2007 Family Picture

Will work for $2 and a ride to Target...

Tragedy struck this morning on the bus.... A certain five-year-old put her new prize Hello Kitty earmuffs on the seat on the bus instead of in her backpack and they fell on the floor... Another child stepped on them. As you can see, Mom tried with no luck to repair with Duct Tape- of course.

Since the same child lost one of her matching gloves YESTERDAY because she did the EXACT same thing and put them on the seat instead of in her backpack, she is now desperately trying to earn money to replace them both. She's currently $2 short- hence the collection envelopes she made below. Before you're moved to let mop your floors for $2, you will be happy to know that she's earning the money entertaining her brother and sister while mom works around the house. I'm sure she can talk dad into the ride tonight.. It's a tough life.

5 Months Old Playing Trains

I'm five months old now.... I'm getting so old that mom and dad forgot to take a picture on my real five-month birthday. This picture was a day late. I weighed 13 pounds 9 ounces about a week ago. I love to roll around, laugh, and play with toys now... That was a hint if you didn't catch it... I hear Santa's coming soon.

Excitement at the YMCA

We went for swim lessons tonight at the YMCA, and it was being evacuated when we arrived. There was a small fire in the basement. We stood outside and watched the multiple fire trucks with firefighters rushed to the scene. Seth kept pointing and saying, "firefighter, firefighter." It was a small fire, and everything is fine. Steve had brought the camera to take pictures of the lessons so he took pictures of firetrucks instead.

Enjoying Dad

Water Fun at Kalahari

We spent Friday night at Kalahari indoor waterpark and the rest of the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Ohio. The kids had a great time.
