Barrett's been playing soccer and it's been so fun getting to watch his first experience with team sports. They're the Green Giants, and two of his best friends are on the team with him (Tyler is pictured here - they're friends from school. Tyler is also the team ringer - he's crazy good, seriously.) Barrett probably enjoys practice more than the games, but he's getting better and better and it's fun to watch him improve and have fun. I love that if anyone falls down, on either team, Barrett runs over to say, "it's ok, come on!" and wave them back into the game. And he loves high fives and putting his arms around everyone whenever they gather. I smell a team captain in the making.

This picture pretty well captures life at home with these two. I love this one.

I know she's crying here, but I had to show how much she LOVES shoes!! No matter what else she's wearing, she'll come up to me with a pair of shoes and just stick her feet out until I put them on her. She's crying here because she also loves the camera - I had to take it away to take her picture and she wasn't having it. Not at all.

And finally one of her happy (which she usually is). Baby girl on Cinco De Mayo in the adorable dress that Mark and Erin got her for her birthday when they were in Mexico. Thanks! Love it. And her. The cutest.
