A real mix of photos over the past couple weeks...

...and I will have more, but first I need my hubby to download them off my phone for me.

Here Mike is lining up for a landing in Boston...


...right over the cruise ship!
Looking a little mischievous!

When the kids get a hold of the camera, I usually end up erasing the 52 photos they have taken (usually of the floor and household objects), then yell at them... "don't touch the camera!!" Well I had to laugh at the following pictures David took of himself & Kate... and THEN I yelled.. "don't touch the camera!"

he captured Kate reading a story

Bella with her camera pose

and David with some bucket of surprises... usually little 'toads' (not frogs!)
Kate's favourite spot.... washing her hands, and face, and floor, and walls... you get the picture...
a ride to meeting

...and another few pictures taken by Bella.

Last Sunday Kevin spent the day with us while the rest of his crew was at convention
and a charming picture of Mike
This is what I deal with every day...

"No picture MEEEEE"

... I caught her one morning talking to 'grandma' on her little phone
Oh, is that a smile I see??? Is she actually content with life, if but for a moment!!
I added a little zebra print in the living room (which you can hardly see, but I tried!)
Getting ready to go shopping
no, the balloons stayed home... and I only had to ask once!!

braised red cabbage... it was just such a pretty picture, the green apples matched the pot (yes, only I would think of that!)
Last week was a Kindergarten Kick-off Party for Bella, complete with a fun ride on the bus. Here they are getting all lined up...
our little school girl.... WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Dale & Laura, Austin & Bronson stopped by on Saturday for supper...
