100 and counting

We made it to 100 posts. Here we are still doing as little as possible. Enjoy....

I am not enetirely sure what EI is doing here but it sure is cute.

Explorers on the Isle, there's treasure everywhere!

Two cute girls on the beach.

IM understanding what it is all about.

From near to far from here to there funny things are everywhere

This was what was going on on (not often do I get to use that grammar) the night before we left. I was heading out for a run and it was dumping snow. I guess we missed a bit more of it as we got to our final destination.

AK working on the tan, check out the shadow, I love the little thing.

Here IM is loving his new mask. He actually was body boarding and had the mask on and he wiped out and that was enough for him. He came up out of the water and shouted "THATWASAWESOME!!" he claimed he saw fish in 3" of sandy water. When he settled down it was back to the buckets and sand with the mask of course.

AK showing us how it is done.

Pop's idea of keeping an eye on the kids.

5pm and Oh what fun it is...

I was sitting here enjoying the beginning of the weekend and I looked outside and noticed the sunset. Of course in photography one cannot trust the camera to relay the moment correctly but I decided to put this picture up anyway. Cold weather the tail end of a storm and an amazingly peaceful moment at 5pm, almost 30 more days of the days getting shorter and then the big count up. Hope you enjoy the picture a little, the real thing was pretty neat.

Here is our little AK getting ready for the season. She came home from lessons today and told us she surprised her teacher by playing a bunch of songs she wasn't assigned. The teacher was pleased and next lessons we get to buy a new book. Listen carefully and you will get the idea of what it is like living with the little boy who listens to all things even when not in the same room, C and I are always having to be careful of what we say. Example, "dang it!" is now part of the boys vocabulary.

Enjoy and Later M

winter days

I discovered IM on top of the woodpile when he was playing outside the other day.


Then I had to go rescue him because he couldn't get down by himself.


EI playing with the big girl toys (in attempt to get her to leave her brother's pirate playmobil alone).


IM and his pirates, along with about a zillion pieces small enough to disappear inside a mouth or a fist. Whenever he plays with this I have to diligently entertain the baby sister to keep her distracted. Unfortunately, she is not so much of a baby anymore, and she can easily climb onto the chairs and access the table which used to be his sacrosanct domain.


On the good side, IM is great at keeping track of all the pieces and putting them all away when he is done.

IT'S ON!
