It's been a good year and a half.

That is partly because we've had such great neighbors to make us feel at home in a new city, and with a new baby. Today I drove home for the first time with a home to the right that is empty. We are so sad that our first real neighbors, Katie, Daniel, and Aubrey have moved. It has been a wonderful year of talking on the porch or over the shrubs, swapping babysitting, eating each other's brownies (although I made out on that deal), and watching our babies (and bellies) grow. (and then shrink again). I am so sad not to see little Aubrey sitting on my swing when I get home in the afternoon, really! Thanks for being good friends and neighbors. Although you're not moving to Kansas or anything, it won't be the same without y'all on Sheridan street for sure.

This is our (almost) daily routine of swatting the bugs and catching up on the day's events.
walking when they were so itty bitty.
the swings at the playground down the street! I wish Fletch were old enough to remember how fun it was to have Aubrey as a neighbor. We will miss y'all...

long time no pics.

There has been a bit of a blog hiatus, due to the fact that the primary blog poster is lazy (that's me). We have some great pictures to share, from a few events- I just have to post them in stages, so here's the first installment. From the beach with Jeff and Eliko! We miss y'all already-Thanks for a wonderful week... (you can click on their link to the right if you're really interested in seeing more pictures, mom).Umm, the pool is like my favorite place in the world.
Anyone recognize this fantastic pizza place in the heart of downtown Auburn? Welcome to the South, Jakers. (the one with the awesome hairdo).
Jake Kai is part man- part fish. He is very serious in all of the pool pics because he is trying to submerge himself completely, against his mother's wishes. Also, I thought you should get some Brocato blog-exposure, Eliko.

PS, Papa turned 60 this week, and chief turned 56 so give them a hard time if you see them around. HB Papa and Chief!
