Michaela's first steps

Little girl is finally starting to venture into the world of 'walking upright' - God help us! She get's around so fast crawling, I can't imagine where she'll be once she can run around! It is really neat to see my little girl getting bigger -

please don't date until you are out of college(!)

Mother's Day Photos

Better late than never; Here some photos that were snapped this last Mother's Day, nearly tw0 weeks ago:

Andrew's 4th Birthday (4-21)

Here are photos from Andrew's recent 4th birthday - In fact he had 2 'birthdays', one in Mineola on the 19th and one in Denver on his actual birthday, the 21st. Susan and the kids came back from Texas on the 21st, so after picking them up from the airport, we had cake and presents. Andrew has taken to his new 'ride' very quickly, and he loves to ride. We are certainly blessed - now we have a 1 year old and a 4 year old on our hands!

(There are 3 pics at the end that show me laughing pretty big and Andrew in 'awe' - we were watching his new Tom and Jerry DVD, a particular cartoon that I probably hadn't seen since I was 8...)

Michaela's One-Year-Old Birthday Extravaganza!

Last Sunday was our baby daughter's first birthday - How blessed we are to have her with us, and it's still hard to imagine that it's already been a year since we went up to Sweedish Hospital and came back with a 6 lb, 13 oz little sweetheart that cried for (what seemed like) nearly 2 months straight! I still call her 'my little dinosaur' sometimes, btw! Now she waves, calls my name (dadadadada), and is all over the house, crawling, pulling up on things, getting into her big brother's toys!

Thanks to family and friends that sent presents or wished us well; Here's to the joy of seeing many, many more Michaela birthdays in the future!

"Jesus Loves Me" from the Laundry Basket

Another song, from a few days ago. This time, from the laundry basket(!)

"Blue Skies and Rainbows", 3-26-09

Another version of a now-familiar Wylie household classic - just imagine how many times we've heard this one since that last post in August(!) But we are very proud of our little song-bird and hope he's always this happy!

Backyard Fun

We really haven't had what you can call a 'proper Winter' here in Denver...yesterday was in the 70s, so we got outside a bit in the afternoon.. Michaela will be one year old this coming Sunday, by the way...
