Mel and Pete's Wedding

We had a wonderful time at Mel & Pete's wedding on June 19th. It was a beautiful evening and my sister looked absolutely gorgeous! Here are some pictures that our dear friend Wyman sent from Nevada.

Ethan Reading

It is no surprise that Ethan's favorite song is "Wheels on the Bus." It was definitely Alanna's favorite at age 2, so he probably heard it a gazillion times in utero.

McClelland's Dairy

We took a farm tour of McClelland's Dairy in Petaluma this weekend. It was fun showing the kids where their milk (Clover brand) comes from.

Big Girl

This morning I woke up and heard something rustling around downstairs. Of course my first thought was that our crazy cats were getting into trouble (not unusual). I came down to investigate and found Alanna working on a puzzle on the couch. It was the cutest thing watching her concentrating and working quietly by herself. It struck me that our sweet girl is really growing up. Time definitely flies by, take the time to enjoy the little things.

Ethan is 2!
