Oodles of Pictures of Fall

Dear Family,

Here are a bunch of photos.


Apple picking:

Around the house:

A sweetie picking out the raisins for me.

Playing in the family room:

All kinds of pictures (and a birthday)

Hi Everybody!  We've been keeping busy. Mostly, these days, we are keeping busy by growing. Here's a quick slew of photos:

How we roll (inspired, I'm pretty sure, by the 4th of July parade).

M's Birthday!

The birthday walk, enlivened by gathering dandelions.

What she wanted for dinner.

Three candles, although the third is hard to see.

The neighbors gave us their swing/play set. The kids are pretty thrilled.

Trying to capture a photo before church--only moderately successful. At least the baby isn't screaming in this one!

This is what you call a great outfit.

And some video footage:

Summer Days

Hi Everyone!

Here is some more footage and more pictures of life these days. We are doing well. Our little guy remains little--he still hasn't broken 11 pounds despite his large size at birth--and we are taking him in for periodic weight checks. He is learning new things and seems to be a pretty healthy, happy baby, though, which is reassuring!

Here are the kids riding their balance bikes (notice that M, as usual, is singing a song of her own making):

I was trying to capture some of his smiles:

And a few pictures from around our house:

I was pretty proud that I managed to take all three to the zoo by myself!

He likes his bath, but apparently pools are NOT his thing.

The classic preschool graft: gluing beans and pasta.

The kiddo picked these and told he he had "organized them" for me.
