2011-10-30T18:29:00.002-05:00

Hannah has been talking about this Hello Kitty for two weeks, when we took Beau to Build-A-Bear to get his dog. She is so happy, she took a nap with her kitty today and is sitting on the couch watching TV with her now.

2011-08-11T20:06:00.003-05:00

Beau said his first sentence tonight through screaming tears:

"I want cookie!"

Are you really surprised? It was 5 minutes to bedtime and the kids wanted a snack. So I quickly grabbed an oatmeal cream pie for them to split. Of course, Beau wanted the whole thing and would accept nothing less. I tried to coax him to take his half and then to take a bite or two, to no avail. So I brushed his teeth and put him into bed. He climbed out, crying. Again I tried to get him to take what was offered, but he wouldn't budge. I put him back in his bed and he laid there crying for his cookie. Don't worry, he was asleep within the minute. The moral of the story is: You can't reason with a 1-year-old at bedtime.

You know what they say...

2011-07-25T19:21:00.001-05:00

Buy 'em a swingset and they'll play with the box.

...at the New York Botanical Garden.

Hannah stays dry at the fountain,

feeds the birds,

and surveys the wetlands.

Beau checks the map.

Hannah wants to go to school,

but settles for climbing instead.

New York Botanical Garden

2011-05-03T08:09:00.011-05:00

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy Bronx we found an oasis of peace and quiet at the New York Botanical Garden.

Fordham University is across the street.

It takes alot to maintain all the lovely.

Eggs? Where?

Into the wild, blue yonder

2011-04-02T09:05:00.004-05:00

While visiting Fort Campbell, the kids and I had a little (Ok, a LOT) of time for exploring. This park, as well as the museum across the street, is dedicated to airborne warfare and The Screaming Eagles of WWII fame.

Hannah may be brave enough to peek down the barrel of a helicopter-mounted machine gun...

... but she wasn't having anything to do with Beau and his nuke.

Table for Four

2011-03-29T20:16:00.001-05:00

While Hannah was learning to pedal, Beau's been learning to be a gentleman at the table. He's upgraded from the high chair to the booster chair. He likes being in on the action at dinner time.

Biker Chick

2011-03-29T20:08:00.003-05:00

Watch out! Hannah's tearing up the sidewalks on her new bike. She outgrew her tricycle before her birthday so we surprised her with this half-birthday present. It's pretty much her favorite thing ever.

Swing-swing

2011-03-12T21:04:00.002-06:00

We revisited Charlene's a couple weeks ago and scored big-time in the art department. Hannah had a blast on the tire swing and Beau had just about as much fun watching.

That's not a slice...

2011-03-07T21:32:00.001-06:00

THAT'S A SLICE.

Here are a few more of my favorites:

2011-02-10T10:27:00.003-06:00

Hannah shot these pictures with her very own camera which she got for her birthday. Her skills are really starting to develop-- See how she gets her subject *in* the picture? She loves this camera so she's getting lots of practice!

Obviously she did not take this picture. One of her cousins did, I'm guessing.

Do you like Beau's necklace? This camera Photoshops too!

Baby Time

2011-02-05T22:06:00.003-06:00

This evening the Cooks visited with us for a few hours. Poor Micah needed a little break from the petting, so we gave Hannah and Beau their own "babies." It didn't work, but it made for a cute picture.

Beau's first Band Aid

2011-01-21T10:06:00.003-06:00

(He didn't like it.)

Hannah sings

2011-01-21T09:36:00.004-06:00

This was the final take. She finally made it through the whole thing.
You'd be surprised how often [your name] appears in Hannah's prayers. Of course, applesauce and Wal-Mart also pop up from time to time.

He's just the right size for bedtime snuggles.

Birthday Beau

2010-10-15T12:18:00.002-05:00

Oh Beau. I can't tell you how wonderful these last 12 months have been. You bring so much joy into our home with you're sweet spirit and smile, your giggles and coos. You are so loving, so precious.

I pray every day that you will know Jesus and be used greatly for His purposes. You have so many character traits (already!) that will be used for God's glory if you will yield yourself to His plans for your life. I pray that your Daddy and I will encourage you wherever the Spirit leads you.

May you continue to grow and learn and love. Happy Birthday, son! We love you so much!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy and Hannah

This is what happens when you forget your swim diapers.

This is where it got interesting. Rain. And a lot of it. However, the Lord was good. Little did we know He was only cooling off the day for all the hard work ahead. It was a long couple of days, but we are settling in nicely now. There will be pics as soon as I feel comfortable with the state of things. We're getting there!
