Our new life...

Our lives are much different now that we have two little ones (one not-so-little) running around. With the tough times also comes many enjoyable times, like last night when Sara, her mom, Lleyton, Parker and myself joined my mom and dad for a boat ride on the lake. The boys love the lake!

Times like those make up for most of the very difficult times we have had in the last couple of weeks. I am hoping that once Parker picks up more english and once we get his teeth taken care of, then it will be much easier for him to get adjusted to this new life we have thrust him into. My expectation would be that after that happens, Sara and I will be able to then get adjusted ourselves. Until then, we will have some bumps in the road here and there, but we will also have plenty of moments like the ones pictured below.

Bathtime always proves to be enjoyable for the two of them.


You needn't speak the same language to enjoy a slip-n-slide together.




Whether you are American, Ethiopian, Russian, or any other nationality, you are going to like cupcakes.
