Andy & Tina
About Andy & Tina
- The Blatchford Family
- We met the first day we moved into the residence halls at Oregon State University in 1998. Andy likes to say that I was the second girl he met at college, and said "Meh, she'll do". We dated for five years, and then got married on July 19th, 2003. After completing our MS degrees for engineering, we relocated from Corvallis, Oregon to Tucson, Arizona, where we have lived for seven years now. Four summers ago we welcomed our son, Lincoln, into the world on the evening of our 5th anniversary, July 19th, 2008. Our first daughter, named June, was born on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, 2010. Our second daughter, named Rosalyn, was born on April 4th, 2011. Our third daughter, named Cora, arrived on September 8th, 2012. We are expecting the final little member of our family to join us, on or around, Halloween 2014!

Violet Olivia

About Violet
Our baby is one year old and sweet as sweet can be. An excellent sleeper, and a patient and happy baby. So far, she is shaping up to be every mother's dream. :)
Cora Josephine
8.30.13
About Cora
Our sweet & social baby girl is 3 years old! She is walking, running & climbing like crazy. Her favorite things are puzzles, singing, dancing, and playing games with her sisters. She is certain that she is just as grown-up as her older sisters, and can do whatever they can do.
Cora has fit into our family seamlessly. I can't wait to see the little person she grows up to be, and yet I want to freeze time & keep her just like she is now.
Rosalyn Laine

About Roxy
Our little preschooler is 4 years old, and not so little anymore! She has no problems keeping up with June. The girls spend all their time playing together and they all really seem to enjoy it. They also do a lot of fighting, as is to be expected with sisters so close in age.
She is a little bit like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She can be the nicest, sweetest little girl, and then bam, she is throwing a fit. We really love her blossoming personality, and she is wicked smart. We couldn't be luckier to have her in our family.

About June
Our 5 year old kindergartner is a princess and pest all wrapped up in a cute little package. She is a real bundle of energy, so curious and into everything, and constantly in motion. She continues to adore her big brother and little sisters, and distributes both kisses and shoves liberally about the house.
She loves learning new things & repeating everything we say back to us. She is constantly talking & asking questions. It is a real joy watching her learn and discover the world around her. She tries so hard to please everyone, to help mom & dad as the "oldest" child, but sometimes her mischievous nature takes her for a ride. And as always she is the life of the party and the game master for her siblings and friends!

Lincoln Christopher

About Lincoln
Lincoln is our 7 year old, walking, running & climbing 2nd Grader! He is very sweet, displays quite the sense of humor, and has a huge capacity for love. We love that he is developing his own sense of himself and his personality. Thanks to the Ketogenic diet & several anti-convulsants, he has shown great progress with seizure control and social emotional development. He shares a very special friendship with June, plays with Roxy, and is beginning to show some curiosity about Cora. He gives hugs, snuggles, and pinches freely to anyone within proximity. We continue to celebrate every little moment and milestone that we have with our little man.
When he was 2 months old he was diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Infantile Spasms/Epilepsy. This results in multiple daily seizures of various shapes and sizes, as well as medications, restrictive diets, developmental delays, therapists, doctors, and hospital procedures. Despite all of this, he remains one of the best sons a family could ever hope for. We are so proud of him, and lucky to have him in our lives. He is our brave strong son; our little miracle.
