Bruises, bumps and babies

Brady has really started crawling and standing lately so with that comes falls. As you can see in the picture, he has a nice big shiner above his left eye. He's such a tough little guy as that big bump doesn't seem to bother him.
He is a ball of energy, this child hits the ground running from the moment he wakes up! I've got my work cut out for me when it comes to chasing him around and keeping him entertained. I will say that Brady has the best demeanor ever- he is always in a good mood and is laughing, dancing and chattering nonstop. This pic is worth a thousand words!
Do we have a future golfer on our hands?
The brother and sister pair. Brady would "pet" Avery while I was taking their picture but as soon as I would look away the gentle touch would suddenly turn into a smack...sneaky little boy.
My future high tech junkies.
My beautiful babies. I'm a very lucky girl to have Brady, Avery and Bryan in my life...I love the three of you more than you will ever know.

The New Addition

Avery with her Great Grandpa Quinn.
Avery Quinn Mink- 8lbs 4oz and 20in long. Born 7/11/09 at 7:57pm. Miss Avery came 15 days early (thankfully!) to us on Saturday. I labored most of the day at home and decided around 4pm that I should head to the hospital, much to our surprise I was 6cm dilated so the labor moved extremely fast. My parents were on their way in the car so I called in Stacie as my backup. Thank you Stacie for helping us bring Avery into this world. It was such a great experience for Bryan and I and I was happy to share it with my wonderful friend.



Our arrival home from the hospital. Brady stole the socks right off of her feet and started chewing on them. So far he has shown very little interest in her.

4th of July and a little break dancing

Trying to get a picture of the boys together was difficult- this is the best I could do. Below are a few pics of Grant showing off his best break dancing moves, so cute!
