Tirzah meets Grandpa Pedersen, Miracle photo considering she doesn't really like other people holding her and especially men. She was very tired from a LONG day in the hotel parking lot waiting for road side assistance to help with our tire. blah!Levi had a great time visiting the Great Grandparents ......
chocolate and animals nothing better.

Great Grandma Gilman meeting Tirzah for the first time, thanks Tirzah for letting her hold you. She sure did love you. Second time seeing levi, the first being when he was 4 wks old.

If I wouldn't be updating this blog 7 months late I would have written, Here is Tirzah trying to roll over it will probably be soon...however, I know differently since she just rolled over for the first time in April 9,2009 ....at 9 months old. Good Job Baby!

We stayed in a hotel on our way to Oklahoma in witchita and had some fun. This is the first time we had ever slept with Levi in our bed because Tirzah was in the pack-n-play and it is safe to say we were not missing much.....other than sleep that is. We both woke up sooo many times to turn Levi back to a normal sleeping position. When we woke up Joe woke up to Levi's feet in his face.
