The Sandman Comes!

I love watching my kids sleep. I don't think there is anything more relaxing. Maybe it's because I can finally get a moment of quiet... or really because I think they look like such angels.

Jack has always been a cuddler. He always has one of his many friends under his arm when he sleeps - tonight his "baby jaguar" and his beloved pooh get the coveted spot. He just always looks so comfortable...


Kate, on the other hand, is a restless sleeper. She is always thrashing around, and usually looks like she has just succumbed to sheer exhaustion and tumbled into her bed. She looks sweet, but not nearly, as Jack would say, "as cozy".


This is how they wound down from their busy day today. Today, despite all of the pushing and fighting over toys, they ended as friends.

Happy Birthday Cousin Matthew!

Today is our cousin Matthew's Birthday. He is 9. He is coming to visit us soon and we are going to have a party for him. Everyone (especially Jack) is very excited!

The Patient


Kate got tubes in her ears last Thursday. I thought she looked incredibly cute in her hospital gown so I snapped a pic with my cell phone. Clearly my cell phone camera is not one of its outstanding features....

Jack's school project


Jack made this t-shirt at school today; he could not wait to come home and show it to everyone...

Happy Kids

The weather is finally nice... it's not raining, and it's not oppressively hot. Great weather for spending time outside. And, after all of the rain we got, we can finally get our boat in and out of the dock & the kids can play in the lake right behind our house. How happy everyone is again to get outside!

Jack & Scott spent the morning floating around while Kate napped. Later we helped Jack's friend Brett celebrate his 4th birthday at a pool party.
