Baby Steps

Here is some video of Lotty taking some baby steps.  Note that she claps at the end.

Aquariums, Hiking and Drool

We all went to the aquarium in May, when Grammy and Grandpa Brown were up for a visit.  We also got out for a little hike at Larrabee State Park.  It was a little wet and cold, but Lotty seemed to enjoy the hike through the forest.


Here are some new portraits of Lotty looking very cute and showing that she has lots of teeth.  She enjoys biting food now, even though she still can't really chew.  All those teeth coming in gives her reason to drool.

Mother's Day

We have some pictures from Mother's Day that we wanted to share.  Lotty and Elizabeth were both very cute in matching pink tops.  Max wanted to get in on the shot, too.  The last picture shows how big Lotty is getting.  She is pretty much as tall as the trees in our backyard.  It was really nice to enjoy being outside in our yard with the sun shining.






The day before, Lotty had some fun with prunes.  Nothing like a good Saturday morning prune facial to get the day started.

Fun on the Swing

Lotty tried the swing for the first time the other day.  We walked to the park just down the street from our house where they have a few swings.  She seemed to have fun, even though it was a little chilly out.  This was about at 6 PM, so the sun was just going down.











Paul & his new bike

Pictures of me and/on my new bike are on the web.  You can find them here:




The bike is a real joy to ride, though I have only been able to put about 330 miles on it so far, between weather and spending time with Lotty.


For those that are curious, it is a lugged steel frame with polished, stainless steel lugs that were pinned during the brazing process.  It is built up with the Campagnolo Athena 11sp gruppo and very classic Mavic rims (open pro) and Brooks leather saddle (B-17 with copper rivets).

Snow Camp (Belated)

Sorry this has taken so long to get up.  Paul was sick for a little while and we have all been busy with work stuff.  Well, I guess not Lotty.  Maybe she should have updated the blog.


We went to our church snow camp back in February.  Basically, it is a time to go up to the church camp, which has cabins and a lodge and most of the amenities of home, and hang out and enjoy the snow.  This was our first one with Lotty.  She looks adorable in her pink snowsuit.  This was also her first time riding around in the backpack, which worked pretty well.





Here are some other pictures of the snow that turned out pretty nicely:
