This just goes to show that the best pictures aren’t posed..they are captured. We were out washing the car today, and I noticed Hannah getting a drink from the hose. It was priceless, and I couldn’t help snapping a few shots. addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelindners.org%2F2008%2F07%2Fthirsty%2F’; addthis_title = ‘Thirsty%3F’; addthis_pub = ”;

Yesterday, we took the kids to the Oregon Zoo. It was Hannah’s second trip (third if you count ZooLights) and Henry’s first trip (although it probably wasn’t very memorable for him). It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time. The zoo wasn’t very crowded (although I did see three of my past [...]

With the recent heat wave, we have been taking every opportunity to let Hannah play outside in her new backyard. She loves to run, play with sports balls, throw her frisbee, chase bugs with her butterfly net, and play with Joey. However, her favorite things to do outside are play in her pool, and play [...]

We started our day by heading down the Washington side, enjoying the beautiful and scenic drive. We stopped to have a picnic at Beacon Rock State Park. It was absolutely gorgeous! The nature around [...]

For the fourth of July, we went to our senior pastor’s house for a bbq and fireworks. Before the fireworks started, Hannah had fun playing in the backyard.

Hannah also loves to wear her “cool dude glasses.” Hannah recently received a reading achievement award at our local library. Along with a certificate, she got to choose a [...]

Henry is our sweet and smiley little guy. He has a very easy-going demeanor, but can melt your heart with his smile and little laugh. He is also starting to “talk”, and hearing his little sounds and giggles is a lot of fun. addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelindners.org%2F2008%2F07%2Four-little-man%2F’; addthis_title = ‘Our+Little+Man’; addthis_pub = ”;

David and I have been blessed with two incredible kids. Hannah is 27 months, and Henry just turned 10 weeks old. They grow and change every day, and daily give us new things to smile about. Hannah is talking up a storm! She is using full sentences now, and picks up new words and phrases [...]
