Beautiful, beautiful cherry blossoms!

Lenox and Lincoln

I went to visit the nephews last week to see how much they had grown. Lincoln is completely different from Lenox, he smiles all the time and rarely stops moving. Don't let those chubby thighs fool you, he's 20 pounds of muscle! He's also quite the talker and will go on and on about his day if he can get your undivided attention. I love the way his nose wrinkles when he smiles!

Lenox still has the cutest profile I've ever seen!
Lincoln, almost 4 months and Lenox, a little over 2 years.

Lenox is quite the attentive big brother and just adores Lincoln. Hopefully the feeling will be mutual. :)

New Zealand

My recent trip to New Zealand was amazing! I highly recommend New Zealand for it's cozy B&Bs, friendly people, tasty food, amazing scenery and incredible adventure sports! Certainly a change from my normal long hours at the computer. :)
I keep getting requests for pictures, but there's been a lot to catch up on this week before I could look at my own pictures. I finally was able to start sorting though the tons of images and picked out the "best of the best" scenery shots to make a coffee table book. Here they are!
