Anna Clare on Palm Sunday '09. If you scroll through to the 2nd page of pictures & look down through to the 7th or 8th picture or so - you'll see her big sister's picture taken a year ago: they both look great in spring-time green! This was a big day at their church: Palm Sunday processional by the kids, Easter-egg hunt, traditional covered-dish lunch, the works.

J3 & Mom in NYC - Spring 2009

J3 & his girlfriend (Nina) at 100th day school (Pre-K); note what letters spell on their board.

Just as the snow was beginning to fall on March 1 in B'Ham

1 of a bazillion floats in the 3 parades we went to during 2009 Mardi Gras. (Muses Parade)

Famous shoes from Muses parade (Betsy's Krewe) : one of the most popular features. Sorry pictures don't do it justice!

To know me is to know I loved the horses probably as much as any part of the parades.

Christmas 2008

And there were shepards abiding in the fields and some in Huntsville singing Jingle Bells (School Christmas program 2008)

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.
