Muscle Men

John and Jack love to play this game where Jack balances on John's hands and he lifts him up in the air. It used to scare the crap out of me but I have finally realized that John isn't going to break the boy. I also love this picture becasue it shows how Abe is fulfilling his little brother duties and distracting daddy at the critical moment.

This time Jack decided that he wanted to have a turn lifting daddy up. It was so funny to see John standing on Jack's hands. Jack was absolutely convinced that he could lift him if he tried hard enough. These two have so much fun playing with each other. I hope that lasts forever!

My blue eyed sunshine

These blue eyes kill me. I just want to kiss his face off. We recently discovered that the only way to make Abe sit still is to put him in grass. I don't know if he just doesn't like the feeling on his knees but he will sit in exactly the same place indefinitely. It makes me want to install a patch of grass in the living room! He is always on the move. He climbs the stairs every chance he gets and he knows hes not supposed to so he hurrys really fast hoping we won't notice him. He is so much fun to raise.

Is it just me or is one of these kids a giant?

So, Jack finished swim lessons and he got this cute little certificate of completion with this picture on it. I laughed out loud when I saw it because Jack is the same age as all of these kids and he is so much bigger. Its funny because I know he is a big kid, but you don't really see it until he is with a bunch of other kids his age. Recently John asked him if he was going to play football in college. Jack's response: "No, I'm gonna be in the band." At least he will be big enough to play the tuba if he wants.

Sisters!

Recently Stephanie came down for a visit and it was so fun to hang out. Kristen and I always have so much fun together but it was nice to have the trio of Haws girls complete even if it was just for one day. I have two things to say about this picture: #1 I have the best sisters in the world. #2 Why am I the only one who was born with no pigment in my skin? Sometimes I swear I am an albino.

This is a picture of the three new babies together. Abe and Talan are born less than a day apart and Clark is 4 months after them. I hope these three grow up to be best friends. Since all of my siblings are done having babies this is tha last batch that will have cousins the same age. Aren't they cute!

My girlfriend Brenda got Abe this shirt. I thought it was appropriate!

SUPER BABY

Okay, so one thing I know for sure...A six month old baby has no business walking around. Abe didn't get this memo though because he is obsessed with standing up and walking along the furniture to explore the house. He even climbs the stairs when he gets the chance. Unfortunately he tends to fall alot and I swear he hits his head a hundred times a day. So my girlfriend Britney saw him bonking his head all day long and she lent me her "thudguard". The first time I saw one of these things I thought it was so ridiculous but now that I have a baby who is bound to give himself brain damage, I'm sold. The amazing thing is that he doesn't even try to take it off and he seems to like it. I think the best part is the ears on top. Hopefully he'll get a little more balance soon, but until then he has to wear the helmet around the house. He looks a tiny bit special ed but we love him anyway!

Didi got married!

I just got an email today from our old au pair Monika Krol. She just got married to the guy she met while she was our nanny here in Arizona. She is living in Atlantic City, New Jersey and she says it is her dream to move back to Arizona. Isn't that crazy? The funny thing is that she dated this guy while she lived here but she never seemed that serious about him, obviously that changed! SHe wants us to go to Poland for the big c Catholic hurch wedding in September. Now I just need to scrape up a few thousand dollars.
