Six months later, we're caught up!

BFF! Jack's first black eye from playing too rough and falling into the ottoman. Grey takes up golf to be like Daddy.

Jack and Grey LOVED reptile day at Summer Camp! They volunteered to pet everything except the scorpian and tarantula. And they even volunteered their fearless mama to hold the big Burmese python! (I did it so they'd think I was cool)

Jack and Grey proudly show off the first poppy of the season. They waited patiently for a long time for it to bloom!

Entirely too much energy at 2am...

This is what I walked in to find one day...

Jack fell and busted his face in the doorway at pre-school right before the class picture.

In Loving Memory of our very Dear, Sweet Friend, Fudge (March 1999 -- March 2008)

We Miss You!

Daddy and the boys build a snowman before calling the fire dept. to fix the fire alarms that shorted out. Having the firemen come to the house was a great pre-school lesson!!

Jack and Grey enjoy their first trip to the zoo. (Grey was deep into his duck phase, which lasted a good 4 months...) march '08

Due to intense public outcry, more Christmas pictures were added. It makes the whole thing out of order, but if you don't mind, we don't mind. Thanks for the feedback--how else would we know you wanted more if you didn't tell us.

Grey models Mama's new hat while both boys have their new books read to them. (isn't that a great hat?!)

Santa came with a vengeance!

Mama reads several Christmas stories before Santa arrives (yes, they wore their new wooly crocs to bed!)

Jack and Grey help Don open up the presents they got him.

Jack and Grey are sooooo lucky to have such pretty cousins around them!

Pictures with Santa were free at Meijer, but we didn't know that until we got there! At first Grey wouldn't go up on his lap, then he wouldn't leave. (the other 4 times they saw Santa didn't get downloaded--Sorry!)

Jack tells Santa he wants a Thomas choo-choo (the 75 at home aren't enough) and Grey discusses how he'd like a duck like this Tweety. A big thanks for the McDonalds gift cards, Santa! They sure beat a candy cane!

Please welcome our new cousin Baby Josselyn. Jack says that Joss is 'so pretty' and that she has '2 hairs'.

Best buds!

It's a discontinued shade of cheek color, but doesn't it look stunning this season? (mental note to shut bathroom door in master bedroom)

It's 11 pm. What do you think the chances are that these two monsters are going to sleep any time soon?

Jack's "Adventures of Teddy Bear" will be available in scrapbook format by the end of this year.

Who are these wackos and how did they get on our blog?

Good Morning! Would you like a bite of my oat bran or would you rather see my duck?

Jack waits with the patience of Job for his present.

There we are with our cousins in our first Junior Birdman picture tradition with Santa!

Passed OUT!
