Ronan is 11 months old!

Today, Ronan turned 11 months old! We can't believe that it's only one more month until he's a one-year-old. It's time to start planning his first birthday party!

With the return of nice weather and Ronan's new abilities to move around, this has been a fun month for him. We're getting outside more, including trips to the park.

It was also warm enough to set up a pool in the yard. Daddy and Brielle picked out a new pool to play in, which was a lot of fun.

During this month, Brielle finally received the final items of her new bedroom furniture, including a mirror and bed headboard. It looks beautiful, and she really likes it.

We were very excited this month to have a visit from Barbara, Albert, Jolie, and Willa, who drove up from Eugene. Barbara is my friend Rachael's Mom, and Albert is her brother.

Willa is 16 months old, and completely adorable.

Brielle also received a surprise this month - a belated but wonderful birthday gift from Monica and Mia. They mailed her a big box of dress-up gifts from Florida, as well as a new light-up pillow.
