July fun, Olympics, etc.

This picture sums up their relationship. Morgan loving Alyvia (maybe too much) and Alyvia looking at us like "what are you going to do about this??!!?"

She has discovered the tastiness of her toes!

We tried to force a binky on her without luck. She loves her two fingers!

We had a little family Olympic party. This is Morgan enjoying the rings

Festivities, or competitions, sponsored by The Grapes. Morgan won the chipmunk cheek contest.

Derek definitely won the grape carving contest making all sorts of shapes including a perfect star. We didn't get a picture of any of the shapes, only this and the following two pictures.

This was Morgan's favorite, the grape lollipop.

Enjoying the east coast rain.

Enjoying "Cinderella" at the park with her cute friend.

Here are a couple videos. Kind of long and not that exciting, but it is always better to see video than still pictures just to get the live version of Morgan.

In an attempt to keep in contact better with family (mostly so we're not forgotten by living so far away), I will be posting mostly pictures from now on. Hopefully I can keep up better than this past year (which shouldn't be too hard since I didn't post one thing!) So hopefully you get an idea of our lives out here and if you want more details, you can always email/call/txt one of us because we'd love to talk to you!
Here is our greatest moment for the year...inviting Alyvia into our family. She was born and still sleeps with at least one hand up by her head. Der said its because she came into the world in defense of Morgan. Morgan's pretty gentle for her age, but she is only two. Alyvia's still a squishy newborn in this pic, don't worry she gets cuter.
