It's Official

Once there's ducks, you know it's a lake :) Their camouflage it pretty amazing.

Emma

She's such a good little helper. She really thinks the lake is all for her. I mean, really, what three year old doesn't want to throw rocks into water all day???
And no, I'm not abusing my child be letting her wear a short-sleeved shirt. After a long, long, long, long, winter, 50 some degrees might as well be 80.

Perry Lake

Here's Mike and Emma looking for the culvert that we know is under our lake somewhere...

Thank goodness for hipwaders!

When you don't know what else to do...

Just stick em' in a snowbank.


Here's Jack all bundled up for a "nap-walk." He still likes a short nap in the middle of the evening so I usually make that my walk time.

Amazing Magical Art

Whoa, mom, check out what she's doing! It's like...magic....

Really mom, this is amazing!!

It makes me SO happy!! (everything makes Jack happy, it's great)

A Frame of Reference

Here are my two lovely kids in their car seats on March 17th, 2007. Happy St. Patrick's Day and I can't believe how huge my kids have gotten. I can't really be that old...can I??

Recent HIghlights

Here is Jack in his Brand-New "space-saver" high chair. I'm still trying to figure out how it saves space. I can't tuck the chair under the table, the chair legs are nearly as big as the legs on a regular high chair. But here it is, the space-saver high chair. Mike likes it because when there's a child seat belted onto the chair, he doesn't have to affix the seats which I keep recovering. I like it because I can take the kid chair off and put it in the garage.


This is how we solved our problem of what to back our cabinets with since the hickory is so expensive. You can't fight having kids take over your house so all you can do is use it to your best advantage. I didn't even really think about Emma being naked in yet another picture since it's such a natural state in our house. Usually we at least make her wear panties. For those of you who haven't been to our house, that's the door to the garage and I'm sitting in the playroom facing the kitchen/dining area.

HAPPY FOUR MONTHS OLD JACK!!!
(and a day since I forgot to take his picture yesterday)

I must get a new camera, I'm sick of really cute blurry pics.

This is what will keep Jack from crawling. He lays on his tummy looking around until he sees his hands, "Hey, those look like something I could suck on!!"

Little Man Jack

Went in for a quick ckeck, we're now over 17 lbs.

Gratuitous Nudity of Adorable Proportions

Holy Big Baby

Above is Jack in a cute pair of pajamas. He is just barely over three months old. Below is Emma in THE SAME cute pair of pajamas. She was 20 months old.
