Talitha

Our friends Jennifer and Noe had their first baby today! Her name is Talitha Kumi Astorga. She weighs 6lbs 15oz and is 19 inches long. She's the sweetest little thing and we are so happy for their new little family! Here are some pics...

Spring Time

So, it's been a while since our last post. The weather has been nice to us and we've been spending more time in our yard. We bought two new trees that we hope to plant this Sunday. In the meantime, here's what's sprouting in our yard...

No, that's not snow on our clematis...

It has been snowing, hailing and sleeting for the past couple of days. Hard to believe it will be Spring in 11 days!
