Our adorable children.

I've given myself the challenge to try to take equal amounts of photos of each of the kids. It's so easy to get caught up with the newborns and forget to photograph the constantly changing older children. Naomi will actually chant her name after a photo until you show her the picture you just took of her. It's kind of funny.

Anyway here is a photo of our little man flexing his muscles.

Our little camera hog. She loves to be in front of the camera, and smile for it. I just love her cheesy smile.

Aric's sister Casey came for a visit last week. It was nice to  have here. I know that Naomi was glad to have someone pay so much attention to her. She loved having someone read to her while mom was otherwise busy with Sylas. Went to the park one day, as that is pretty much her favorite place to go. Here she is on the way to the park hand-in-hand with Auntie Casey.

Of course we cannot go to the park without playing on the swings.

Here we are happy to be laying with bubbles.

Doing some exploring on our own.

Enjoying the big swings

On Sunday afternoon we took a short walk in the Millcreek ravine in hopes of getting some family photos done. Aric taught her to throw rocks in the creek.  It was hard to get her to pose for pictures after that. She just wanted to play.

It was a nice treat to have Casey visit. I think she was little sad the night she flew in, as it was raining, and really not different from her Seattle home. But it cleared up nicely over night and we had nice weather the whole time he was here. We took in the farmers market on the Saturday and enjoyed a nice walk down Whyte Avenue. Casey I need your email address so I can send you all the pictures of the you and the kids. Thanks again for coming.

Not much is happening in our lives. We are still applying for every job Aric sees these days. There is one in Beaumont that he has applied for. One of his co-workers kids goes to that school, so she said she will go and put in a good word for hm. That is in the Blackgold  district that he spent a couple of months working in last year, so had a great reference from that district. That would be wonderful. Please remember to keep us in you prayers so we can find a job asap and plan out what we will be doing in the future.

We love you all and love to hear from you.
