Baby Bliss

I am so in love with West these days that I must spend half the day just holding him and smiling at him. He has such a quiet and content little spirit and loves to just sit and watch all the action. He hardly cries or fusses unless he is hungry or tired. And he's really smiling these days which just makes us all adore him even more. I never knew I could feel so much love for a little boy, but watch out - a new man has stolen my heart!
Here he is at 2 1/2 months old. Isn't he just the most precious thing?

Mira's Latest Piano Piece

Mira has been taking piano lessons since September and has a wonderful teacher, Tracie. Tracie also homeschools and has been a great teacher to Mira and a good friend to us. Here is Mira playing Allegro by Joseph Hayden. Tracie not only teaches how to play the music but also the history about the piece and the composer as well as music theory. Mira has enjoyed learning about Hayden's life the last week as she worked on this piece.

Our Week

Grandpa Darell and sweet West. Grammie and Grandpa came for a visit last Sunday.

Last weekend Mira and Annah entered the Silverton Fun Run's 1 mile kid's race. Here they are just before the race began. They both did great and both took 4th place in their age categories. Annah was espeically competative, while Mira could have cared less about winning.

The warm weather has arrived and here is a typical afternoon - we have play dates most afternoons with friends. Today we went to a local park for a picnic with our good friends.

Annah and West love to play together. West is nine weeks in this photo.

Weston was dedicated at church last Sunday, Mother's Day

And this photo is from when West was about three weeks old but I forgot to post it before. My good friend Maija took this photo and I love it!
