London

Our friend took some pictures of London. She is starting to get big (kind of!). She is 3 1/2 months old

Sammy & Sophie Turn 5!

Samantha and Sophia turned five and to celebrate we unleashed the Skiba family on Peter Piper Pizza. They have come a long way over the last five years. We can't believe they will be starting kindergarten in the fall!

Why the Iraq War Is Taking So Long

I have watched this a dozen times and it only gets better!

John

And So It Begins...

Powell started playing flag football today. He clearly has inherited is father's football skillz (that's right, skillzzz). He plays running back on offense (I don't think he is guard material...few people are) and linebacker on defense. We may have to start emailing these pictures up to Bronco. It is never too early to get your name out there!

London

Our new baby girl was born on January 18, 2009. We have been pretty busy since we came home from the hosptial and haven't had a chance to update the blog. She was 6 lbs. 2 oz. and 19 inches long. We have named her London Jessica Skiba. London is kind of a "wild and crazy" name for us, but we like it. Mom has a lot of helpers with this little one.

Head Bangers' Ball

For Christmas we received Guitar Hero for the Wii, and while Sammy has not yet mastered the guitar, we have found she does have incredible head banging skills. What is most amazing, or concerning, is this seems to come straight from her soul, because no one has ever shown her the art of head banding before!

Christmas 2008

The day after Christmas we went up to Pinetop to visit the family and get in some good sledding.
