so i was going to try to show pictures from the last three months, but i just decided i didn’t have time to do that big of a photo catch up, so this will mostly be words, with a few recent pictures. we’ve been through a lot since our sweet julian was born. we’ve had a lot of loss… but with every loss, we have seemed to gain something amazing, so God has really been with us.
i’ll just break it down by person…

jenn: is loving having two wonderful kiddos to hang out with everyday. i’ve been adjusting well, i think. i’m still doing some photography… britton is in the process of changing our website, the new version is already up and running, we just have to add galleries and more recent work. let’s see, oh i’ve gotten two haircuts! never thought i’d do it, but i donated about ten or twelve inches to locks of love. you all saw, i have a new nephew, cade. i guess that’s about it!

britton: has been busy with summer school and work. he’s doing well with both.

julian: is such a sweet, easy baby. he’s all smiles during the day, and we are still working on the sleeping thing at night. he was sleeping through the night, but then he hit a growth spurt, then we traveled to tyler, so he’s still trying to get back on track. he’s very strong, holding his head up very well. he loves to be talked to, music, watching his sister, and he’s so ticklish! he’s a lot of fun.

siriana: gets smarter everyday. she can say and recognize cylinders, cubes, and sometimes pyramids. we figured, why not move on to the 3d shapes. she knows what the red, green and yellow traffic lights mean. when asked where airplaines, boats, trains and car/trucks go she will say sky, water, tracks, and road. she’s starting the beginning stages of reading. she starting spelling s-t-o-p whenever she sees a stop sign, so her daddy started bringing home a new word almost every day printed on card stock, and she remembers each word. i know she’s not reading them, but her memory skills are amazing. also, she’s been in a big girl bed for about a week now. she’s sleeping in the twin bed britton slept in as a kid. she loves it and has transitioned very well.

people have been asking how the kids are with each other… so if you are wondering, you can see from that picture their daddy took of them. they have a ball together. siri is such a good big sister. and jules adores her. he can’t stop smiling when she’s in the room.

we got two new kittens from a litter that was rescued by crystal garcia’s sister. after we had to put our beloved rogue to sleep, we’ve really been missing having a pet, and siriana loves animals so much. we got a gray boy kitty, and we named him axel, and a black girl kitty, and we named her pheobe. we got two b/c we thought they would be happier having a sibling since they were still so young when we got them. besides, we have two kids now, we have to be fair and get one for each! they are so cute and playful. we will take some pictures of them soon to show everyone. well, i think that’s it for now. here’s a couple of photos:
