What happens when you leave Dad home alone

Stephen was home alone and this is what he did to entertain himself. We love him!

20th Anniversary of Strauss

Another Strauss Festival has come and gone 20 years -- hard to believe. Our family is so grateful that Diane said "yes" she would help that very first year.

Sample Lady

Yes, it is true -- Courtney is now a sample lady at Costco. Isn't the hairnet to cute? On her first day of work she almost cut her thumb off with a can of chicken. So, today they had her give samples of a sports drink -- kinda hard to get hurt on a plastic container. We had fun visiting her today. I did find out that I am not a fan of sports drinks.

Trying to post photos from CA trip, but blogger is having issues...

So..here is a photo of Joelle from an evening at the park near my parents house. Tried to load a photo of Liam playing basketball too, but Blogger doesn't want to let me load anymore photos right now! So more to come later, including a new Ultrasound photo from our Ultrasound in the drs office yesterday!

Baby boy names: Okay here are a few of my picks:

Isaac
Everett (and you could call him Rett)
Carson
Cole

That is all I can think of for now but I may be able to come up with a few more with some more thoughts.

And we are excited to have another cute boy in the family -- I am looking forward to seeing if it will be another red head.
