Grandma Howe Comes

Thankful my mom was able to come out for about 10 days. She was a great help as always and we enjoyed time together with the kids.

Tulip Farm

My mom and I took the kids north of Seattle to see the tail end of the tulip festival. Although many of the tulips were on their last leg, what we did see was still breath taking.

Spring Days

Although Washington Spring is pretty much as wet and cold as the Fall and Winter (and sometimes into Summer), we are enjoying the blossoms, the fresh green on the trees, and the starting of our garden. We are amazed at the beauty God has surrounded us with here.

Tee Ball!!!

Let the adventures in tee ball begin! Noah is absolutely clueless about baseball (seems that many of his other teammates are as well!) but even by his second game things started clicking for him. It's a pleasure to watch these little guys do the cutest things out on the field.

3 Months Old

Hard to believe that Amalia is rounding the corner and leaving her infant stage. In this crop of pictures- Amalia's first "Bumbo" seat experience (not sure that she is totally in love with it but she is borrowing it from another baby friend), still catching a nap here and there on tired daddy, and Amalia enjoys a new quilt sent from some dear friends of ours.

The Egg Hunt!

After church we had a little egg hunt on our lawn with some of the neighbors and our friends. It was Hudson's first and he enjoyed every moment of it!

All Spiffed Up

Some very handsome boys (in a mother's very humble opinion).

Easter Sunday Morning

Our sweet little Selph children- Noah 5 1/2, Hudson almost 3, and Amalia 3 months old.

Boys...

Disheveled, dirty, wet, silly, sweaty, rambunctious, and sweet boys!!! We are thankful for some new friends that just moved to town and now go to our church. Noah and Hudson can't stop talking about the "Olsen Boys".

Happy and Healthy

One look at Amalia and there's no doubt this girl is getting plenty of milk! She is coming up on her 10 week birthday.

Amalia's first shower

I took Amalia to a bridal shower this weekend. As I observed a tearful and happy mother watch her daughter open up shower gifts for her wedding, I couldn't help but look at my daughter Amalia sleeping soundly in her car seat. It's hard to imagine that one day that might be us... seems so far away.

Sugar and Spice

Still pinching ourselphs that we have a little girl around our house. She is always ready with a smile, especially when the camera comes out.
