fascination.

we have a deep fascination with our son. no matter what he's doing, just by being him.

home from work.

this very well may be lane's most favorite time of day...when daddy comes through the back door. dad's home.

swim.

lane went to his first mommy and me swim class and loved it. constant smiles, giggles, kicking, splashes. a full 45 minutes of happiness.

i didn't have my camera so these were taken with the cell phone after we got out of the pool. look at his little swim trunks...

family.

leo, debby, britney, blake and brooke all came to our house wednesday. it was so much fun. after lane woke up from his nap he was very skeptic on who was in his house. after starring them down each for quite some time he remembered they were the people we always go visit in kansas, so he soon warmed up to them. vance and i both cherish the leo dale reimer family, after spending anytime with them you feel encouraged and better about life and what God is doing in your life. we both have said that we wish we lived closer to them!

park.

this is how lane felt about there being no baby swings at the park behind our house. such a bummer!

"mom, i'm going home"

"dad helps me climb trees in the yard"

chicken legs.

and he was almost 9lbs?! look at those legs!

the day he came home from the hospital...

my ultimate favorite photo. he still makes this face when he sleeps. ah, so cute. 4 days old...

so good.

grandpa and grandma ferry came to visit us...scratch that all out.
grandpa and grandma ferry came to visit lane in colorado. we loved having them here in our new home. they helped unpack boxes, get organized, and of course had a healthy dose of adoring lane. it felt so good to have a "family" feel in the house. even more, vance and i both felt like we relaxed for the first time in a long time. lane loved the dogs but they did not return the favor. he full out giggled at them throughout the weekend and so we in turn all giggled too. did i mention how much we enjoyed having them here? because we did. so good.
people we look foward to seeing...
-leo and debby and fam coming to our house on wednesday
-grandma kay coming for the weekend
-grandpa dave, grandma kay and ryan coming in april
-renee coming and getting her hair colored?
-jason and lindsey and shelby coming may 2
-may 16...lane's first birthday. you are all invited!

grandma comes bearing toys.

what a boy.


we went to a small little cafe in castle rock. (so good) lane loved the stuffed buffalo mounted on the wall. he thought it was just too funny and had to touch it...which can be dangerous when he almost pulls it off the wall.


grandma love.

family love.


grandpa love.



look at those top teeth!! within the past 2 weeks he's popped up 3 teeth. i'm very thankful we don't remember teething as adults because it's brutial.

daddy is so proud of his little basketball player. just beaming.
