We finally caught some smiles!

Eric's "Send-off" Picnic

This Tuesday Eric is leaving for training and then Iraq (he will be gone for 14 months, I believe). So last Friday we had a picnic and then went to Megan and Eric's house to play some games.




































We had fun playing volleyball, but we all were pretty pathetic- I think Dad did better than all the rest of us!

Maleah's First Road Trip!

Last week we decided to drive out to Cleveland to see Jeremy, Jo, and Ryan. We left on Sunday morning for the 12 hour drive, but it actually turned into a 15 hour drive since Maleah liked to take her time whenever we stopped. :) I hung all the toys we had around her carseat to help keep her entertained. Overall, she did really well, but I could tell she was glad to be out of that carseat at the end of the day!

Some moments of contentment...

They are slowly becoming more frequent! Grandma H. got Maleah this activity center and she loves it!

Maleah's Many Faces

Well, Maleah has been keeping me quite busy, which is why it has been a while since my last post. Here are some pictures that show her wide range of facial expressions- I actually don't have any pictures yet of her two favorite faces, though- her crying face and her scowling/glaring face. :) She is a month old now- time sure does fly!

Easter Sunday

We spent most of the day at my parent's house along with aunts, uncles, and cousins. Then we went to Corey's parents house in the evening where Corey and Cody looked for Easter eggs. :)

Maleah is already wearing daddy's clothes- Corey wore this sleeper 24 years ago!





























Barb and Ranae Peterson came by to see Maleah, and Corey changed his first dirty diaper! Yes, he can be a bit dramatic. :)
