Chris and Lisa took Leia to see the Easter Bunny with her friend CJ and his parents, Cory and Kelly. Both the little ones did great with the Easter Bunny despite the fact there was technical difficulties and we had to wait an extra 30 minutes.  The extra time gave the adults more time to… Continue reading A Visit with the Easter Bunny

This past Saturday Leia and Lisa spent a few hours visiting her cousins and Aunt Stacy at their house while Chris stayed home to exercise, cut grass and wash the cars. Leia is growing so fast! She hung in there with her big cousins and got to do just about everything they did from swinging with… Continue reading A Girls Saturday at the Rhoads

Chris, Lisa and Leia spent a whole day at the house. It is not often that we get to do this so we captured a few pictures of our day. We were able to capture one of the big smiles that Leia gives as she wakes up in the morning or from a nap, Leia skiing in… Continue reading Around the House

Lisa got to celebrate her birthday all week long since Chris had to travel for business on her birthday.  We started celebrating the weekend before with DeeDee, Mimi, Papa and Grandpa. The following weekend Chris, Lisa and Leia went out for a special belated birthday dinner. It was a great birthday!

On Chris’s birthday Lisa’s grandmother was taken to the hospital. Chris and Lisa called DeeDee to come visit/help keep Leia since Mimi had been keeping Leia. Leia was spoiled by her DeeDee for a couple days. They both seemed to enjoy spending time together (of course Sierra enjoyed it too). To say thank you Leia gave DeeDee a picture frame. 🙂

Chris enjoyed celebrating his first birthday as a daddy. Of course Leia gave him extra big smiles that day and lots of love.

Looking at our blog there seems to be a month missing from Leia’s life. The delay is a result of Lisa returning to work late in February.  However, Lisa will be going part time in April. The last weekend in Febrauary, Leia and Mommy hanging out at Mimi and Papa’s house with cousins Sara and Katie, Aunt Stacy, and… Continue reading Weekend Fun

This post/letter is mainly met for my girls.  Lisa, Leia, and Sierra.  Some of you have only known the huge Chris while some of you have known a slightly slimmer but still huge Chris.  Today, I want to begin taking the word huge or big from in front of my name. My nickname growing up,… Continue reading A defining moment of change

This is Leia’s idea of talking.  We may not understand it yet, but she knows exactly what she is talking about. ALSO, right under the title is the link to add a comment, so go… Continue reading Leia Talks!

All the nice weather keeps us going to the park to walk around and explore. This trip was Daddy’s first time to go with mommy and Leia. We enjoyed walking around and are excited that we found a good park close to the house that is sure to become a favorite place for our family to visit as Leia continues… Continue reading Daddy goes to the park too
