Darren's baptismal outfit is the same one Tim wore when he was baptized 26 years ago!

Rice Cereal!!!

Darren enjoyed a bowl of rice cereal for the first time today. He seemed to really enjoy it and did really well using a spoon for the first time. He finished all but about two bites and didn't even spit any out while we were feeding him, I don't think we'll get that lucky when he starts fruits and vegetables. We took tons of video but it was pretty uneventful, just Darren eating cereal like he had done it everyday of his life. So I'll post pictures instead. Enjoy!

great pics.

For those of you who do not know, my stepfathers dad is a photographer. He gets the most amazing shots of Darren (and all of us too). Thank you so much Manny for always having your camera handy! I love this series of Darren at the baptism!

Happy first Father's Day Tim!

Darren took Tim to the Giants game today and of course they brought home the win.

Happy first Father's Day Tim. You are such an amazing and loving Father and Husband, hope you enjoyed your day. We love you!

Arizona trip

We had such a great time in Arizona, I'm so glad I made the trip. The heat was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, me and D both did really well with it.
Carly made the trip so much easier for us by letting us use her car seat so I didn't have to lug mine around the airport. She also brought out at tons of little guy toys to keep Dare entertained. Thanks so much Car!

Ava's birthday party was so fun, she is such a good little girl. The house was decorated with Sponge Bob decorations and she would point to them and say "Bob?", it was adorable! She got tons of toys and seemed to love every moment of her party.
I wish they lived closer =( It was a short trip but so worth it for me to get to catch up with Carly and let our babies play together.
