Christmas In August

Tonight we took Bryce's 3 month old pictures, and between those and the ones of him swimming I'm sure you all will consider this a fine day. Maybe not Christmas, but close. I know everyone thinks they have the cutest baby, but we have proof that we will offer here:

Hopefully Aunt Quenby's Checking the Blog

I found this picture today, so there really is a picture of us Casa del Sol people in existence. :0)

(Look at Andrew's long hair!)

Nap time

I was hoping to post some shots of Bryce and me swimming since that is our new pastime here in the 110 degree Fresno summer days of death. But unfortunately, we have a little too much going on and we left the camera at Grannie's. So for now, a shot of nap time at the Halverson's.


You may not believe this, but our ever elusive Cricket was also on the bed just prior to this shot, but scattered when she saw the camera coming. Her heard-of-but-seldom-seen reputation is very important to her. I know some of you are thinking she doesn't really exist, that she may be an imaginary cat like little kids have imaginary friends, but you may check with my parents or Adam and Laura DeClercq of Anaheim for verification of her existence.

P.S. for those of you "back is best" folks who are freaking out about how my child is lying on the bed, try trading a 2 hour nap for a 30 minute one and see how you feel in the morning (by morning I mean 4 a.m. when someone's hungry). I do check to make sure he's breathing.

Munchkin

Yeah, I know we have a million pictures of Bryce, but how can you resist this little dude?

White Boy Walking

This morning Bryce and I went for a walk around the new hood. It is pretty sunny and hot here, so he had to wear his hat. Unfortunately his brown-man genes from Andrew haven't kicked in yet. You can see in the picture he looks rather concerned. I think he enjoyed the walk, just not his hat.

Book time

Andrew is probably going to make fun of me for posting this because he took this picture maybe 8 times and half of them Bryce was looking at him and the other half I had my eyes closed. But I promise, I really had them open, I was just looking at the book. Bryce likes to read all sorts of books and I know you're thinking there is something wrong with this picture-Berenstein Bears is not the paramount of literature for children. Unfortunately we packed up a lot of the books for this part of the move, so Bears it is. Bryce's current favorite is Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton. We give it 5 stars.

New Diggs: Take 2

Okay, as promised here are the pics of the new place. We are living in the mother in law apartment at our brother in law's grandma's house in Fresno. Andrew decided to be the best daddy ever today and take Bryce to his parent's house so mommy could have a break and I was finally able to get everything put away.
