How my kids look alike!

It is fun to see Daniel Nouwen's expressions and remember Sophia at this age.

These are Sophia at around 6months

Now here is Daniel Nouwen

What's a mom to say? Are they cute or what!

Kiddo Update

Well, I wish I was better at this, how do people with kids find time to take a shower, let alone blog! We all have been sick, so I have not been sleeping. This means nap time is nap time for me, too, not post on the blog time.
Sophia has been very busy this summer. She has lost another tooth, made up a myriad of dances to High School Musical songs, loves to fish, and is starting a zoo in my backyard! We have caught a turtle, grasshoppers, daddy longleg, tadpoles, frogs, toads, snails, moths, butterflies and even a caterpillar that we watched transform into a chrysalis and then butterfly!

Daniel Nouwen loves to suck his toes. I am so proud! He is sitting up now and has no interest in being on his tummy and trying to crawl. He lights up the minute he sees Sophia, which is a really good thing since she tends to be in his face quite a bit! Imagine that!

Steve and I are starting to get the hang of being the parents of 2 kids. It still is wierd for me to use the word "son"! What an amazing gift from God! Date night is nil, but on our "to do list"....

July is a busy Birthday month. It started with Annie Grace. Cousin Morgan Curtis turned 5 on the 14th. Angel Perez would have turned 18 on the 17th. (Please pray for the Perez family. Angel was murdered 2 years ago and his family doesn't go a day without grieving the devestating loss. May they feel God's presence in what has been several difficult years!) Uncle David Soll's birthday is the 24th. Friend Jeri O'Connor is the 25th, and my mom's is the 26th. (I won't put years!:) Happy Birthday all!

Happy Birthday Annie Grace

Happy Birthday Annie Grace! AG is 1 year old today. She is my precious neice (daughter of sister Lizzy) and I can't imagine life without her...what a blessing she is!

These are the sweet cousins at Annie Grace's birthday party.

Sophia (6.5), Daniel Nouwen (5.5mo), Isaiah (7 mo.) and Annie Grace (1yr).

Isaiah is the newest answer to prayer in our family (son of my brother Daniel and his wife Kara)

Daniel Nouwen is almost as big as Annie Grace. We are waiting to see which of the three babies is the first to knock the other ones out!

Welcome to our Blog!

I am new to the blog scene, but wanted family and friends to be up to speed on all of the Soll household drama and great photo ops. I am starting with a catch up of our eventful year!

Enjoy!
