What better place is there to watch a game of football catch anyways?

Nine Months

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Really not sure how this happened, but my little newborn baby girl is 9 months old today.  That went by way too fast.  Why does a 9 month pregnancy seen like an eternity, but these precious baby days seem to zoom by so fast?  *sigh*

Noah’s Big Catch

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

The big fishing opener was this weekend and…well, we fished.  Dave got a license, the kids fished for free, and I took pictures.  It was really a lot of fun!  Noah caught the first fish of the day…  (Navinah Riley, to the left of Noah, and Tirzah Riley, to right of Noah, are pictured here…they’re the daughters of some of our BFFs from college days that have recently moved back to the Cities)

It was a Sunfish, I think. (?)  Not much meat to them, so we threw it back in.  Oh, and that fin on top?  Razor sharp.

He was pretty proud of himself!

P.S.  I like this pic of Dave and the girls…

P.P.S  Elijah and Zeke wanted to make sure that you knew that they caught fish last night.

Here I Stand

Ellie has just recently aquired the very useful skill of pulling herself up to a standing position.  Useful, that is, for getting on her mother’s very last nerve.  :-)   Why sleep in a crib when you can stand at the rail and scream?

Crawling!

Sleeping Beauties

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

All tuckered out.  Being on holiday is fun, but also tiring, espesially when you’re a little person whose afternoon naptime has been trumped by a trip to the Science Museum.  Thankfully third, fourth and fifth borns learn to roll with the punches.  :-)
