I got this from a friend who knows me well...

Nearly six years to the day...

...just one day shy.

Our little man, less than two weeks old, being baptized by his great great Uncle John.

And today, two handsome men, at the same spot!

Parked

They've been riding up and down the sidewalk for hours. Found them in the garage like this!

"Oh brother!"

Owen just spilled milk and Lauren said, "Oh, brother!" Owen said, "Don't say that, I'm not your brother." We all glanced sideways at each other as Owen said "Oh, I forgot!" Then we all cracked up laughing. Thinking they got too much sun today!

Last game of the season

Well, it's all over now.  No more rushing home from school, tossing some food in their general direction while wrestling through homework only to jump into uniforms and run out again.  But I'm pretty sure they've had a good time with it.  Here are a couple snapshots from their last T-ball game of the season.

Owen guards the plate with a gut-shot... Yer OUT!

I've had enough with this sweaty gear...

Who little ol' me?  Is this a "double hat trick" ?

Yes, my son, payback can be a %!@$ sometimes... like this straight arm'd ball to the chin!

Lauren stares me down for taking her picture... but with those red freckled cheeks who could resist?

It was such a hot afternoon they let the kids cool off in the sprinklers after the game.  They did at least give us fair warning to bring towels today.

"What was that coach?  You said don't touch the sprinkler?  Did you mean, don't touch it like this?"

Now I know some of you may be concerned that she's mastered the "evil grin" so early in life, but honestly at this point I don't think we should sweat it until she gets to the pinky finger at the corner of the mouth, talking about sharks with laser beams.

Breaking news...

Owen has his first loose tooth!

Dusting - a health hazard?

Golf camp!
