CJ's getting bigger

At his 2 month check-up CJ tipped the scales at over 15 pounds. He is filling out quite nicely if I do say so myself. Here are some pictures of him. I love the feet photo. I realize these pictures don't do him justice so I'll be taking more and posting them later.

Fun in the Florida Sun

This past weekend I took the two kids to Florida with my parents. The kids were really well behaved on the flight, and Emily loved the beach. Here is some footage of her on her second day at the beach. She had even more fun on the first day. We collected seashells (Emily took some to preschool today for show-and-tell), played in the surf, and waded in the water. While we were in the water Emily told me "the waves are rocking us".



I was able to get a few cute pictures of the kids.

CJ's Blessing

We had the opportunity to bless CJ on May 4, 2008...his daddy's birthday. This was a special treat for him (Chris)...after all Liz got to share her birthday with Emily so it was only fair that Chris share his with CJ. We were pleased to share this experience with much of our family and many friends as well (see pictures). Unfortunately not all of our family and friends could make it, so here are some photos for those of you that were not able to attend.
Most said it was a beautiful blessing. Afterwards, much of the extended family got up and bore their testimonies; both Liz and Chris bore theirs...we were almost able to get Emily to say something as well but she got shy at the last moment. After the meeting we took a bunch of pictures at the chapel and then proceeded home where everyone was treated to a nice meal.

Playtime

Who knew these infant mats were big enough for two.
