Last weekend, we picked apples at the Eplegaarden.
I think we all had fun.

Esther’s Breakfast
12-Sep-08
Esther’s growing up and quickly and no where is that more evident than breakfast. She can feed herself now and is pretty sure about what she wants.
So, I taped a typical morning breakfast. If you’re not family you may want to skip this one. There’s nothing super exciting here. Just a toddler eating her breakfast.
Enjoy!
Welcome Katya
09-Sep-08
This morning, at 11:25a, CDT, we welcome Katherine Elizabeth Martin into our family. She was 7lbs 11oz, 18 inches long, and perfectly healthy. We’re happy that she’s finally here — although I think Mom is a little happier than Dad!
We’re uploading pictures of Katya to our Flickr! site.
This afternoon, I took Esther up to visit her new baby sister. I was a bit worried about how she’d react — she tends to be more than bit rough with her baby dolls. A newborn is small enough and — when sleeping — still enough to be mistaken for a baby doll.
I needn’t have worried. Esther seemed to recognize right away who Katya was. She took to her immediately and kept asking me to hold her up so she could see Katya better. She even asked to hold her 3 or 4 times. For now, I think they’ll get along great.
I finally let her hold Katya and she had a blast. Watch and see:
