This was up to the birth of Callie. Pictures of just before the arrival to the actual arrival itself including pictures of Tricia and Alaina 6 weeks apart in their pregnancy.

These are the pictures from Callie's first birthday. It was great... Brant Jones had moved back from DC so he was there with his family... Old friend Doug Petry was there to celebrate as well with his daughter Kayla. Of course family from both sides. Lots of little girls and cousins all running around. It was great.

This was a picture of Isabella playing in our yard while living in Houston. We had palm trees all over the place. It was beautiful. We had good memories of living down in Texas.

The Franke's visit Houston while we lived there

Tricia, Greg, Carlie, Carter, and Claire came to Houston to visit us in '05. Isabella was 1 1/2 yrs old and Claire had recently turned 1. We all had a blast going to Sea World San Antonio, Nasa Space Station, etc. The girls just had a ball. Here they are playing at our house on a walk behind.

Callie Daniela

Callie was the newest addition to our family on 4/14/06. We had recently moved back to the Quad Cities in 2/06 and was living with the Puente side. Callie was born the Friday before Easter and we moved into our new house in Davenport on that Monday. What a busy week! We thought we had no time on our hands before and along came #2. For the first couple months her hair stuck straight up as you can see here... what a beautiful baby, just like her sister! Again, we couldn't be happier.

Isabella Maria

Isabella graced our family 1/18/04 while living in Houston. Brought these two party animals to a screeching halt and made them actual responsible adults. We couldn't have been happier.

Here we are... the originators of our little family, Dan and Alaina. Both originally from the Quad Cities, one from Illinois and one from Iowa. In addition to us, we have two Beautiful little girls Isabella and Callie. Isabella was born while we lived in Houston, TX and we moved back to the QC's when we were expecting Callie. We are happy to call this home.
