The Walking (or Standing) Dead

We just read a little bit about ancient Egypt and Mummies and we made some of our own... sort of. We made the kind that are still alive and can bust out of their mummification pretty easily and with a lot of laughter and mess!

Leah's Birthday Celebration

Leah turned three on September first! We had a fancy dinner (corndogs!) and very pink cupcakes. These pictures are from that night including some of her with her presents and Luke with dinner all over the place, including some of the pink cupcake in his hair.

Leah Turns 3!

On birthdays, the kids get to pick which parent they go out to breakfast with for their special birthday breakfast. Leah picked Dad this time and he was pretty excited because this is the first time he was picked! The first photo is from before they headed out and the next is of them out to breakfast... with 'Potty Baby' in tow, of course.

Wanna Fight?

We have some pretty fierce battles at our house with some wild and crazy fighters... including Dad!

Leah

Leah is a goof and a camera ham! She is talking but not well enough for us to understand all of the time but she seems to have no shortage of ability to express herself when the camera comes out. She has a personal camera language!

Opening some presents with Dad.



The whole crew.



Later that night on his first birthday. It was hard to get him to sit still... he was either messing with the shoes he had on (which he never wears!) or he was watching any car that was going by and not looking at the camera.


The day he came home from the hospital.

Luke's Birthday Dinner

We celebrated Luke's first birthday on August 27th. As all babies do, he has grown so much in one short year and is such a big bundle of joy! The kids decorated the table with a dinosaur and wild animal parade, we had dino cupcakes and balloons but I think Luke liked the cupcakes best... I think all the kids did!
