Ryan's Birthday (30 something!)

Back Row: Alyse, Suzanne, John, Kelly, Chris, Todd

Building the baby's crib

A week after Ryan and I painted the baby's room Makena helped me put together the baby's crib. We are all getting excited for her arrival.

Makena gave his Easter bunny to his baby sister because he thought she would like it.

Hawaii - February 15th, 2007

Makena on his way to Hawaii to visit Grandma and Grandpa. He was very good about letting everyone know he was a "company miner" or in otherwords an unaccompanied minor.

January 25, 2007 - 14 weeks and one day old. 3.5 inches long and healthy as can be. Makena was able to join us for the ultrasound and enjoyed watching his baby brother or sister move around inside mommy's tummy. The baby was very active and demonstrated its thumb sucking ability to his big brother. Apparently Ryan was a thumb sucker until the age of 5. The doctor wasn't able to determine if it is a boy or a girl. Will have to wait another month for the next ultrasound. Baby is due July 25th, 2007. Grandma Lucia's birthday!

Spring Cleaning

We spent an entire day clearing out the garage. 10 hours to be exact. We stored things in the attic and gave a bunch to Good Will. After cleaning out the garage we were actually able to park the car inside.

January 12-16, 2007 California Freezing

By the second day of the freeze, January 13, 2007, overnight lows were in the lower 20s and the temperature in the pond dropped enough to form a layer of ice across the surface. Most of the ice melted over the course of the day but reformed overnight with each subsequent night becoming thicker and thicker. By day 3 the ice measured approximately 1 cm thick.
