For Ryan

Here's a side by side of R and V. Do you see the resemblance?

First teeth and funny faces

Here's B with his turtle face:


Here he is with his two new biters:

Lately, B has been so serious in all of his pictures. I take out the camera, and he immediately looks like this:

Sometimes I think that there isn't much difference between a baby and a puppy.

He cracks me up.

Loving fall

This year it seemed like fall was never going to come. I'm so excited that it is finally here, and it's been a beautiful year. I took C and B to Aldridge Botanical gardens one morning for a short "hike." The air was crisp and the sun was filtering through the bright leaves and reflecting of the still water. It was a great day to be out.

Georgetown Lake Park

Once again, V had school off on R's birthday, so we celebrated his birthday by going to the park without him. It was a beautiful fall day with crisp leaves...


And ducks with mohawks.


We spent some time feeding the ducks and the fish.


Apparently I don't feed C enough, because he would feed a duck,

then himself.


B thought this was serious.


We enjoyed the playground and our friends.

But of course, the best part was playing in the water...

and with sticks.

And really, what's better than that?

What is it with kids and couch cushions?

Because sometimes I want to sit down...

Just a little slap happy...

V and I were playing catch with a paper airplane. B found this hilarious.

Another first...

I always like it when the kids get old enough to sit up in the grocery cart. It seems to make shopping so much easier, and they seem to enjoy it much more.

That is unless they have an older brother who tends to make the experience a little terrifying.
