Hi! We're Jill and Andrew. Here we are celebrating Jill's birthday.
Zach's two. He's good-natured and goofy. (Here he is giving us his best camera face.) We know he'll give a lot of love and take a lot of pride in being a big brother.
Here's where we live.
Here's a "before" shot of our backyard playhouse. Andrew is in the middle of renovating it to include a deck and climbing wall!
Zach and his pals like to hang out in our hammock.
Olive, our sweet Chocolate Lab. So loyal and patient--and tolerant of tail pulling!
Jill and Zach getting the trike ready for a spin.
Music is a big part of our household, whether listening to it or making our own.
Reading is a big part of our family life as well as Jill's teaching specialty. Zach favors truck books and ANYTHING read by Grandma and Grandpa.
The Washington, DC area has so many amazing amenities and events. We try to take advantage of all of it. Here we are sharing the excitement of Inauguration weekend with friends!
Setting off on an adventure with some essentials: Daddy, dragon boots, and a laundry basket!
We love going to the local playground!
Jill and Zach on one of their daily trips to the playground. This was a cold one!
Jill's parents, hard at work making a dump truck birthday cake for their grandson!
Jill's father loves to make Zach laugh.
Zach and his Grandma Chris have some fun on the living room floor.
We love chilly weekend mornings with the paper, a fire, and pancakes.
We enjoy canoeing in Andrew's grandfather's 90 year old boat.
Here we are rafting on the Deschutes River in Oregon.
Suited up for a freezing Packers game!
Hanging out with Uncle Doug, the best pillow fort-builder around!
A friend's party--we do manage to get dressed up sometimes!
Lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins await a new family member!
