Megan got a phone call from a friend yesterday and talked for 50 minutes! When I tried to listen in, she pushed me out of her room. When Grace got here, she picked up another phone and the three of them continued to talk!!

magic castle
A night out with no kids! Last night we had an installation dinner for the board of our photography association. We went to the Magic Castle and sat behind Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green. Ferman said he saw Mrs. Garrett from The Facts of Life which I would have been more excited about but oh...
swimmin’ on Memorial Day
This is the BEST the kids have ever done in a pool. Nathan announced this morning that because he is now 4, he can swim with floaties and leave his baby raft at home. Once Megan saw Nathan swimming around the pool, she ditched her ring and swam with only floaties, too. ...
the trampoline/raft
A gift from Auntie Verna – and if you are reading this, it also floats! This entertained the kids all day. The contest was who could stand on it the longest in the pool without falling. Kari won, clocking in at an impressive 60 seconds!
all wet!
On our way to Grandma’s today, we stopped at the mall. I had just gotten the kids new outfits from tcp and it’s a good thing. They soaked their own clothes in this fountain. Nathan doesn’t like to be all wet so he didn’t last long. Megan ran back and forth kicking water. And Logan,...
party at grandma’s
Well, it’s official. My baby boy is FOUR! We had a bbq at Grandma Verna’s today. Nathan loved his presents – real soccer shoes, shin guards, and a ball, magnetix, an inflatable mini-trampoline, spirograph, and lots of soccer accessories. He also loved his cake and asked if he could bring the “whole thing” home.

the unbreakable pinata
Grandma got a pinata for Nathan’s birthday. The kids all took turns taking swings at it but it would NOT surrender a single piece of candy. Note Nathan’s shin guards still on (in fact, he is sleeping in them tonight).
Finally, we called on big strong Daddy to help us break it open.
But...
bikes
We should really do this more often – they love to run around and ride their bikes. Went to the park tonight. Megan is a speedster on hers and Nathan can pedal all around with no help at all. Logan, well, not so much. Still, they had a blast. Shot at iso 400 with...
the other kids
Well, Megan certainly doesn’t need any direction. I thought it’d be cute to get a picture of Logan with a couple of ducks for the bathroom. He insisted on holding EVERY duck. Can you tell this is all we did today? Set up the studio at 7am and shot every time I thought someone would...
