Political Debate

Whereas Heidi and Brielle are all about enjoying the environment and protecting it to the best of their ability, Russell thought it was more important to have a big, black, gas-guzzling, air polluting SUV to drive around in. (with Leather seats made out of rainforest monkey skin) They were finally able to see eye to eye once Heidi's brother told her that the big SUV made her look little in the driver's seat! Anything that makes her look skinny can't be all bad!

A Lotta Firsts

First driving lessons

First waterfall.

First time on the swings.

California Fun!

Sea World was great fun. Occasionally Brielle would notice there was a huge black and white thing leaping out of the water with a little man on his nose, but most of the time she was content to look at the people or chew on her hat.


On most days we had to catch our naps on the run, in daddy's arms.


Swimming for the first time went well, and now Brielle loves it.

The Streadbeck gang in the hot tub!
