Updatage:

We are finally starting to get a hang of the whole parenting thing. River is growing like crazy and seems to look different every day I come home from work. Yegi and Emily are having a blast together with the boys on their "days off". There are more and more babies in our group of friends that are being born and even more to come. We have got to spend a lot more time with friends (in and out of the houses) than I had originally anticipated which has been a blessing. Below is a photo blog of the latest events.



New Momma's. Can you tell whose baby is whose?

These two have been dreaming of this day for a very long time.



Ah, Retirement...

Yegi's work friends stopped by to see the River man.

I'm in charge of bath time.

This cold air is making my hair grow, look at my arms!

All wrapped up and no place to go. Might as well bug out.

Getting lotionized. Not sure if that's a word.

Matt & Sarah brought dinner and holding relief.

Nama & Newcastle, hard to beat.

Sarah Beth and the little man. As you can see, he is very snuggley.

Sarah Beth & Jen (Elle Boutique) has a fashion show twice a year. I have now had the pleasure (dragged kicking and screaming) of attending three times in a row. I am not the only one though...see below.

My counterparts for this enjoyable evening also very happy to be in attendance. Nice purse Matt (far left). Looks like Scott (far right) is drowning away his sorrows. Actually the two in the middle were very happy to be there. This is their third year together as "partners". Wishing them the best of luck in Massachusetts!

The real reason we went was to support Cousin Jewels. This is her first year of the model rounds. Look at all that sass.

Young Life wives.

Sorry Julie, this just made me laugh.

Cousins! and a neat looking picture.

They just found out she is pregnant. Can you imagine how big she will get? Just kidding. At the time this picture was taken Cameron was just a couple days from his due date. He hasn't made an appearance yet but I'm calling March 4, 2010, say 10:28 p.m.

Part of the girls after the show. Two more babies coming soon. Best part of this picture is in the background: Megan W. is posing for someone taking pictures. Every time I see her I think of a story she and her sister told: Each year their family dresses up for a live Nativity scene in their front yard because their neighborhood has a competition for "Best Christmas Decorations". The competition lasts for hours as people from their neighborhood and the surrounding community (Atlanta) drive by and watch them. Megan always plays Mary and her sister who is a little taller plays Joseph. This just really makes me laugh.
