playdate with friends

Cassy, Anja, and Lily got together for a playdate and some lunch. It was fun to see how all the kids interacted. The moms enjoyed talking and catching up with each other. It is really nice to have other moms to talk to about things.

Anja played Peek-a-boo with me and the camara.


Adorable Lily watched and tried doing whatever Anja and Cassy did. Lily and Cassy had great fun with the blinds.

Ode to Ye Ol' Civic

The Civic is gone! Within 24 hours of posting on CRAIGSLIST, the car was sold. I had the car for about a month short of 10 years. Old Red got me around to here, there, and everywhere for 154,000 miles. I will forever remember you...sniff. -Bryan

Jack and Alex sleepover

Alex and Jack Wells spent the weekend at the Raymond house. They had their first sleepover of many with their cousin, Cassy. Friday night, they each made their own personal pizzas.... whatever toppins'.


We all had a great time and hope to have more sleepovers in the future. It was fun!

April Fool's!!!??

So, here are some pics of our recent ultrasound of the unborn Raymond. What a thrill this was for us! We found out the gender.
YES, IT is a BOY!!! The doctor and tech both agreed.... that if wasn't a boy they would be very shocked. How exciting! What a blessing this is to our little Raymond family! It is amazing how quickly your family can grow from two to four in just a few short years. Here are some of the U/S pics.
