A Glimpse into our life with Levi, Felix, Gus and Hank!

Della who is an amazing photographer from Seattle and has shot our family several times now was in town and popped by the house to grab some snapshots of the boys, John and I.  Mind you these were taken on a Friday at 4pm during 1 hour and she still managed to capture everyone's personalities.

Levi 4 years old, Felix 2 years old and Baby Gus 5 months old

 

 

A bit of English for a week....Darren's in town!

Our dear friend Darren visited us for a week, and we didn't want him to leave. Also one of 3 boys, he fit right in. Levi loved playing with him, Felix took to reading with him, and Baby Gus was happy to be snuggled. And then there's Hank; a love affair that started in London and continued in LA; Hank didn't leave Darren's side.

A Weekend with the Baker Fam!

Our dear friends Justin, Laura, Ruby, and Calvin came for a weekend; it was so much fun, we didn't want them to leave! They were only with us for 3 days, but we packed in a ton and even had time to just hang and be silly.
