San Diego

Mike and I headed down to San Diego for our nephew Justin's first birthday. It was also a chance to say goodbye to Jon-Paul who has by now left for Iraq. We had a great weekend. It was fun to watch Justin and Anna to play together, JP hit the bbq, and we just enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. I already miss my little (big) brother and hope everyone who reads this will keep him in your prayers.

Pure fun

This is just always cute. I know everyone with kids has taken these pictures. It is so funny to watch your little baby, who has only known liquids, to eat rice cereal. Anna wasn't terribly interested, but as my mom put it, would you be that excited about rice cereal? Good point. Moving on to the good stuff very soon (i.e. fruits and veggies). Anna is now a little over 6 months and growing like a weed. She is sitting up pretty much on her own and rolling all over the place. This age is so much fun.
