(She's still content because she hadn't gotten her shots yet!)

Not very happy about her first bath.

Where did all that hair come from?!

(He was nice to the baby in Mom's arms, but still unaware that

she will be coming home with us!)

Pretty in pink and already a daddy's girl!

On The Mend

We had our first emergency room visit a couple weeks ago, and I wouldn't recommend it! Although it could have been worse, and more serious, it still was a little frightening and tugged at my heart strings. Cade got a little too close, a little too quick, to Grandma and Grandpa's dog, and he snapped at his lip. After we got Cade into the car and calmed down a little bit, with a paper towel and bag of frozen peas on his lip, he was quite the trooper. The nurses kept saying how good he was and grandpa's iPod was a life saver. As long as he had "Angry Birds" to play, he was just fine. Brett was on a trip, but thank heavens for phones. We decided to have him put under anesthesia to receive the stitches and bless his heart, he handled everything like a champ. (Sorry the pics are a little grainy, they're from my phone.)

Getting stitches (6 in all)

This is while we were waiting for the anesthesia wear off. He looked around the room for a little while, then his lips slowly formed the shape of an "O." His eyes got big and wide, and he slowly said, "Whoooooa!" The nurse, Grandpa, and I started laughing - he couldn't have summarized the night more perfectly!

Happy Anniversary!

We celebrated our 6th anniversary this last month - wow! 6 years! It's flown by, and to commemorate, we flew to McCall, ID for the weekend! It was so nice to spend some one-on-one time together and visit the little town that we have driven through so many times, yet never get to enjoy. We stayed at the Shore Lodge, which we highly recommend (if it's the off-season so that it's not so pricey)! We look forward to many more years and adventures together!

Waiting for the town shuttle

(it was a convenient since we didn't have a car, and free!)

Overlooking the FROZEN lake!

No, it wasn't a tropical destination, but still fun and beautiful nonetheless!

What a handsome captain!
