Baby Charmer

Derek has a natural ability to calm babies in any situation. It's actually an awesome talent to have seeing as we'll have children of our own someday. Derek's basically a live-in snake charmer for kids. When our children won't stop crying, I simply will do the 'ole hand-off to Derek and let him work his magic! This trait will be taken full advantage of whenever possible in my house!


The little one in these pictures is my high school friend, Beth's, new little girl; Lotus Charlotte. . She was born June 3rd and weighed in at 10 pounds, 1 oz! She has the cutest, squishy wrinkles and pretty blue eyes. As much as Jeff doesn't want to admit it, I think she's got a red tint to her hair, just like her mother.

Thanks Beth for letting us visit the newest of your family members!
