Jam Girl

This is proof that she really did help...at least in between songs.

Kiddos Videos

The Gordy video shows how multi-talented he is...walking and playing the recorder at the same time. The Grace video shows how un-multi-talented she is. She had been helping me make jam and as soon as she saw me taking pictures she stopped her work and started singing. I thought it was funny.

Gordy's First Birthday

Here is the Birthday Boy feeling mighty old since he got to sit at the Big Kids table. Gordy definitely felt special on his special day. We love this kid.

Craziness

Life is just going to be crazy. You can either hop on the boat and enjoy the ride or keep waiting for things to slow down. Collin has started working for the Division of Wildlife 90 minutes away from home. Commuting is not really his thing so we're attempting to sell our Darling Downtown Victorian. Too bad nothing is selling right now.

In the meantime, we're enjoying life...and food.

Gordy just likes to eat -- whatever he can.

I like to cook whatever I can. I've been big into garnishing things lately, hence the photo of the Blackberry Lemon Torte.

Grace picked up on the art and garnished the oranges for dinner. I was so proud.

Birthday and Other Fun

Spring has sprung which means we got to clean windows and play on the roof. Gordy is about to sneeze. It's one of his most predictable features.

For the all-day-Princess-Party we had a beauty shop and painted toenails and finger nails. Those are Gracer's cousins who came for the fun.

The favorite meal was again Hot Dogs. This time complimented by Blue-Box Macaroni and Cheese.

Here is the Castle Cake. It looks a lot better farther away like this. The main thing is -- Grace liked it. Let's hope her requests get a little simpler in years to come.

This is just a photo of Happy Gordy.

Family Photo

Our family photo from December. Maybe there will be more pictures to come. We'll see.

Sorry for my bogging absence. But Life sometimes happens.
