What? I haven't posted for a long time? Shoot, why didn't anyone tell me? My apologies to friends and family who have loyally checked in with nothing interesting or entertaining in return for their efforts. You all know how it goes right?-the holidays hit and you're too busy to post, then January sinks in and you have nothing jolly to post about. With that said, the following entry may be a liitle hum-drum apart from a small bit of news worthy information-we're expecting baby #2 in September! We're really excited to add another member to our family, and I am beyond relieved to be out of the wretched first trimester.

Anywho, we're getting accustomed to our new residence-meeting great people. Brandon is very busy in medical school, so we try to soak him up when he's home...and Calvin and I try to be creative with our time while dad's gone.

We play a game called "Who can mess up/clean up the house the quickest". Calvin is the reigning champ...closely followed by Brandon.

Calvin has recently exhibited his sensitive side with stuffed animals-until now, his interests have really only included bikes and balls...it's nice to see that the tough guy has a soft side.

We've also been learning new skills-like dental care.

Finally, Calvin has shown much creativity and financial responsibility making toys out of trash-this styrofoam block makes an awesome chair-which Cal devised all by himself! let's hope it stays a chair and

not toilet.
