Photo shoot

Many thanks to Josh & Amanda Busche for coming to our house for a photo shoot. The girls were not the easiest subjects to shoot, but they did a great job- mommy thinks they look pretty angelic!!

Our beautiful family

Aunt Jilly gets hitched!!!

Our lovely bride- Aunt Jilly- was married on 9/11/10. We couldn't be more excited to welcome Jesus in to our family.

We can't wait to post more photos of the new Mr. & Mrs. Hernandez!!!

Getting to know our new digs!!!

It's hard to believe we moved in 1 month ago. We've been so busy and we have yet to even pose for a photo outside our new home as a family. We are just starting to get things finally put together. The Silly Stilles welcome guests to our digs- come join us in North Liberty. We'd love to see you!

catching up...

In the craziness, the blog has been neglected for 3 months- yikes! We will be taking a break again soon, as we are "between" houses and cities... here and there a while and a the mercy of a construction crew as they finish out a 4th bedroom in the basement of our new house in North Liberty, IA. Sure, it's been stressful and trying but we've managed to really enjoy our summer too! Here are some random photos from our last summer in Omaha...

red & bulging...

It could be a Stille record, both girls have had red, bulging ear infections in both ears over the past week. Tessa went in for her 4 month check and was healthy save for the ears, and Tatum has had nothing but ear infections since November. We had already scheduled her second set of tubes along with an adenoidectomy per recommendation from our ENT physician. Today our pediatrician suggested that it might be in her best interest to try to move that June 1 date up a little if possible. So since I have the "in" with Tatum's ENT doc, they are going to try to add her in on a Friday morning when I have the day off. I know this stuff is no big deal, but we all know it is just the worst seeing the pain in your child's eyes. Especially when you didn't realize it until they were really hurting because they are such troopers. Mom has an otoscope at home now, so we will have to begin weekly ear inspections.... line em up!

Tatum did get to spend the morning with mommy at work before her Dr. appointment. She learned about what an "office" is and a "copier". We even photocopied her hand which she thought was majorly cool.

A month in review... 3-4 months old

March 20th- Eating snow, and busting out the bubbles!!!! Tatum couldn't get enough!

She's discovered her feet and is starting to roll from her tummy to her back.... So big!!!
