New Family Member

We also welcomed a new family member this weekend. Larry finally got his new truck - Ford F150 of course and I think he's in love. Great Father's Day gift huh?

Here he is with his new baby.

First Haircut

Well the day has finally come. We can no longer ignore our little Megan's baby mullet. Though very hesitant, Larry and I took Megan to get her first haircut. Tears were expected and maybe some yelling but we were amazed at how well she handled it. She got to drive in a firetruck chair and watch The Little Mermaid all while her hair was getting a much needed trim.

AFTER (note the adorable bow)

I am amazed daily at how fast she is growing up! She is truly a big girl and now she looks the part.

Playhouses and Potty Chairs

Megan's Big Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend was a big one for Megan. We all went to the zoo on Saturday where she saw elephants, giraffes, and tortoises. Amazingly the one animal she kept asking for was a cow, which she sees everyday behind our house. Katelyn also had a good time doing what babies do best - she slept.

For her birthday, Megan got a playset which her daddy has been diligently building each weekend. This weekend he finished her swing set and she lived outside swinging and going down the slide.

And (the big news) today Megan went potty on her potty chair for the very first time! We are very excited for her. Today we will be going shopping for big girl underpants! Hopefully we can find some with Minnie Mouse on them.

Katelyn Grace Snyder

Well, I have been lax in my posting. Since my last post, the Snyder family has grown by 1. Katelyn Grace was born on April 15th and weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz. Since then she has done nothing but grow. At her one month appointment she weighed in at 9 lbs. 10 oz.

Megan is an amazing big sister who is very gentle with Katelyn - not that we had any doubt. Megan also had a big day. She turned 2 years old on May 4th. My dad was in town and my mom came over to celebrate. Unfortunately we couldn't have a party with all of her friends because it was so soon after Katie came home. We hope to have all of her little friends over soon to make up for it.

Valentine's Day

Megan got a special gift from her valentine, her Daddy.

Aunt Tina's Visit

Last week we had a wonderful visit with Larry's sister, Tina. She flew in from Florida and spent the week with us.

We got to spend an afternoon at the park, which Megan absolutely loves. She gets free rein and just runs from place to place.

But I think all the excitement tired her out....


She had so much fun she had to call all her friends to tell them about it.

House Pics

Our house is coming along amazingly fast. In the past few days that have hung our cabinets and begun painting the inside. Below are a few pictures of the outside now that the brick and the majority of the stone work is completed.

We are under contract to sell our existing house, which is very exciting. The new owners are to close on February 28th. Please keep us in your prayers that the closing goes smoothly.
