Welcome Sebastian!

We are thrilled to welcome our new nephew and cousin, Sebastian Michael! Seb arrived 7/13/13 weighing 9lbs 10oz and 22.5 in long. What a cutie!

I was so happy to spend some time with sweet Sebastian and his fantastic parents this past weekend. 

 I did a lot of this! 

 O and G are excited for their first Smith cousin, who they "met" via Facetime. Gotta love technology! 

Can't wait to see you guys again soon!

Safety camp

Owen wrapped up a week of McGruff safety camp with the local police and fire departments. It was fantastic!

They learned all about safety and practiced their skills, including traffic safety on these super cool 4 wheelers- Owen's favorite part! 

Happy 4th of July!

Redwoods

We revisited Muir Woods, which we first went to with Connor and Stephanie back in 1998! We were happy to take our kids back to see the remarkable redwood trees.  

over 1,000 years old!
