He's a bear!

We traded Monday night visitation for Wednesday so G could start scouting.
How handsome is he in his uniform! Now we just have to start working on those patches.

The Girls.

E the couch potato!

Don't look too closely at our living room mess. The day is still young.

G B-day Celebration!

"Happy Birthday to You..."

Other kids cannot resist the temptation of secretly blowing out the candles too.

The stupid cake that looked like Tammy Fay Baker at a funeral.
(Was that too mean?)

G wanted a scarf too. That was an easy gift.

They are so hooked on WWE. I shouldn't have ever turned them on.

The suspense of Nana and Grandpa's gift...

Oh my gosh, sheer ecstasy!

Park Crazies

I took the children to the park and had to hide in the bushes so the other mothers didn't know who the kids belonged to.

This poor kid didn't have a chance. First there's G spinning G and then you see a strange kid get on. G and G spin him relentlessly.

The Talent Show

B and I have been working on this skit for a few weeks and today was the big day of the talent show at church. She performed it on stage in front of a bunch of strangers and she remembered all the stuff we talked about with out seeming shy or nervous (I think I was more nervous than she was). She remembered stuff like slow down, and use pretty arms instead of scare-crow arms. I am so proud of her and I hope someday she can use her excellent stage presence to benefit her and others.

New school, new year, new busted chin.

First day back to school and note G side pose... yeah, he was a bit embarrassed about the bandage on his chin. He took a spill on the hotel pool deck where Nana and Grandpa P were staying and split it right open. Poor guy.

One of B's more serious moments. That girl has a knack for taking great pictures!

"Way, use the zoom next time."

This was after G asked W to stop taking pictures so he wouldn't be embarrassed.

This one is more paparazzi style picture taking to purposely embarrass him.
