More pics . . .

Jason and I babysat by brother's two boys the other night. Sophi and Liam had a great time making necklaces out of some wooden beads I found at a garage sale that day. :)



Sophi and fall leaves . . .a good combination.

My brother Mike's girlfriend, Sara, is an avid knitter and makes just beautiful things. She took on the challenge of knitting her first sweater this year . . . for Lucy! Adorable . . .

We're back!

So . . .we just received the great news that Jason's parents (who live 10 hours away in Michigan) just got high speed internet hooked up and are able to view our family blog. Needless to say, I'm feeling a renewed sense of guilt for not having posted many photos lately. Here are a few recent ones . .



Sophi and I made applesauce the other day. I figured I needed to get into the swing of turning fruits and vegetables into mush as Lucy will be starting solids in a couple weeks.


"Please, Mom, can I try carrots first????" Actually, we've just been using a nice, cold carrot, straight from the fridge as a teether for Lucy. She loves it - as you can plainly see. (Thanks Brad and Geo for the idea!)




Bath time in the sink.

We met my brother and his family out at a local state park for a picnic and hiking last Sunday as the weather here was near 80 degrees! It was a perfect day.
Jason's recent "prize find" at a local thrift store - the Fisher Price Airport (circa 1972) for $1. Missing was the airplane (which my mom still had from when I was a kid) and the helicopter (still on the hunt for that). Luckily, all of the 70's-style decals were still in tact.

This is usually where you will find Jason seconds after walking in the door from a long day at work - spending time with his girls. He's truly is an awesome dad.


Jason's mom has worked as an early childhood teacher for many years. Lucky for us, she loves to send us all kinds of fun activities and books when she cleans out her closets. Here's a shot of Sophi and Jason, puzzling over a learning activity about colors and numbers. Jason actually looks a bit more puzzled, I think.
