Nicholas Jonathan Forrest

Resting peacefully on Day 2.



Something's not right.



Much better.



Goodnight. :)

Nicholas' life begins.

15 minutes into life and things are already getting tough.



Nothing that a nice finger can't help.



And when he leaves here he's got these jokers to deal with.



"Come around where I can get a look at you, Dad."



"Here's a hobby I picked up in the womb."



Going to try to eat.



Mom and her child.



Welcome Nicholas. We love you.

Our House.

Welcome to Casa Forrest. We're not sure if we chose the house because we have a big family, or if we're having more kids to fill the house. Either way, it works out.




Azaleas in bloom are a Southern tradition.








Texans are friendly, so we build houses close to our neighbors.

Capitol Trip

We visited the Capitol on our trip to Austin. It was really fun. A beautiful building. You park across the street and walk right in. The legislators were all back at their homes, which is just as well.

There is lots of Texas history depicted in the capitol. Texas has one of the richest state histories in the union. And Texans like to remember it.

Here are the boys on the state seal.




I'm not sure who this is. When in doubt, I say it's Sam Houston.



Matt loved visiting the House and Senate chambers.



A view of the beautiful cupola on top of the capitol seen from the inside.



Brothers together in Texas. What more is there?

Ice Skating, Austin Style

We went to Austin for the day and went ice skating. Doesn't everyone. More than that, we skated on the top of Whole Foods. Is there anything you can't do at that store? It was our small attempt to keep Austin weird. Wwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeee!


Matt, hanging ten off the rail!


Benny says "Cheeeeeeeeese."



Sam's not so sure about it.


Brothers on ice.
