Jack's First Week

Nora Ballerina

Sorry about the red eye on these--couldn't adjust because of the dark room. You get the idea...

Happy Easter!

Gymnastics with Miss Amy and Coach Dave

I was allowed in the gym for the kids' final gymnastics class for this session. Pretty funny. Owen was quite the chatterbug, telling Miss Amy, "I'm tired today. I got up too early"; refusing to do somersaults over the bar; and purposely knocking over every cone along the balance beam. What a rebel! At least in the gymnastics world, that is. They claimed to love it though, so we'll start the next session next week. Nadia, Bart--look out!

Halloween 2008

Sorry. I don't know what happened here. Not the best pics we've ever taken. But you get the idea. Nora's dress played music from Sleeping Beauty; Owen was called everyone from Dash to Jack-Jack, but he insisted he was Mr. Incredible. And look at those well-carved pumpkins! My husband, the anal-retentive carver. No stencils were used at this house!

Young Scientists

We had a great day at the Museum of Science & Industry, enjoying the hatching chicks, huge model train, farm equipment and, of course, our wonderful friends: Alejandro, Libby & Emma, Sophie & Evie.

MN

Our latest trip to MN was as fun as ever, albeit too short. We especially enjoyed spending time with our California cousin, Kelly, and of course, Uncle Bo-Bo. Happy 40th, Jim! We're not far behind...
