Cousin Cameron was born today!!

Cameron Sarah Kieffer

September 25th @ 11:11 AM

6 pounds 4 ounces, 20 inches

Congrats to new parents Sabrina and Joey!

This officially makes 2008 the year of the girl for our family with Riley born in March, cousin Sadie born in June and now baby Cameron in September. Nate needs a boy cousin next time ;)!

So precious!

I teared up when I first saw this picture. Joey was always a little unsure when he held Nate and Riley when they were newborns but he looks so sweet with Cameron. Watch out Joe...your little daughter already has you wrapped around her finger!

The Kieffer family: Cameron, Sabrina (looking amazing after just giving birth!), and Joey!

Lil' Kickers

Nate started Lil' Kickers soccer program a few weeks ago...which for the 2 year-olds is mostly a lot of running around while occasionally throwing or kicking a soccer ball. He loves parachute time at the end.

Here are Nate and his buddy Ethan at soccer. They met when Nate was 4 months old and Ethan was 3 months old...their little sisters watch from the sidelines but soon they will be old enough to play too! :)

Riley is sitting up so well these days...and looking mighty cute as always!

The Iyer girls are getting old!

Riley is 6 months old today! We celebrated with a trip to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and by giving Riley her first sweet treat - mashed bananas! And I got a little older this month too - I am the big 3-0 now!

Mmmmm....bananas are delicious!

At 6 months Riley is 25 1/2 inches tall (45%) and weighs in at 13lbs 14 oz (10%) and is 100% adorable.

Nate doesn't like to eat very much but he sure enjoys feeding Riley.

Happiness!

Today was the first day Riley got to sit in the big stroller without being in her carseat.

Mommy is 30! Mesh took me to see Dave Matthews at the Gorge in George, WA to celebrate the end of my 20's, we went out to a nice dinner the weekend before my birthday and then on the big day we went out for a family dinner. Life is good and so far I'm digging my 30's!

Seaside w/ the Ludlows

We spent the long weekend in Seaside, OR with the Ludlows at their condo on the beach. It was nonstop action for the kids - exploring the beach, splashing in the pool, running along the boardwalk, swinging on the beach, and playing together! Thanks for having us Kara and Clint!

A rare moment when all 4 kids were sitting down! Riley (5 1/2 months), Matt (3 1/2), Nate (2), Grace (20 months)

Everyone playing at the beach.

The kids loved to jump in the holes that Clint dug up...and there were many!
