Brandt Alexander Knoebel

Baby brother was born on June 3, 2010 at 4:01 am in the Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, UT.

He weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. and measured 19.5 in. in length.

We've never seen anyone able to urinate so well.

Here he is a week before arrival:

At 5 am our first night home:



We adore this boy!

Allie likes him too, we just haven't captured her in a picture just yet.

I'll post more pictures soon.

A Quick April Update

Hiking the Y:


Edie and Allie would stop every 5 steps to take a gander...and I didn't mind one bit.

We made it!

A visit to ID to see baby Norah, the newest cousin!

Baby Boy No Name Knoebel (should be arriving in 5 weeks):

Nate is 30!!

Let it be known how much I love Nate, as I'm actually posting on the blog again in honor of him.

Nate is a stud, as everyone knows...especially Jason.
Hardest worker I've ever seen.


Coolest Dad ever.


Maniac in the kitchen (homemade tamales).


Spreading his engineer-ness to the whole world.



Beloved by mankind and animalkind.


HAPPY 30th!
I love you.

Edie

Edie is a princess


Who is learning to do lots of new things,




And makes her parents very proud.


And now Edie has a new look.
Woo-woo!

Making a mess



Making another mess.

At the airport waiting for Wally

Seeing Wally's crate





Edie did her own hair to go to the park:

I think it looks marvelous. She even remembered to comb.

And, she put on her own shoes (on the wrong feet).

A room in transformation

Nate is installing windows as I type. You can see the huge difference in this picture.


We're not quite done painting the trim, but you can see how beautiful this section is.

Nate also installed new sconces above the fireplace. We just need to finish the trim, paint the radiators, and replace the furniture and this room will be finished!
