So we went ahead and muddled through another round of family pictures (Thanks Jessica). I was so happy with the results. We are a real challenge since Brad lacks the ability to remain in the same place for more than about sixty seconds, and Drake only wants to be held by mom. The above picture is my favorite, because it just about says it all. You can take one look at this picture and have a good feel for the personalities that each of our beautiful kids bring to the group. They grow so fast and I treasure each shot that captures them they way they are right now so that I will never forget their young faces. I love you all and look forward to many more picture days.

BEST OF TIMES

My kids make me smile thousands of times every day. I hope that these pictures help to share some of that happiness with you.




PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pick me up....










I know that you love the airplane that I made, and if not you soon will because I will keep looking at you like this until you do.





TEA TIME!

Brad was warned about six times that he was leaning over this tub of water a little to far. I guess those bubbles were just a bit to tempting though, because he went in head first and fully clothed. I think if he could he would do it again.

Autumn looking so cute on her first day of school. I can't believe that she is already old enough to go to Kindergarten. Me and Brad miss her when she is gone in the afternoon, but she loves it. She is to smart for her own good, and I don't know if they will teach her anything this year that she does not already know. I only hope that she does not distract the rest of the children with her dancing, singing, laughing self.

This was Brad on his FAKE first day of preschool. I took him to the wonderful school that Autumn attended and after the first day they told me he was not ready because he would not sit down for circle time. He is now enrolled in a less academic school and is thriving, or at least he is not hitting or kicking other children.

My littlest man turned one. I am a little sad to see him grow so fast, but I love getting to know him better every day. I have boasted him as the sweetest little baby ever, but he is also a funny little man. He loves to make me laugh with his smirks, and fake burps after he takes a drink. I love you Drake Happy fist Birthday.

The rest of the party animals!
