Cute and cuddly... and has been terrorizing my garden all summer!

A handsome devil.

The closest we could get to simultaneous "CHEESE"!

These kiddos are growing up way too fast, too.

Happy Father's Day, Michael.

Happy 10th Anniversary!

A rare "date night"... dinner at the Oyster Bar...

thank goodness.

Hello Again!

Happy New Year!

Here's what we've been doing in 2007 so far...

a little hibernation: a lot of work:
Thus, the pictures have been few and far between (like, none).
Welcome back.
Spring has sprung, and the updates will be much more frequent and hopefully a lot more sunny and warm. :)
Enjoy!

the trusty VW

and on a warm fall day in October...

our trusty little Jetta wagon hit the big one!

what a good morning...

These are from September 20 (happy birthday, Monica!)... the sun was coming up and it was raining lightly at the same time. Sure enough, there was a gorgeous full rainbow!

Micah checking it out in PJs (and, of course, his trusty umbrella!)

Thursday, August 17... faces painted

the boys went to the old train depot to tour the train, which is being restored, but only open once a year...

and came home with face paintings

Micah's train!

Monday, August 7... bath laughs

the boys shared some fun during bath time...

Still catching up with pictures from this month...

the Morning After

Micah wasn't slowed down by his late night at the fire works... he was back to his usual fun activities the next day.

this is his idea of "swinging"

riding his tricycle
doing a little dance

Saturday, August 5... The Big Day... and Night!

Finally, the fireworks... they were great. Never quite as fun on camera.

Bouncin'

a rainy day last week was perfect for a trip to Crazy Bounce...

fun for the kids, good workout for Mom and Dad!

Jacob on the "Titanic" slide
Micah in the balls... his fave

playing at the gym

after a workout Monday morning, I went to pick up Micah...
he was having so much fun with "Goin' on a Bear Hunt" that he didn't even notice I was taking these pictures...


... until the song was over!
