Alexander and Sierra's journey...

February 12th, 2012!!!!! Steve and I met just about nine years ago... amazing to think it's been "that long". The journey we share together has been one of peaks and valleys and growth. Today as we hung out while the kids were sleeping, (both napped at the same time... hooray!) I told him that we could have 12 kids by now! Having both Alexander and Sierra (and Titus) is incredibly awesome. We're a busy crew and get to experience so much more in life with them by our sides. Just this morning we went in to Sierra's room and found her turned 180 degrees in her crib. And Alex has been waking up from nap time singing songs... usually Rory & the Racing Car or Rain Rain Go Away. Love it! Titus continues to be our protector/watch dog boy and we're wondering what the four hour trip up to Seattle to visit Uncle Jon and Gramma will bring him. He hasn't been in the car that much lately, with the exception of going for a nail trim-vet visit. Another thing that Alex is a big fan of is watching "people work on houses". We like to watch the show Holmes Inspection and House Hunters... (both kid friendly). Alex has been using his tools to look for 'water damage' in the walls around our house and uses his flashlight to inspect appliances, vents, etc. It's a kick! Sierra likes to turn her neck as we're feeding her so she too can see tv. She's such a smiley baby and loving more and more tummy time, and is enjoying chewing on her hands and toys. On Friday she will be five months old! Here are some pics from yesterday. With no rain, we've been outside a bit more. Alex had fun putting a little "Christmas tree" (branches) in his wheelbarrow from Donna and Richard- he loves that thing! And Sierra snuggled with me to keep warm. And T-man of course, loved to run around and keep tabs on all of us.
