Brotherly love

Alex holds his own in the Manning tickle-off!

The Mannings take Maui

So many pictures, so here's a sampling of sunny goodness for you!

Beachy smiles (on Mama)...

Surfing, Manning style

Team Manning at the Wailea Golf Club, where Jack greeted the receptionist with "Oh crap, I forgot my blankie!"

Team Plank (our more than gracious hosts) at the WGC

Ronit and Talya looking gorgeous by the waterfall

Pool goodness (with coordinating outfits)...

Get your own beach chair!

Parents won't leave the beach, so Alex puts himself down for a nap.

It took two showers to get de-sanded that day!

Romantic sunset, family style

First tooth...

...long night.

Six and three-quarter months

Other things I am doing (aside from reading) include: sitting for at least a minute before I fall over (at which time I'm very brave and hardly ever cry); crawling backward - which causes my toys to get farther away rather than closer - still haven't figured that one out but I find it a bit frustrating; eating rice cereal, bananas and sweet potatoes, none of which look nearly as good as what my brother gets; and smiling and giggling like nobody's business. Stay tuned for month seven!

PEPS Holiday Party 2007

Our third Christmas together!
Here we are last year... I seem to have a similar expression on my face for each of the group photos - honestly, I did enjoy myself, but by the time you get ten toddlers in one place to pose for a photo, someone's going to get a little perturbred in the process. And around about when we all first met... Remember when we were this small?Holy chickens, time does fly. This year we have three new additions - baby Gracie, my fabulous little brother Alex, and the very newest, baby Libby.

Hide and seek

Here I am playing hide and seek with Sienna and Nathan. Bet you can't spot our tricky hiding places!
