Not worth posting...

but I'll do it anyway. My Camera is really frustrating me because I think the sensor's going out on it. It can't handle the dark like it used to and the focus always seems off to me. Still, here are some pictures of the tree trimming we did today:

Walk with Josh

Josh and I took a walk today and found some things to take pictures of.

Luke and Josh Photo Op

So here are some of the more "Professional" looking pictures I said I was going to try with Luke. Josh got a few shots in as well. Thanks to Tina and Eric for hanging out with us tonight. I'm way excited to see the shots that Tina got.

Tough questions

"So, how did it go sanding the red off the coffee table?"

...

Lucas needs to ponder on it a bit:

New Pictures of the kids

I'm still planning to do some more professional looking pics of Luke than I've posted - maybe this weekend - but in the meantime, Grandma Parker asked for updated pictures of the kids, so We took these today:

Other Big things from the past few weeks

Luke's arrival isn't all that's happened in the past few weeks! On the 16th of September, Josh turned 2 years old. He is now the proud owner of a new Trike.

So far he doesn't really ride it yet - his feet don't quite stay on the pedals all the way through their circle, but he likes it and as soon as he grows a bit more, he'll finally be able to keep up with his siblings.

Also, a day after Levi's birthday, which was the 23rd of September, he "learned to ride a two-wheeler!

Notice how it's all fuzzy and I couldn't get the wheels in the picture? That's because he was moving way too fast! I took the training wheels off and gave the bike back to him, expecting to have to deal with a lot of falls and crying, but he hopped on and rode away, giggling all the way. Amazing! I'm proud of you for figuring it all out yourself, Levi! GREAT JOB!

Thanks to everyone who came, we really enjoyed your visits!

Lucas Andrew Nielson

Lucas was born this morning at 6:26 am, weighing 7 pounds 14 ounces and measuring 19 inches long. He's our biggest baby, beating out Josh's record by 3 ounces.

Ensign Peak trek

We decided to hike Ensign Peak last saturday for some family fun, to test the new lens, get some exercise, and hopefully put Erin into Labor. We accomplished all of that except putting her into labor. It was a 3 hour round trip when a healthy adult can usually do it in 1, but it was a lot of fun.

I'm not so happy with some of the pictures - they're not really prize-winners, but they're good memories just the same.
