Blessings

Blessing Day

One sweet baby! On December 6, 2009 we blessed Christian and officially gave him his name:

Christian Reed Pierce.

Mmmm, tasty blankey...

I think he was ready to be done with the photo shoot...

What sweet brothers!

Jared's Birthday

Bowling Party! Jared, Ethan, Max, Lillian, and Tobias.

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Jared!

How the Japanese spell Jared...

What a haul!

Sweet Legos! We had so much fun building this pirate island together. Thanks Grandma Julie and Grandpa Marvin!

Splish Splash

Christian's first bath...

He wasn't sure what to think of it.

Aikido

Scott earned his green belt, advancing from 6th kyu to 4th kyu.














In coming....

Take that you little Japanese girl! Hi Ya!

Jared advanced from unranked to 8th kyu! Way to go Jared!

How's this for a fathers and sons outing?

Hiking Zushi-Taura

Three days after Christian was born Scott decided he couldn't handle being in the house with me any longer so he begged to go hiking...hmmm...I reluctantly agreed because he said he'd take Ethan with him. So, a whole day later I saw the results of our agreement...I think it was a good deal! This is Taura park and the trail to get there from the train station.
