Collage of Pictures

This is our new puppy, Maddie! She is about 3 months old now and she is a yellow lab mix. She has been a wonderful addition to our family.

This was an attempt to take a family picture.

Kristi loves to hold onto Brandon and help him out whenever she can. Such a sweet girl.

Best Friends!

Jumping on the bed!

One of Kristi and Brandon's favorite things to do together is jump on Kristi's bed. They are both becoming more interested in each other and starting to play more often. It is such a joy to watch them.

Bathtime II

A new thing that Brandon loves to do is stand up while holding onto the bath and watching Kristi play in the water. He thinks he is such a big boy! After watching her for a couple of minutes he hops in with her.

They play with the toys together and he loves to "wash" Kristi's hair.

Brandon Swimming

Here are a couple pictures of Brandon swimming with daddy in our backyard. He thought it was pretty fun to splash Kristi.

Just Hanging Out

Here are a few pictures of the kids just hanging out with Grandma. Brandon loves to smile and Grandma was getting a lot of them.

Princess Kristi decided to take a stroll in Grandma's backyard.
