Jude is starting to move around - holding up his head, rolling over, etc. He is working on sitting up by himself and most importantly, holding his own bottle :)

The blog has taken a backseat to the normal chaos of tending to children and jobs. Here are a few pictures of the boys so you can see how they are getting cuter by the day.

Jude at 6 months old. So far, he is bigger than Charlie was and a better sleeper. He is starting to make more noise and laughs the loudest at his brother Charlie.

Sadly, we didn't make it to the National Mall for the inauguration - it was too cold for these guys - but they were dressed in patriotic colors to witness the historic event on TV. We're hoping for an Obama sighting in the next 4 ...or 8 years.

Here is Charlie entertaining himself indoors playing Hide and Seek - we have been cooped up by the record cold temps. Can't wait for spring!!!

One, two, three, four, five, TEN!

It's not often enough that we see these dear friends. The Stavlunds joined us for brunch today to bring in 2009. I'm thinking that Charlie and Ella make a pretty cute couple!

Some photos from Christmas...more to come...
