gorilla attack

 
Here we are being attacked by a gorilla. This kind of thing happens to us more frequently than one might imagine...

happy birthday to cousin kevin

 
woo-hoo!

teambuilding day at the office

ferris wheel

 

Daddy said we were in meetings. We said, No, Daddy, we're at the fair. Something about team-building, he said. That's why the whole office was there together. He told us not to tell anyone. Anyway, here we are having fun!

what a view

 

silently we perch, looking, waiting, longing... shhhhhh. Don't say a word. We're never this quiet for this long a stretch. Patiently we peek out the window through the bushes to see...
The garbage truck in action!

scholastics

 
Where do I sign up to be a marine biologist?

what a babe

 
Boys all call me baby. But daddy says I'm nobody's baby but his.

gone fishin'

 

Someday I'll be a fisher of men.

this is what happens when it rains all summer.

Grace on the table...

Notice the baby on the table. That's what's really important here, folks. What are those parents thinking?

I'm Connor. I decided to blog this photo because it typifies my response to photo-ops. And my response to the price of gasoline these days.

Daddy went a little crazy here. Not only did he recklessly drive a dromedary, but he got sunburned on the Sahara.

Mother's Day

We all know the story: With the first baby you have professional pictures made and pay all kinds of money, because "they'll never be this age again." With the second, you have a good friend take lots of pictures and hope they'll all be smiling for the camera in just ONE of them. After the third baby, you're thankful that they're dressed and don't have spaghetti crusted into their hair...

what we do when it's not raining

i think i can

Just want all to know... This is my debut as a biped. And now that I've begun, I'm building momentum like nobody's business.

big shoes to fill

Daddy wears some serious stompers. Really I can hold my own without those big clumpy "shoe" devices. Just watch me...

In a land of abundance, this is an unfortunate side-effect. Daddy said that we may have affected baby Grace adversely.

my first parade

I'm the Mango Parade Queen. Got the wave down, don't you think? Been practicing with Mommy for weeks now.

Graham turns 4

Concentrate. Think strategically. Keep your eye on the candle. I am Graham. Hurricane is my middle name. Maybe if I blow hard enough, I'll get my wish. Is that how this works?

Grace turns 1

I love you, Daddy, but don't quit your day job. Not to mention, you just spit all over me.

Daddy said it was a really shocking experience having all 3 of us for 17 days without Mommy. But he didn't expect this.

smiling on the inside

 
I'm getting there. It takes me a while to warm up to people. My name is Maria. I haven't had an easy 3 years. Jesus? Who's he? 

Mommy's Trip

 Mommy found us a sister! Well, we actually don't know for sure. We just pray that God takes real good care of little Maria. How do you solve a problem like Maria?
