The inseparable sisters.

Posing With Sister

Hannah remains as close to Sarah as possible at all times. Here we suggested a picture with the two special sisters. At that point Hannah plastered a cheesy grin on her face that was impossible to remove with mere words. It turned out cute anyway.

The Chena River

Elisabeth spent a little time with Daddy not long ago at the boat launch near our home. I remember her being very proud that she knew we were at “the Chena River.” Also referred to as “Daddy’s River” because the kids have to cross it … Read More

A typical day with Stephen.

I have glasses?

One day after church, Stephen asked if he could wear my glasses. He seemed to get a real kick out of bounding through the house with them on, and didn’t mind posing for a few pictures either. This series really shows our boy’s personality.

This is one talkative little girl.

Caught Mid-Sentence

Sarah likes to talk. She enjoys interacting, laughing and cooing more than almost anything, with the exception, perhaps, of eating. Here she is having a particularly animated discussion with Daddy.

We know the baby won't get cold!

Holding My Baby

The other day Elisabeth insisted I take a picture while she held her baby. The doll was dressed in three layers of clothing, including a real diaper, doll clothes and a vest that came down to her feet. As you can tell, this made Elisabeth … Read More

Starting some up-time with Mom and Dad.

Awake and Alert

When Sarah is ready to talk and play in the evening, we are usually ready for bed. On this evening she was expecting some serious up-time at 10:45pm. She is very cute, very alert and very responsive at these times…unfortunately, we are not.
