Porter loses his first tooth!

Porter was pretty tough when he ripped that sucker out! He is pretty excited about his four quarters from the tooth fairy, and he informed me this morning that he was going to buy a dinosaur with it.

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas here in Glen Burnie. We had dad all to ourselves and spent a lot of time with friends and just hanging out!

Porter turns 6!

Porter wanted to go swimming for his birthday, so we braved taking quite a few kids to the new indoor pool in Glen Burnie! It was pretty crazy, but I think everyone had a good time!

Kids in the Fall

Maryland is beautiful in the fall. Too bad we missed the more colorful part!

Happy Halloween!

We took the kids trick or treating
with some friends, the Summers
and Braithwaites around our
neighborhood. Pretty cute group!

Dad takes kids to Sesame Place

The kids had a blast this weekend with dad. It was great bonding time before the baby comes and rotations start! 

Cahoon Family Reunion

The kids met some new cousins and had a lot of fun at the reunion! 

Fun at the Cabin

We went to grandma and grandpa Cahoon's cabin a few times this summer and brushed up on our swimming skills. 

Fun at Guzoo

Guzoo in Three Hills, AB was a highlight of our trip. The kids were able to pet a lot of cool animals, including this 8-week-old tiger, and hold this 5-week-old linx! They loved it!

Porter and Autumn at Mt. Rushmore

On our drive to Alberta, we stopped to see Mt. Rushmore, a must see! 

Autumn is a flower girl two weekends in a row!

Angela and Ian were married May 27, and Alison and JT were married June 3...Autumn was a great flower girl!

Caps game

Four of us went to the Caps game on Saturday. We found out that Porter and James were more interested in the food and floating blimps than the game.
