The past few years. . .

 We got married and moved to Seattle. 

We adopted a cat,  Guu. 

Then we bought a house.

We adopted a dog, Rex. 

Lots of family fun.

Even more family fun.

We recruited our nephew Leaf to announce our big news to the family.

We were lucky to have a healthy baby on the way!

Odin Fuller Eriksen was born August 22, 2008. 

Just a few weeks old.

First trip to the library.

Tummy time with Aunt Tammy and Mommy.

Bonding with Grandpa Ron.

Cousin Leaf loves his Odin!

Big smiles.

Mr. Blue Eyes.

Time with Daddy.

Easter with Mariana.

Our hearts broke when my dad Ron died from brain cancer. We hold him in our hearts.

Odin learned to walk.

Odin turned 1! 

We participated in the LIVESTRONG walk in honor of Odin's Grandpa Ron. 

Odin let everyone know he was going to be a big brother.

Odin turned 2!

We even managed a big night out before the baby came. 

A second pregnancy was a bit harder with some major morning sickness and a toddler to chase around all day long.

Taran Ronald Eriksen was born on January 17, 2011. 

Brothers met for the first time. 

And we became a family of four!
