Easter 2013 at my parents home.
They set up an Easter egg hunt in their backyard. Elizabeth didn't know quite what to think or what to do until we pointed to the eggs and said, "Clean up." She started putting the eggs into her basket. Priceless!
At the Columbus Zoo for ZooLights!
Elizabeth's first picture with Santa.
For the first time, when we handed her to someone she didn't know, she actually broke into instant tears. At least is made for an iconic photo op.
Family fall fun. Going on our first hayride!
At the top of "Jacob's Ladder," one of the MANY obstacle course elements at CHBOLC (Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course). I was gone for three months for training.
Swearing in as a Chaplain Candidate into the Ohio Army National Guard.
The final picture message Krista sent right before they got off the plane and we were reunited after training.
Skyping with Elizabeth while I'm away.
This is our new little family. Elizabeth is about 1 month old here.
Since we are good friends with our Starbucks staff, we've joked about framing this picture with the caption, "Starbucks Customer Loyalty Program - Start them when they're young" or something like that!
Just days home from the hospital. I think we look pretty good for as little sleep as we've had!
