I'm Eight

We are living in chaos with boxes everywhere but we wanted to take a moment to celebrate Aspen's special day. Here is a pic of her and her gluten free cupcake with a song. We will have a real party when Grandma and Grandpa come to visit us in our new house in Boise. We will be moving this week and are excited to get on the road and on to our new adventures.

Say Cheese

These are the first glimpses of the babies smiles.

Uncle Craig in Rockport

Daren's brother Craig is a helicopter pilot and has been working in Kansas City. He had some time off and so we met in a tiny town called Rockport Missouri. We thought there would be somewhere in the town to eat just a bit off the freeway but we were wrong. I don't think the town had even one stoplight. We went back to the freeway where there was a Subway in the gas station and a McDonald's. Both of those sounded pretty safe, boring and ghetto but safe. There was a restaurant in the back called the Black Iron Grill or BIG for short. That seemed even more ghetto but we let Craig pick and he was up for an adventure. We went in side and it was actually really nice. It was more like a Famous Dave's inside. The food was great and Craig treated us to a fine meal. Thanks Uncle Craig. We miss you.

2 Months

I can't believe how lucky we are to have these precious babies in our home. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to believe I am not just dreaming. We waited so long to have them and now they are finally here and I don't know what we did without them.
