Grandma, Grandma, Grandma!

This is a great shot we took of our kids after the parade and the Lena Fall Festival.

I think our kids are so lucky to have so many Grandma's to love and spoil them!

This is a photo we will treasure forever!

What a big girl!

This is a great example of how much more Mila is beginning to be awake and look around. Because she was five weeks early, it has taken her a while to come around and really "wake up" and look around.

She is now starting to smile once in a while in response to voices and faces. I will post a smile shot the moment I capture one!!

Mila is such a lucky girl!

This is just an example of how things are for Mila when we visit my mom. No one is ever very far away from her because everyone wants to hold her.

Mila and Zavier are so lucky to have Grandma Carol and Aunt Lou to spoil them!!

Fall Festival 5K

This is a picure of Jared's (and Jeremy's) fans after the Lena Fall Festival 5K race. We were all there to cheer on Jared and his brother.

Jared came in second overall in the race with a super impressive 18 minute and 11 second time. What a speed demon!!

Jeremy also knocked a couple of minutes off his time from last year.

Zavier is really starting to enjoy Daddy's races - I don't even have to tell him to say go, daddy, go anymore - he just does. We are looking forward to next race this coming Sunday. Jared, Jeremy and Steve will run together for the second year running. I guess Jared's healthy habits are rubbing off on the fam!! Good luck to all 3!

Like Father Like Son

Grandma Carol has a big boy bicycle at her house and Zavier couldn't wait to get ahold of Daddy's pump and "fix" the bike. It was by far one of Jared's proudest moments as a dad so far and I agree it was so sweet to see him imitate his dad. The last picture is a well deserved moment after the repair for the "twins."

Mila's 6 week pictures

So, we got Mila's 6 week pictures taken and I wanted to share them with you all. They aren't anything too exciting, but they are pretty cute none the less. I will be posting some snap shots of both kids soon!

My first entry

I am so excited to have started a blog spot for all our friends and family to keep updated on what we have going on. I will be adding photos of our family very soon!! For those of you who haven't seen Mila in a while - you will be amazed at how much she has grown. Zavier is the best big brother and Jared and I are so happy now that our family is complete.
