The Mac Truck Cake

TA DA!

Hiram's 5th Birthday

Hiram has been dreaming of having a "Mac Truck" birthday party since his birthday last year when he had the same plan only he got sick so it didn't happen. So I made a Mac Truck birthday cake (into the wee hours of the morning), and a bullett proof Mac Truck pinata. (Chad finally put it on the ground and whacked it with a golf club). The kids raced little hot wheels on a pine wood derby track and we ate our family favorite...white chicken chilli. He was the happiest 5 yr. old ever!

Our little family is growing. A friend of mine put it well when he said, "before I had kids I had fun, and now I'm happy". We are happy and we try to have a little fun here and there as well.

Laural Hills Hike

This is my once every 2 year post. The Crossley's are doing well. We just got back from an a vacation spanning 3 states (Utah, Idaho and Colorado). The kids had fun meeting lots of cousins and experiencing new places.

We are in the "Burgh"

Well we are now in Pittsburgh. I graduated, passed my boards and am now doing a residency with Centers for Rehab Services/ University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The kids are growing up fast. Esther has become the master scooter moving at moch speed on her belly. Kaisa and I are now burning extra calories trying to keep up with both of them. Hiram is such a talker and loves being outside. Kaisa is such a wonderful mother. It is fun to see her interact with the children. What a wonderful blessing families are. Here are a few recent pictures. Enjoy!
