Happy Birthday to Katelin

Hi Kateboard, the Boy wanted to wish you a happy 21st birthday! We love and miss you! Hope you had a fun day!

Pics from yesterday

Since I've been working such long hours at work, Courtney and Eric volunteered to watch Andrew last night. Pics included here.

Happy Mothers Day

Dear mom,

Since we are far away from you Chicago, we recorded some Mothers Day messages for you, our dear GrandMare and Cali Grandma Jillair...

To Grandma Marianne:

Happy 6-month Birthday to Andrew

We had Andrew's half-birthday party on Saturday.

Can you believe he's already 6 months old?

Thanks to Courtney for the beautiful cake.

I can't believe this was the first time she's done a fondant cake. Even Andrew wanted some.

Andrew also wants to say thanks to Jaime for his half-birthday cake (get it? half a cake). This was his first cake ever. So impressive.

The group.

The first feeding:

We waited for the party to feed Andrew his first real food--rice cereal. We had heard that the first time wouldn't be very successful (he would spit it out, or he wouldn't know how to swallow, etc.) but he loved it. He kept reaching his head out for more.

This is what happened when we stopped feeding him (I told you he liked it)...

Family picture.

Here are two of Andrew's favorite friends (Unkie Sid and Eric).

Lastly, a picture in parting.
