I'm on a roll now...

First things first, here is our new niece, Sophie Lynn, who was born today, Aug. 16 and looks exactly like her big brother Jack when he was born!

On July 3, we celebrated the baptism of both Nolan and Daphne! We are so proud to also be the Godparents of little Daphne.

L to R: Ellison, Jonathan, Nolan, Erin, Megan, Daphne, and Josh.

We were honored to have my brother, Erik, be Nolan's Godparent.
A family pic with Laur and Jer too!

Here are some pictures on the pontoon, from late July when the kids and I took a trip to Wausau (Jonny joined us later in the week).

Noli and Elle

Me and my kids

The brothers and their new baby's, I mean bikes! (Jonny now...technically, these are BMC racemachines rm01. Full carbon, Sram Red, Easton EA70 wheels and bars - to summarize, RIDICULOUS!)

looking back

The picture below is the most current of the 2 kids, after that you will find pictures of them from the last 4 months; all the way back to Easter and Elle's 3rd birthday up to Nolan's birthday.


Both of the kids love sitting/spinning in J's chair, not together though...



Birthday Boy Nolan James turned the big 1 on July 14!
