with in the past--when we were finished and the door wouldn't close just right, she said she wanted a new house!

Ian is now nine months old! This is an exciting milestone for me--it means I've now had him longer than anyone else. We lubba you, Inee!
Ian has just started crawling and pulling himself up on things. To stay limber he has also taken up yoga.
Today we decided at the last minute to have a picnic at the Williams Tower--one of my favorite places in Houston--with the Bonds and Careys .

We miss you guys! I can't believe Ian is 9 months old and very very cute, if I must say. We love you!

You are doing so much better at blogging Emily...I'm so proud of you :-)! So many cute pictures, but I especially love Ian's haircut and Brooklynn peeking out the window of her house (and that is quite a house by the way)!

Phew . . . you guys have been busy! Sea World does look cold, maybe not as cold as here though (it snowed again the night before last).
I love the house, just tell Brooklynn she'll have to deal with the door--I know, blame it on Max :) But, really, you even painted flowers on it, and curtains in the windows--very cute!
And I love Ian's yoga pose, he is awesome at downward facing dog . . . miss you all!!

I'm replying to your comment on my blog. Um, yea I think I feel semi-competent to cut a baby's hair but Johnny's hair was out of control and never looked good. Unless I could buzz it. I take it back, never ask me to cut Ian's hair, unless you LIKE mullets. In that case, send him on over!
