Jennie, you sure make us laugh....

and we love that you're named after your great-grandma Jennie. She would think you are pretty funny,too!

Literally speaking...

This time last year, when I asked Ty and James to "put your heads down near the pumpkins", this is what I got.....

take 2 ....when I added "and now look up at me" this is what I got....I just love that 1st one!!! I remember laughing when they did that:)

for a good cause....

.... all the t-shirts in memory of people who have died from ovarian cancer..and it makes you realize what a silent killer it is. Girly Girl P.A.R.T.S. is an effort to raise awareness of prescreening.

Gracie shows her stuff.....

and one of her many tricks just in case she has to be in competition with a hunting dog!

Jennie has always had....

alot to say! (5mos..... recorded 2 yrs. ago)

What a difference....

a year makes... Jennie 18 mos.

Ty 2 1/2 and James 4 1/2 picking apples in Maine.

Mom, she needs a.......

tissue...that's what the lady all kicked back in the chariot had the nerve to say to Katy about Jennie's nose.You can hear Ty and Jennie squealing on the carousel. Rob tries to overcome his fear of carousel horses:)

Pictures in the Sky.....

fish,

elephants,

I mostly see what looks like the cover of a CCD book in my pictures.

Maggie and James

She loves her big brother:)

Time flies!

Back to school Tyler! Have fun in the 4 yr. old class!!!xoxo

my first medal......(unless you count a doll show ribbon about 50 yrs. ago?)

and even if it's my last, it will be my favorite because of the funniest picture ever on there...check out her outfit!

never forget.....

Who doesn't love summer?

but, as they said on SNL...BUH BYE!

the weather, the get-togethers...the beach, but the traffic is the hard part out on the Cape. Siren after siren, not being able to turn left onto the road, etc.....and therefore this is our Buh Bye tribute...in pictures and the following 4 videos:)

Unofficial end of summer......

and the big crowd at sunset

they weren't disappointed......

the sunset crowd, they applauded another beautiful sunset,

and I decided to look at it from a different angle this time:)

and so summer 2010 is unofficially over.In the winter we need to be here around 3:45 for sunset it seems!

What a difference a year makes.....

On the preschool bus ride, James and his buddies were buckled in to a 5 point harness system.The adult had to get on the bus to assist at pick-up and drop-off.

And a little over 2 months later as he starts his kindergarten year...yahoo...welcome aboard the elementary bus. Well, I'm sure they're not hanging out the windows, but it's the old 3 to a seat ,hang on to someone going around the corners!

Thanks for not stopping by Storm Earl!

We got off easy...and we are glad!

Bye Earl!

glad we didn't have to use this!
