Thinking of snow

This morning the kids and I started thinking and hoping for some snow this year. Then later in the afternoon we got a new computer for Karen and had to start looking through some old CDs looking for some install disks. In the process I found some old movies I backed up to CD several years ago. Below is one of a big snow storm in 2003 featuring the first new member of our family - Tipper.

Tipper is a year and a half old in this movie; still with the puppy spirit. And actually, even at seven she's still got a lot of puppy in her.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a simple Thanksgiving today, though Karen made a great feast. Our friend Ken joined us in the afternoon and for dinner. All in all a nice quiet holiday.




That is, all quiet until Jacob threw up about 15 minutes ago...

Tipper makes a great catch at about 1:10 into the movie.

Back From Louisville, KY

The family crew hit the road last week for Kentucky to see uncle Marc get married. The wedding was great, all went well, and Faith was super cute as the flower girl. We also really enjoyed Louisville, except for the drive...

Another One Bites The Dust

Two teeth gone in a week. At this rate he'll be ready for an all liquid diet soon.

Another tooth bites the dust

Jacob said that his tooth was wiggly at dinner and was bleeding. When we got home I touched it and it came out. It wasn't even the top tooth that has been lose for 3 months. That one is still there but will probably be gone soon. It was amazing how quickly he was willing to go to bed when I told him the tooth fairy only comes when all the kids are sleeping. You can see on the bottom the 2 new teeth that have since grown in.

End of the Soccer Season

Kids had great games today. They've really come a long ways. Faith was a bit slow to start but then kicked it into high gear for the last half. The boys were great; very focused. Below is a slideshow followed by a video of Jacob's score.

Backyard in Autumn

Kids were out making leaf piles this morning having a blast, until I came out with my camera!

Election Day At The Zoo

Karen took the boys to the zoo yesterday, while Faith still had pre-school.

Jacob, Jacob, Jacob

Tonight was a good one... Sometimes jacob even outdoes himself! For Halloween the kids got glowsticks, so tonight they begged if they could sleep with them. Well, about 15 minutes after going to bed, Jacob comes downstairs crying telling us his glowstick exploded! When we got to his room his walls, bedset, and pajamas were aglow in neon blue. Needless to say we gave Jacob the sponge and he cleaned down his walls. And I think he's going to start earning and saving for a new bedspread.
 
 
 

Soccer Day - The Movie

At 28 seconds into the movie, Jacob passes to Reuben for a score!!

Soccer Day

Good games all around today. Got a movie to come later with Reuben scoring from an assist by Jacob.

For now some pretty good stills...
