Sister and brother - around Amanda's first birthday last month (March '06) 

Russell and Amanda - October '05. Note the "death grip" Amanda had on Russell. 

Russell Cam is Back

You are now looking at the Family Room of the new house. Russell and Amanda usually hang out there around meal time. You can also see Lori on the computer. Refreshes every minute.

Progress

Amanda, the newborn with an attitude, has been growing and pitching her voice in, day or night. Russell is picking up words left and right and providing non-stop comic relief ("Pots! Pans! Ooooh Hot!! Iron! Oooh Hot!! It's Daddy's Shoes! Daddy's TV! Daddy Farts!! Bless You!! Thank you! No bottle! No please!! Shit! Shit! Shit!!") We really have to watch our language with him around.
