Here's the big brother to those 2 sisters above - and today we went bowling...ugly shoes and all! July 2008. (He beat Cici & Bees, by the way...No kidding!)

It's hard to tell about this in a picture, but this is a really cool exhibit/activity at McWane Center. July 2008.

J3 at McWane Center : "changing a tire" for a damsel in distress...July 2008.

J3 at the McWane Center; July 2008. This was his 2nd trip there. You can go there 100 times & still not see it all or keep up with all the new additions exhibited.

OK - SO this is our first experience with tee-ball...can ya tell?!?
Here's the player we root for!

One of several hits #16 got this past weekend at tee-ball games.

One of our favorite places - and our all-time favorite beach!! Here's the Florida-area where I grew up!

And guess who went there this past week ... Here we are walking down to the water. We all had so much fun down there!!

They could play in that sand for HOURS... I mean that!

You'd laugh, too, if you saw Belle in the picture below:

Talk amongst yourselves, Dahling - I just got up & the light is waaay too bright for me now... (Check out the leg crossed, the upside down glasses, & the Dora night-gown) She's a HOOT!

This speaks volumes; from the popsycle around the mouth to the typical little boy scrapes (we call them each another badge of honor) , and the CRITTER he is letting crawl on his arm!! Eeewww.

Anna Clare's Christening Day in April. She's wearing the same gown that both Belle & Joseph wore for theirs ( each child's name & Christening date is monogramed on the inside bottom of the gown).

Pretty little Belle on Palm Sunday, 2008.

Blowing out the candles...

Anna Clare at roughly 5 weeks. She is the sweetest baby!

Our favorite boy in the world!

Skiing, anyone?! We dont' see snow around here often, so we all got a little excited! This is one of the holes at the Golf Club.

One of my favorite holes - sure is lonely-looking today!

Betsy's here for Anna Clare's arrival, her own b'day, & family-Christmas. A trip to New Orleans followed - see below.
