Ponderosa Update - He Keeps Getting Cuter

Baby Bootcamp - Taming a 'lil Bronco Buster

I snuck this picture of Alicia as I was taking pictures of Liam in his Easter outfit.
This photo is completely un-posed but is an often sight on the Ponderosa.
I am amazed at Alicia's resilience (she is breastfeeding 99% of the time), tenderness, determination and strength. I am incredibly proud of her and her awesome work as Mommy.
I am sure this is not the only photo of a Mom who has the "thousand yard stare".

Aunt Katy Rides into Town

Aunt Katy came down from Chicago this past Friday and spent the night at the Ponderosa.

It was special having her there. It was her first time to meet Liam and he thought she was one cool Cowgirl.

She is definitely an all-star - she changed several diapers, held him for hours and fell in-love with him just like us.

Katy is welcome by our fire anytime. Love ya sis.

They Call Me "The Streak"

Here are some pics we took of Liam today in all of his birthday suit glory!
Using white sheets is definitley an adventure: Liam successfully launched a direct hit that required some cleaning.

First Weekend at the Lake

We left the 'Rosa this weekend and headed over to Graford, TX to spend a day at the lake with the kin-folk and relax. This was Liam's first road trip and he did great sitting in the back of the wagon with Mama.
We had some adventures while there - we went for a ride on the Mule, hiked up to a spring-fed water pool, watched goats, slept and then slept some more.
The weather was excellent and we had a blast kicking-up our boots and relaxing.
