Family News and More!

In an effort to keep our lives interesting, Mark and I are expecting our second little one on March 7, 2009. We are certainly as surprised about this addition as you are! Of course, this will come with lots of changes, sacrifices, etc., but we are more than excited to be open to life! We've always wanted a big family! Guess we'll be getting it sooner than expected!

Kolbe Boy is now 8 months old. (He'll be 16 when Number Two arrives! Yikes!) He has perfected his crawling and is all over the place!!! On one hand, it's exciting as he's learning and discovering so much. But on the other, it's a little heartbreaking cause he doesn't want Mama to hold him as much any more. It makes those few minutes before he falls asleep that much more precious. He's also pulling up on EVERYTHING! If it's within the reach of his little paws, he manages to get himself into a standing position against it.

A few mornings ago he took it upon himself to go and meet "the other Kolbe." After finding the standing mirror in our room, he decided to stand up and properly introduce himself to the new fellow! He never thought he'd meet such a handsome little cuss! It's so much fun to watch him discover everything...including himself!

"Hey Ma! Look at me!"

...Wait a minute...who is that?


"Hey there, Little Guy!"

Laura and Mark,

Adorable pics of our grandson. Best baby pics in the world-(Lora says absolutely). We're VERY proud as you can tell. Excited about that next one on the way too. Hoping a little girl for that Kolbe dude to take care of.
