Swim Team 2016

Let's face it.... swim team is mostly about being with your buddies all summer long....

First Day... Hooray!

First Day of Kindergarten and Third Grade...

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Easter 2016

The boys enjoy about 1,000 jelly beans each today as they celebrate the resurrection of Christ. So predictable.

The Easter bunny pooped black jelly beans all over the floor again this year. Again, so predictable.

Turning off media means...

... More time for building cup towers, sewing with mom, finding new skateboard parks, playing "settlers" in the backyard, climbing from one side of the swing set to the other without touching the ground, puzzles on a tabletop and generally getting along better.

So glad we took the challenge!

Another Beautiful Day at Cincinnati Nature Center

Hiking on a brisk spring day with Nonnie and Paw Paw... I hope my kids will always look back and see these kind of days in their childhood.

Merry Christmas 2015!

Johnny's Preschool Christmas Program

Nothing gets us in the spirit of Christmas like hearing a bunch of preschoolers sing praises
to Baby Jesus.  What a fun night to see Johnny perform and reflect on the season.

Horse Parade 2015

We enjoy a holiday tradition with friends and family....

Family Portraits

What a nice fall day!  

We paused to take a moment to snap some family pictures...

Don't forget the toad we found in the backyard!

Johnny Spells

Johnny amuses himself one morning by using magnetic letters to spell things on the fireplace.
