2013 Chip, Putt, Drive PGAkids contest

The boys had a blast at their first PGA event. The finals will be
held at the Masters, next year. Our boys will not be there, though
they played their hearts out. Evelyn was there for support, as always.
Such a good little sister.

Glad it's not Harms way - or Lane - or something ...

I've never really thought of Ev as a ginger ... until this moment!

where did this hair come from, Child ? So funny!

Fathers Day 2013 in one picture

He's the best dad his kids could ever want. This picture sums it up nicely!

Playdate with Daddy

Happy day! The park appears to have reopened (after devastating floods
to the area just a couple of months ago). The kids don't seem to
notice any changes, that's for sure! Oh how these kids adore each
other! Warms you heart!

Mama, I want to play!

She can't wait to suit up and play baseball with the boys!!

If you see Dru this weekend, wish him a happy 10th!

Like a blink of an eye the last 10 years have gone by. Wow. It's
unbelievable! My baby will be TEN tomorrow. Not a long time in child
years. It goes by so fast. Love you little man!

sibling love. At a baseball game. xox

The babies! They're hungry!

I was feeding my kids outside today and we all got a treat - watching
mom feed her hungry chicks!

Beginning of Kindergarten / End of Kindergarten!

Seems Ernie sure has found his place! What a cutie!

The new sneaks, the new shades ... Kindergarten where have you gone ??

Could this boy get any cuter? And who sent out the memo that it was
national, "get your kid new sneakers" weekend? LOL. The boys were so
cute at the bus stop this morning. So stinkin' cute!!

me, you, the light on the porch

This year we have at least 3 robin nests. One on the back patio, over
the light. Another outside our bedroom window, like that "scratch
scratch scratch" spider video from a few months ago, another outside
the office in the yews. The fourth is likely over the garage, as we
found an egg that didn't fledge well last week.

Gene and the mama have been eyeing each other, particularly when he
grills. He grabbed these pics, mostly for the kids. I thought I'd
share them with you too!

a little canoe trip in our friend's back yard

In the event that you missed the flood reports from the midwest this
week ... this is our friend - our *first* friends in IL -- who hosted
a playdate the day our moving truck arrived -- really, wonderful,
wonderful people. Great kids. Love the parents. Well, how's this? A
canoe trip. In their backyard, the backwater from the river
overflowing its banks? WOW!
