1st Annual Klingler Gingerbread House Construction/Destruction Party!

Just this morning a bunch of us got together at Matt & Courtney's place to have a holiday "build-off." That's right, sugar in every shape and size came together to form the creative confectionery concoctions you see below. (Us parents think the party was just a conspiracy on the part of the children to get everyone together so they could eat as many M&M's and mini-marshmallows as possible without getting in trouble.) It was fun, fun, fun for all.
Merry Christmas!

Family pics at Olan Mills

We did a family photo-shoot right after Thanksgiving and the proofs are available for viewing if you'd like. To see the pictures or, Mom, if you want to buy any, go to www.olanmills.com/reorder and enter order number 243417456-7 and our last name.

Not sure how long they'll be available, and I know this site is made available for purchasing reprints, not merely online sharing, so let me encourage all you parents & grandmas out there to give Olan Mills their share for helping create these wonderful memories ;)

Merry Christmas from the 5 of us!

Pajama Head

So, Jaden's developed quite the sense of humor. Yesterday's escapade involved digging through the clothes bin and finding a pair of pajama pants that desperately needed to be placed on his head, then laughing hysterically as he ran from one end of the apartment to the other trying to avoid the camera. Man, kids are fun.

Moving Hiatus

Some of you have noticed (and commented on) the absence of any recent blog posts. If you haven't heard, we've moved! So, in an effort to "catch up" a bit from the holiday I've opted for a photo-journal approach with minimal captions ;) Thus saving you some reading time and me some writing time. So, enjoy!

Thanksgiving Day --- my (Josh) Dad flew in from Arizona for the weekend and here are a few pics of T-day proper. Cooking and eating, of course, at our new place.



Well, Caleb & Andrew are 15 months old and they've finally had their first haircuts. Check out the next show below for some "after" pics.
