Evie is here!

Little Linden has a new baby sister. Evelyn Mae Fox Mixon was born August 22 2008. Our apologies for neglecting our blogging but I'm sure everyone understands. We have started a new blog for our new family because clearly "Little Linden" doesn't reflect all we got going on anymore. You can see lots of pictures of our little people at evieandlinden.blogspot.com

Wow (Great) Aunt Betsy

This amazing quilt just arrived in the mail for Linden. Its amazing! Thanks Aunt Betsy!

Dancing to the Mae-Bea song

We've been dancing to the "Mae-Bea song" (Loudon Wainright's "Daughter") almost nightly lately. Its Linden's new favorite song. Here Daddy and Linden dance around Mama and by default I suppose, Mae-Bea.

Congratulations Kolodners!!!

Jack and Linden kept Oliver company at Jack's grandparents house today while he waited for his new baby to arrive - which he did very gracefully and in short order. Amazing! Welcome baby Kiernan!!!!

trip to Grandma Eve's

So Linden got pretty darn sick after the arboretum on Thursday night. But we decided to head to Grandma Eve's on Friday for our farwell visit with Cousin Milo and Elijah before they move to Istanbul in a few weeks. ANd now that we are just weekd away from the arrival of Mae Bee Baby we have to stay in close proximity to the Birth Center. It was still a nice visit despite the puking flu and fever.

Outisde bath with Milo. Hard to beilive thes guys are just 9 months apart.

Making smores with (Great) Grandma Fran and (Great) Grandpa Howard.

Phillies Vs Cards

Nothing like an afternoon middle of the week baseball game. Especially when its Daddy's team vs. Linden's.

New set of wheels - minus the wheels

First of all big shout out to the Kelty company for standing behind their product and replacing our broken backpack - and promptly too. This is the box the new backpack came in. Made a nice car which Linden has been enjoying taking Kitty and baby for rides in - and a few long trips to see Mama Su and Grandma Eve and at least one road trip with Oliver to visit Jack who is in Atlanta.

Happy 4 th of July!

Linden, Jack and Oliver take on "inde-pend-ence" day. A little out of order but you get the idea.

Happy Aniversary!

So believe it or not but before we had this amazing kid we were just married people. Happy five year Anniversary Johnny!



I got this image from our wedding photographers website - all our wedding photos are pre-digital - that's how long ago it was.

Goat brushing

So brushing goats at the children's zoo in the the Philly zoo is way fun. Its apparently all about choosing the right brush and goat. You have to try out every one.

Play date on the porch

Jack and Oliver came over to play today.
