So here are some stories behind the words:

Ryder Harrington Green was born on March 21. He is an amazingly sweet and happy baby. He rarely gets upset and is a chub!! We love him and affectionately call him Rydoo. Caden likes to wrestle with him and feed him. He is crawling and pulling up on things now, loves to giggle at Caden (who loves to get him going) and is such a completion to our family.

Caden, also known as Bonies, turned 2 in May. He seems way beyond a toddler. He will tell you, "I'm not a baby, I'm a KID!" Emphasis on kid in a nice screaming type voice. He is all boy - completely into trains, diggers and dumpers, firetrucks and did I say trains? He moved to his big boy firetruck bed that Pete and his dad Stan built in March.

We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary in August and this November marked ten years together! That is crazy.

Kim has really taken a liking to shooting in studio, making use of good friend Michelle Jones' space as well as her own DIY set up. She also did all photography for a cookbook which will be out in February. She also had an editor from a magazine contact her out of the blue to write a story on her TableShotz. See more info on this on her blog: www.kimberlybrooke.com/blog

Pete has lost over 50lbs. on Weight Watchers and looks amazing!!! Being that Pete is almost 30, he decided to get fit. He is in Seminary at Capital Bible Seminary and loving it. He has tons of commentaries all over the house. He has also been preaching more at Uniontown Bible Church. It has been very cool to see his own style develop.

I Shoot My Kids - a new side project Kim is working on to help moms take better photos of their kids. That is just a teaser as a big unveiling is to come!

Camping - We hauled our 1984 Citation all over this year so Ryder could experience the camping lifestyle. We went to Jellystone in Luray, WV for a whole week, traveled to Amish Country and stayed at Spring Gulch (where Kim had her first real camping trip). While there, we visited Big Train - which is Caden's name for the Strasburg Railroad. A train he had seen in one of his train videos and was able to ride. He is now obsessed with watching a little playlist I made on YouTube of train videos from Strasburg and other scenic RRs.

Minivan conversations - yes, it has happened. The conversation has started. All we can say is Honda Odyssey is in the future. We are not ashamed. And all of you out there shaking your heads, never say never.

That is a brief recap. Lots missing and totally non-chronological. But, hey, with 2 kids now, our life is different. And we're loving every minute.
