Random Kid Photos

Here are more photos of the kids from spring-early summer of 2010. What a flashback!

Sarah after trying a green smoothie! I don't think her eyes can get any bigger. She did like it, though. :)

Sweet Sarah

This is how Sarah fell asleep one night on the couch. I guess she was really tired!

Sisters!

Stephen's 6th birthday, 2010.

This isn't the best photo, but I love it for the look of sheer joy on Timothy's face: "Yay, cake!"




The kids really loved the playground out back and would spend many hours out there...

Rachel really enjoyed pushing Sarah on the swing. Unfortunately, the swing would often get away from her!

Easter 2010

We had a nice meal at our place with some friends, then the kids hunted for Easter eggs in our yard.

Rachel on the hunt.

Stephen racing after some well-hidden eggs.

What do we have here? :)

Snowmageddon 2010-GA Style

We didn't get as plastered with snow as our friends and family to the north, but it was a rare (so we heard) treat to get this "much" snow down here. Needless to say, it did not happen in early 2011. Rats!

Stephen looking out the window at the snow.

Two little boys on a magical day.

Playground out back, covered with a dusting of snow.

Not too much snow!

In the morning-pretty, pretty!

Tasty.

Thanksgiving

We didn't take any photos of our most recent Thanksgiving and I am way behind in updating on here, so we shall start with a Thanksgiving photo...from 2 years ago. Better late than never, I say!

That is wee Sarah, who was a month old in this photo. It was taken in back of our old place in FL.

Hello, Again!

Wow. It is hard to believe it's been over a year since I posted here... I am attempting to merge Joshua's blog with this, or at the least, making a link on the sidebar so people can visit it. Now that the initial craziness of the first few months is over with, it will be a lot easier to just post any news about Joshua here. Before, I held back about posting anything about the other kids on J's blog because, well, it was "his" blog. Now, I won't feel the guilt. I've also opened it up again so that you don't need to sign in. I think that was more trouble than it was worth!

So, here's to hearing more from us, more often! :)

(Now, to root through a year's worth of photos to see what to put on here...)

Moving!

Pile O' kids!


A rare, quiet Rachel moment...


Who is that stowaway?!


The best photo I got of the whole crew...


Sarah standing up at our new refridgerator.


Sarah, September 2010-almost 11 months.


We had a small tree by our shed which was completely dead, so Dave sawed it down. The kids wanted to try their hands at sawing, so each took a turn. Here's Rachel trying it out...


Matthew trying the saw out...


Timo was a little tired out after all that!


Our huge shed!

Sarah had the right idea-relaxing! :)
