Luci loses her first tooth (and there's a pretty big one coming in behind it!)

Stin's big teeth and my small head came together in Luci with her new tooth. It will be interesting to see what orthodontic adventures this combo leads to!

She's been working at this tooth - wiggling and jiggling for quite some time now (about 3 weeks). This morning, August 30, it finally popped out and we'll have to wait and see what the Tooth Fairy decides provide in exchange for this pearly white bicuspid.

Scott turns 35!

I don't feel 35. OK, yes I do; I have 5 kids, a pretty serious job, and as I'm preparing to run a half marathon, I'm FEELING IT!! For breakfast my wife made me a delicious, nutritious shake consisting of: Organic: Kale, carrots, celery, yellow bell pepper, beets, banana, blueberries, squash, and bean sprouts, along with some ice and Kefir. Yum diddlyumptious. Oh, and a Soy/Bran/Chocolate cupcake. Hurray! (I guess she wants me to live a long, healthy, and colon cancer free life!) Thanks baby!! Last night we had a great party with the Getz, the Grants, and the Qureshis. First we went to Don Corleone Pizza in Sterling, VA, and then over to the Perils of the Lost Jungle mini golf in Reston. It was AWWWSUM!!

Tate turns 14!!

Hard to believe that our little Tatiana has turned 14. She's a lady. Wow! Tate had a big fiesta with some friends and family on Wednesday, the 20th, and on the morning of her birthday, the 23rd, she got a special pancake breakfast. The picture illustrates her enthusiasm at being treated so exquisitely on her special day!

Sherry and the Eyres come to visit from NYC!!!

Last weekend we were lucky enough to host Sherry Lynn Ellsworth and the Eyre Clan from Manhattan (including the new baby, Lyla Joy Eyre). Yeah, we felt like serious copy cats when Lola was born just a few short weeks later and we named her Lola Jane Hansen!! oops. But there doesn't seem to be too much animosity and the two little ladies got along just fine. I can just seem them hanging some time in the future -- "Hi, I'm Lyla Joy . . . and I'm Lola Jane!" ha ha ha. It was great having Sherry back again after a long hiatus and the Eyres are the coolest most laid back peeps on earth! Love you guys!

Lyla and Lola

Lyla and Lola finally met this weekend and this is just the beginning many, many adventures to come! We love you LJ x 2!

Quick trip to Toronto.

Scott took a quick business trip up to Toronto for 48 hours. What a cool city. It was the smallest feeling big city he's ever visited and incredibly ethnically diverse! I visited the CN Tower, the highest structure in North America, ate Mangosteen, ate some delicious Tacos al Pastor and Corn Fungus Quesadilla (Huitlacoche) and basically tried to squeeze as much "pleasure" as possible out of a "business" trip. Canada rocks, eh!

Grandma Margy comes to visit!

Scott missed out on most of the Margy fun time because he was in Canada, but everybody else got spoiled and pampered with fun outings and yummy super healthy organic veggie shakes! Hopefully grandma will come back soon and share more of her macrobiotic culinary secrets and help set up the new trampoline that's on it's way in the mail!!!

Lola at just over two weeks old . . .

Lola keeps getting bigger and bigger and more aware of her surroundings. Much to the pleasure and relief of her parents, she is also sleeping better at night. These pictures were taken August 6, 2007.
