Miss Maya Goes to Washington (State)

Last week we traveled to Washington to visit family and friends. It was a crazy whirlwind tour, but amazing as always to see everyone. Hopefully next time we can stay a while longer.

Elwha Dam Hike

Maya's a happy traveler.


Meeting Uncle Andrew and Allison.


Fun times with Uncle Geoffrey, Uncle Greg, and Markie.


Logan LOVES drums and was captivated by
Uncle Geoffrey's mad skills and cool drum kits.


Maya loves Papa.


Grandpa is a really great builder!

Morning snuggle with Grandma.

Hmm...still working on staying up long enough for a picture

One of Logan's favorite animals at the zoo :-)

These two snuggle up every single morning

Logan is very into being like Daddy these days

I'll figure out this staying upright thing soon...I hope!

February

February was rugged. Logan and Maya both had ear infections and Logan decided to up the ante and get pneumonia as well. On the other hand, we got to hit up Yosemite for the long weekend with Tia (Ariel), MoeMoe (Jereme), and Orion. The weather was glorious and Logan got to ski with Daddy for the first time. 

Pneumonia = no bueno. For anyone.

Seriously? You both need to be held AND dinner needs to be made?!?!

Logan learns the Super Bowl ropes from Uncles Tim and Mike.

Bright eyes


Logan's first time skiing

Thanks for the hand, Dad!

Maya's first trip to Yose!


Maya: One Month





January

A new year. Daddy went back to work and we are all starting to figure this whole thing out. 


A girl can't let a little baby acne get her down!

Feelin' the love!

Daddy and Logan work in the yard together for hours...

"Look, Mom! Maya's a beautiful butterfly!"

Floor time

Say whaaa?!?!

These two are gonna get into lots of trouble...er...have lots of fun together!

Catching Up - December

Clearly it's been a long time since we updated the blog. I think Maya was born the week after our last post :-) Hopefully keeping up will be easier now that we're in a good little groove. I think we'll do some highlights from each month and see how that goes. We are so blessed and busy...and excited to get this thing current!

December: Li'l Maya Wren was born on December 5th. She weighed in at a dainty 9 lbs. 2 oz. and was 22 inches long - bigger than brother! Atta girl! Very alert and calm, she wakes up only once or twice a night and nurses right back to sleep. Logan is already taking on the roles of older brother, fierce protector, and teacher. He loves him some Baby Maya!

That little birthing adventure was rough on my sensitive skin!

Logan loves holding Maya...for about 10 seconds.

Such sweetness!

The admiration and love between these two is already unreal.
