Hot Air

Captain Chaos (Eli) and Princess Mayhem (Kjersti) discovered what they think to be the secret source of their super powers... the bicycle pump. Unfortunately, it did not yield the desired effect and has instead left them only with the funny taste of rubber in their mouths.

Tips From Big Sister to Baby Sister

When you burb and spit up, just smile like that afterwards and everyone will TOTALLY adore you!

When I was a baby, I looked just like you. Hey, is that my old onesie?

Wear as much pink as possible at all times. I see you're doing pretty well today!

Never pull dad's finger like this. You'll be forced to leave the room.

Eve Marie Strong

On 13 July 2009 at 1:40 p.m., Eve Marie Strong was born at Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown, NY. She weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs 11 oz and is 23 inches long. She has been a great baby! She cries very little and spends a lot of time just looking around as seen here. As you can see, she has a full head of dark hair complete with tipped highlights. I guess that explains why she was five days overdue; she had to get her hair done.


A cute little girl with nice long feet. I'm sure she'll come to love those over the years.

Kjersti couldn't be more excited to be a big sister!

With a little supervision, Eli loved holding his new sister. He's still getting used to the idea that there is a new baby in the house.

Eve had some whopper stories to tell Cody about life in the womb. I think he got the jist of it, but most of it was pretty tough to understand.

The perfect family picture. Heidi is tired, Kjersti is proud to be the new big sister, Eli is just happy to be there and Eve is zonked out.
