first recital

The girls supress their stage fright just before the big show.

Our little flower.

Holland was not so sure about this performing thing.

Wells could not have been prouder of his sweet siters.

get at them eggs

In homage to cool hand luke and to celebrate Easter, we dyed fifty eggs...well maybe not exactly fifty.

posture of forgiveness

One evening this Spring, Holland eased away from the dinner table to potty. When she had not returned after several minutes we knocked on the bathroom door, and waited, and waited, and ultimately threatened her if the door was not immediately opened. Turns out coating yourself and much of the bathroom in vaseline is a pretty good distraction from dinner.
Luckily it was easier to forgive, than it was to clean up.

frosty II

The first version of Frosty fell victim to instability, but Frosty II was built to last.

...end of day one

...end of day two

cooking with Tina

Aunt Tina was sweet (and brave) to help us make rice crispy treats and cake.
Delicious!

big finish

Angel not only finished the marathon, but helped raise over $7,000 for the Bell Center.
Way to go Mommy!

lap two

twenty one down and five more to go...masking the intense pain that only running for about 3 and a half hours straight can bring, Angel smiles as she jogs past her support group for the second time

lap one

Feeling the encouragement of all her fans, Angel breezed by the 8 mile mark, well on her way to completing her first marathon.
