Doozie Dances

That's our girl - rockin' out to Joan Baez and Bob Marley wearing a dress Deanna sent her with her basketball shorts (not showing but a must with EVERY outfit) and Michigan State shirt.

The girl's got style.

Wa-hoo!!!!

You guys HAVE to check out Karen and Joel's blog for the big news. We are so excited we can hardly stand it!!!
They are going to be the most awesome, loving, funny, brilliant biologist parents ever! Congratulations you two - we can't wait for this new addition to the family! Benny and Des are asking all sorts of interesting questions (who's belly will the baby grow in? will my cousin have hair like mine? ...can't imagine there's a chance of that...). We couldn't be happier for you guys! Lots of love to you!

Happy Birthday Desaroo!

Our sweet, funny, not-so-little girl turned 3 last week (2/20)! Unfortunately, we were all demolished by the flu and completely out of commission the whole week. On Saturday we were finally able to sit up at the table and have a little celebration! We are still moving slowly and sleeping a lot...this one was a doozy!
In spite of recent illness, Desi makes sure her animals are dressed to the nines...especially Cleo (a present from Grandma and Grandpa). The girl has style!

Happy Birthday Benny!

Our sweet boy is 7!!! Ben, you are such a blessing and have helped us grow so much right along with you! Thank you for making us a family!
You continue to amaze us with your humor, enthusiasm, compassion and love.
We are so lucky to be your parents, and so excited to see what a truly beautiful person you are. Happy, happy birthday!
(The last picture was taken on Ben's birthday (2/5) but my internet connection was down and I couldn't post until tonight)
