Happy 3rd Birthday, Brady!

Brady turned 3 years old on March 4th. Where has the time gone? He has turned into quite the amazing little man and we couldn't ask for a better son. Although, he isn't so little - he measured above the 95th percentile at his 3 year check-up weighing in at 40 lbs and 40 inches tall. We love you, Brady Barrett Holderman!

Baseball Season!

Brady got a baseball tee for his birthday, so he started learning how to hit the ball off of the tee. Even though Mommy and Daddy are both left-handed batters and showed him their way, he immediately turned to bat righty.

Gotta Love Little Girls!

Lucy's new favorite thing to do? What else? Dress up! :-)

Pennsylvania 2010

Andrea and the kids went on a trip to Pennsylvania with Andrea's family to visit Brady and Lucy's Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Barrett. Everyone had fun and the kids made it through the 35+ hours in the car without a problem!

One of the best public restroom ideas EVER! It's hard for a parent to go to the bathroom with a little one on their lap (trust me, I had to do it many times on this trip)!

Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year. Andrea made costumes for the whole family from scratch. The kids had fun trick-or-treating, but even more fun handing out candy at our front door. Mommy and Daddy even had fun at their Halloween party!
