Christopher at Newport Aquarium

Christopher and Clara went to the Newport Aquarium this afternoon with Svarit and Sarah. Apparently good times were had by all.

Clowning Around...

Last Thursday we went to the circus in Cincinnati.  We took the whole crew with us and everyone had a blast.  Clara dressed up in the clownsuit she got for her 5th birthday to mark the occasion.  Cousin Emily also took her turn with the clown wig.

Lucy's baptism

 We are blessed to welcome Lucy into the church this weekend!  

Hope for the flowers

 This is one of my favorite photos.  The contrast of a father and son enjoying a yard full of dandelions while neighbors have beautifully manicured yards in the background seems to fit the stage of live we're in.  We've got to take time for things that will pass.  There will always be a yard to mow or fertilize but the kids are only small for so long.  ~Adam

Sabrina turns 3

Sabrina enjoyed a Tea Party at Church on her birthday, and then had some Howard family over for dinner and presents. Here she is shortly before she leaves for the afternoon Tea Party.

And here she is at dinner later that night blowing out the candle on her birthday cake. At Clara's birthday, Sabrina blew out the candle. As circumstances would have it, wasn't close enough to return the favor.

Birthday Dinner Photo

Shortly before bedtime, we gathered for a quick photo with the Howard Clan.

Wait your turn

Look at Clara in her pink snow boots showin' the world who's the boss. This was snapped at Cherokee Park last weekend with Todd, Heather and Tim. Clara wanted a drink - and the other guy was just going to have to wait.

Crime and Punishment

When you hit your sister twice in the head with a toy car, there will be consequences.
