A tribute to Seth and...

LEEAH!!!!!!

We are so happy to publish to the www and to all of our readers the announcement of Seth and Leeah's engagement. They are getting married on May 27th and we could not be more excited for the two of them. We hear the proposal involved a staged easter egg hunt, a kite, and a magical leprauchan. How he was able to secure the services of the leprauchan is still unknown. How he convinced Leeah to marry him, however, is definitely not a mystery. Seth's best qualities include, but are not limited to - happy, dedicated, expert bracketologist, good speler, generous, good left-handed frisbee thrower (ask Seth to explain to you the greatest thing that happened to his frisbee game), athletic, motivating, a heartless tin-boy, adventurous, giving, fun, harvester of peaches, perservering, 2nd best croquet player in the family, strong, loving, often mistaken, full of energy... in short, just the best brother ever. We love you Seth and we can't wait to get to know some of Leeah's best qualities. We spent some time together with them in December and they are great together. We cannot to get out to Utah to see them and to celebrate their marriage.


Here are Seth and Leeah soon after the proposal. Nice job guys

Love those big smiles!

Not only did Seth recently get engaged, but he was also out in Charlottesville to see us. And boy was he a great house-guest. He loved playing with Claire and Claire just loved him. He is the first one to make Claire laugh uncontrollably. And he does the dishes (Leeah don't let him get out of that. He does a great job).

Seth and Uncle Claire are having a great time on the streets of Richmond. Seriously everyone loves it when they see Claire in her Lamb hat. Of course she didn't do as well in the car as cousin Sam does... as Seth pointed out. That cousin Sam, always one-upping us. One of these days Claire, one of these days.
This is seriously the cutest thing. For the three days that Seth was here, we slept with our door shut, which makes it more difficult to hear Claire. But each morning we heard her right outside our door. Seth would wake up with her every morning and play with her as long as she would, before bringing her to us so she could eat. Claire would last 15 minutes with him before she got upset. Let me tell you how long she lasts with me in the morning. About 15 seconds. Enough time to get her out of bed and get her to mom. Seth and Claire had a great time together and mom and dad really appreciated the extra 15 minutes of sleep. Seth will be a great dad (oh by the way, Claire still doesn't crawl but she does wave and clap and laugh hysterically and mom and dad, and she doesn't have any teeth yet, and she is the sweetest, cutest, funnest little girl ever born. we love her so much)

Good luck Seth and Leeah. We love you guys. We expect you to be starting your own blog soon. See you in May.
