Duck Face

He's not too young to practice making his duck face.

Todd's 30th Birthday with the family

I had a great time at my parent's house for my 30th birthday!  My dad grilled steaks, I had awesome cake!  My parents got me a new Peyton Manning (Broncos) Jersey that I'm already wearing the next day!  We played some party games.  Tristin is really bad at charades, but Derek somehow guessed them a lot.  Ellie stole everyone's Leis.  Grandpa Jerry was in town with Lenny which was a treat.

Pardon all the sideways pictures, technical difficulties...

Some thanks

Not too many pics of Sarah yet, but she has lost a lot of baby weight already.

Locke got a ton of gifts from family and my work.

Sarah and I really appreciate all the gifts and food that we have received this week.  Sarah Rayfield, Grandma Ross, and Aunt Tristin have all given us tons of food that helped us make it through this first week at home.  We also appreciate the baby gifts that the Whelehons, the krolls, my grandma Sandy, the Harpers, the Jacksons, and my office at Announce Media.

Kitchen Remodel: Before and after pics

Everything is finished on the kitchen other than a couple really tiny odds and ends that we are waiting for. like, we need some extra shelf pins and things like that.  Without further ado, pics!

We added a cabinet above the toilet to act as the medicine cabinet.

We also added drawers under the sink for extra storage.

At the last minute we decided to bring the same cabinets into the laundry room as well.

We also added some white custom shelves for the laundry stuff.

Locke is born!

At 2:08pm on April 6th, Toby Locke Ross was born.  He weighed 8lbs 3.9oz and was 20.5 inches long.  So far him and mommy are doing great.  Locke has the sniffles that he already got from his big sister, but he is doing ok and mommy is recovering quickly from the c-section.  They will both be coming home on Tuesday!

Siblings!

Rockin out!

I think this is my favorite picture so far!

Kitchen Finished!

The kitchen is finished!  Huge thanks to Charlie and Steve for being such great contractors working on our kitchen.  Technically they aren't done since we added the custom pantry and laundry room shelves, but the kitchen itself is finished.

I'll add before/after pictures after I recover from locke's birth.
