Posting pictures that have been on my phone for too long

Sunday, March 15: first week of church-at-home.  We used orange juice and saltines for communion because that was the closest we could get!

March 14: Happy 8th birthday, Isaac!

March 10: Happy 11th birthday, Ethan!

February 15: Daddy-Daughter dance!

Some of us are almost teenagers

Some of us are just plain cute!

It was a chilly night for a carriage ride

Dad and his two dates

February 22: throwing and/or skipping rocks at Wildcat Creek

January 4: Ethan and Isaac helping Dad finish up a plumbing job by painting the wall.

Dressed Up

Just rediscovered these, taken back in January.  Isaac is finally big enough to wear the suit that we bought for Ethan when we attended a black-tie wedding in 2011.  We got some very good pictures of Ethan, so I wanted to get some with Isaac, too. 

I have been richly blessed with handsome kids and a beautiful wife.

Daddy Day

Mommy, Abbey, and Ethan left early Saturday morning for a bake sale, so Isaac and I had the day to ourselves.  We visited the playground:

 Then the Children's Garden, where we amused ourselves throwing rocks in the water.

We then followed the 68 Steps down to the Arboretum, where I got Isaac to pose in front of the big waterfall:

We were looking for frogs or turtles, of which we found none, but we did find a big garter snake sunning itself.  Isaac has no fear of snakes!

While we're supposed to be getting ready for naptime...

This was from last Sunday (11/21). Can you tell she's very sleepy? ;)

Wedding Bells

We went to a wedding yesterday, the wedding of Debbie's cousin Mike Folkert. We've been going to a lot of wedding lately: many of my friends are of marrying age, and so are many of Debbie's cousins.

Anyway, here's Daddy and Abbey, all dressed up!
