old fashion picture dump

So I know I am going against grain, but I'm really losing excitement for blogging. I tried threatening Melanie (who enjoys the blog much more than I do) that I was quitting, but she certainly won't do it. So until I can find a way to program my computer to automatically update the pictures straight from my camara, I'm stuck.

So real quick, here's an update:
- Minnesota has been wonderful so far--awesome neighbors, neighborhood, and city we live in
- Rylie is army crawling and eating everything in sight
- Brendan is 90% potty trained (during the day--haven't even bothered with night time)
- Melanie is excited for her first non-family cut and color in her new salon. She's got a pretty sweet set-up in the garage, which serves as a fun hobby (and makes a great slush fund--if only she'd share those funds with the one who gets stuck hanging all the equipment, painting the garage floor, and giving it a healthy cleaning every so often...)
- I really like my new job--I'm working on some quite interesting growth strategies. Although, I keep longing for the day when I have a five minute walk to work.
I feel like I'm writing a Christmas card. Ugh.
Let's be honest, all anyone cares about is seeing pictures of the kids. So here you go...enjoy.


































This is a comparison of Rylie and Brendan at roughly the same age in life. Can you tell they're siblings?
