Ok, here is my 24 week belly shot.

Once again, Ana wanted to be involved in the pictures. She is giving her little sister a nice kiss and then a sweet hug. Awww.

Ready for your weekly dose of belly? Ready or not, here is the 22 week belly shot.

This morning Sim, Ana, and I loaded up in the car and drove south of Salem to the Enchanted Forest. We met some of our friends who drove up from Bend and we all had a great time as we walked through the Storybook Lane, rode on some fun rides, and even watched “Hansel and […]

This last Wednesday Ana went to her very first Tumbling class.

She took pre-gymnastics last year, but that was a parent participation class. Tumbling she does ALL. ON. HER. OWN. And Ana, my Little Miss Independent, could not be happier about this. Ana was quick to point out that they didn’t do any actual “tumbling” […]
