Hey Zach, some of these are a little old, but I don't think they've been put up because they're from mom's camera.

As soon as Heather walked in with Kiara for the first time, we both had to feed our babies.


Their first pics together were a fiasco!

This was Esther's first time in the bumbo seat. She ended up completely slumped over. She's doing great in it now though!


Esther fell asleep in Mom's swing like this. Look at the fingers on her right hand too... so cute!
There's the girls taking a nap together, kinda ;)

Dad was being really cute playing with Esther after dinner at the table.


She's trying to eat everything in sight now.

Then the storms hit and Heather and I took the girls into the basement at Heather and Ry's and Nermal wanted so badly to come down and join us.

Down in the basement making sure the girls were safe and trying to keep plugs from falling on the extremely gross floor.
One person who was definetly NOT phased by the tornadoes.
Dad playing with Kiara after one wave of storms had blown over.


It's still a little big but I just had to put it on her and take a pic to show you! You're a hero to both of us!


Isn't this cute?

And then here's the proud Grandma/Milita. She can't decide what she wants to be called and wants Heather and I to pick. What do you like better?

Love you and miss you, I'll keep putting pics of Esther up for you as often as I can!

Esther and Kiara's first meeting...
Um... Mommy, what is this thing making such funny noises?


Kiara just was enamored by the light.


I don't know... she was grabbing the toy I guess.


Samson really likes Esther, so much so that he even combed her hair for her with his tongue.


Casey likes Esther too, and didn't mind holding her at all, she actually liked it I think.


Deer in the headlights


Oooo, a blanket


Stop taking pictures of me


Barbara Jones likes Esther, and Esther really liked Barbara Jones and wouldn't stop talking to her


And she smiled a lot too.

Zach, your little girl loves you and misses you a lot.  She can't wait to talk to you again not to mention see you when you get home!

More pics for Daddy

Hi Daddy!
Look, I've got the keys and I'm all ready to get into your Camaro and have a joy of a ride!
But first, I'm going to gum the keys for awhile.
Esther was waking up from a nap and I went to check on her, and her little feet kept appearing and then disappearing.
And then there's the I'm-smiling-because-I-just-had-an-amazing-popcorn-fart!
I took some video, but it won't upload... I'll keep trying though.
We love you!

A picture speaks 1,000 words (especially when there's writing in it).

Hey Zach, somebody wanted to say hi...




It was really cute, she was enthralled with the paper.  I held it out in front of her and she actually put her hand out right next to it and started opening and closing her fingers.  She's a bright little bugger.  At one point, she had it right across her face, I tried to get the shot, but she was moving too much, oh well.  These worked out just fine, I think.

We love you!

Hey love,
Here's the pictures so you can keep up on our little girl.
This one I took today, actually, all of the ones of her in this outfit, I took today.  She kept sticking her legs up in the air so I waited to get a picture of it, pretty cute eh?
Here's one of her with a classic smile :)
I had her laying on her mat with a burp rag protecting the mat in case she spat up, you know, and she grabbed the mat and had it covering her face, as you see here.  The thing that made it really funny is that she looked super sleepy and it was like she was trying to cover her face from the light.
Here's one of her peeking around the rag. 
Then she grabbed the plug out of her mouth and was seriously holding onto it for about 3 or 4 min, just waving it around in the air.
While she was waving it around, she kept looking at it as if to say, "Hey, I know what you are and I know where you're supposed to go, I just don't know how to get you there."  She's amazing, isn't she?
Here she is, all dressed up to go play cards last night.  That outfit is super-duper precious on her.
This was Friday I think.  She fell asleep in her car seat with her hand holding the ring on the ducky.  I couldn't help but get a picture of it.  Today, after church she had ahold of the lion's tail and was just yanking away.

Anyway, I will keep taking pictures and putting them up here frequently and if you want any special ones, just let me know.  I love you and Esther sends her love too!
