This one makes me think of what it might feel like to be a small, woodland creature.  

Grandma's cat, Max, is huge! He isn't even a year old and Abby already has a hard time holding him. Hmm...maybe he will appease Abby's desire for a horse? 

There is a cool thing by the stadium that they built for the olympics, and they light it up at night with changing colors--funky.  

This is why people pay big money to live on the bench. 

Oooo...night shot. As you can tell, Jeff is having great fun taking pictures, and I'm having great fun looking at the pictures. 

A cool shot of stairs. (By the way, if you haven't been to the city library, it really is a neat place with lots to do and see.) 

More peaceful library. 

Hey, whatchoo lookin' at, Willis? 

A cool shot at the library. 

Jeff got some great pictures of Sam while he was out playing on the playground, but this is the cutest shot of his smile by far. I especially like how his eyes are all crinkled up. What a handsome guy. 

Here's just more evidence that Jonah is multitalented when it comes to coordination. (He can stick out his tongue while swinging in case you couldn't figure it out.) 

We're going to be in big trouble in about three to five years. 

This picture reminds me of the movie Charade because in the scene where Cary Grant's character comes to Audrey Hepburn's character's apartment, the light is behind him (kind of like how the light it behind Hannah), so they put tape on the backside of his ear to prevent it from glowing. Just a bit of trivia for ya. 

Abby's finest

The camera works so well that you can see how chapped Hannah's lips are. 

Here's one of Sam

 

Awww...

Jeff got a new camera, and the kids are loving it. They keep making these way too cute faces whenever he has his camera out. 

Heads up!

Last Sunday, Abby came up to me with a disturbed look on her face. It took me a moment to look past her big, baby blues and notice the unsettling bump developing on her forehead. Jonah had thrown a dinosaur at her with the express directions to watch out (obviously his attempt to warn her was not sufficient). She is doing much better now; her forehead has a greenish tint with a small scab is all. We're all grateful that she didn't require a brain scan and that she and Jonah continued to get along--at least for a little while. 

Our little burrito

After falling off Abby's shoulders and smacking his head onto our fuzzy tile floor, Jeff comforted him by wrapping him up in his Big Bird blankie. While he doesn't look very enthused, he asked his dad to wrap him up "like a burrito" the next day, so it couldn't have been too bad. However, it's way too claustrophobic-looking to me. 

Someday my prince will come

Last Sunday while Jonah and I were at church, the three other kids created a production of "Sleeping Beauty." There was singing, dancing, and even kissing. We were very proud of all of them and their artistic abilities. We're looking forward to more productions (and pictures).
