Happy 4th Birthday, O (and other goings-on since the end of 2011)

Celebrating the big 4!

Sand is yummy, to some. Lucky us, a beach day in winter!

Annual New Year's Hike.











Hugo's first Christmas, in Georgia.



The newest cousins.

Kindergarten!

He picked his own first day of school outfit (well, I persuaded him to choose a less loud shirt). He also chose the pumas.

The bucket bike commute. I followed with Hugo in the jogger stroller.



Rilo AND Owen were so excited to be here. Owen was a little bummed he couldn't stay. They have Legos! And snacks.


And now the first day ends. Thanks Mrs. Meyer!

Hello. My name is Hugo.

I was born under the sign of Aries, in the year of the rabbit. I was 8 lbs 8 oz and 21 inches on March 23rd when I arrived 2 weeks before expected.

This is what my family looks like now:

And just me:

It's been a while...

... but Owen just turned 3 last weekend and, well, we're expecting boy #3 in 3 weeks.

Those clowns...

Welcome, summer! Let the good times begin...

Happy 2010!

Our third annual new year's day tradition: taking a hike. This time, we made it to the P--for "Peace."





May Peace be with you in this new decade and always.







With much love and silliness,
the Yeh-Rippens clan

Good things come in 3s
