watching football with dad
loving on dad, she just can't get enough of him these days
sweet baby face
trying to figure out how silas's electric car works
testing silas's new slide out for him at his birthday party


just some more pictures...not much to report. marley's been battling a cold and ben's been working a lot. mom and i started sorting through marley's outgrown baby clothes to see what we have. we have a lot. unfortunately marley was born in ohio in the middle of winter. simba will be born in texas in the summer. i don't think we could get more different climates, and therefore more different baby gear needs. but a lot of it is pretty gender neautral, so will work for a boy or a girl. it was fun and kind of sad to look through all her old clothes. she was so tiny. and she is such a big girl now. but i have enjoyed her every step of the way. and will continue to do so, though i think her teenage years will be quite a handful. i can hear my mom laughing from here. party invitations are in the mail today, for the big number two.
