Christmas - A Picture Teaser

Someone got a new camera for Christmas. And she was surrounded by some of the cutest subjects ever. Above is my nephew, Tommy. We got to celebrate his first birthday with him on 12/23.

Here are my mom and dad posing at The Reagan Presidential Library.

I love this one taken by Gretchen.

Gabriel being happy, as usual.

"The Birthday Prince"


There is more to come. Just taking my time getting up and running in the New Year.

Wordless Wednesday (2003)

Look who came to visit...

We all had a lovely, lovely time with the Gibson family yesterday! What a blessing to have such dear friends!!

A Little Reading Time

Beautiful

I was exercising yesterday morning...offering up sweaty prayers to God from the elliptical, when I noticed this weird orange-y light coming in through the back window. Given all of the fires lately and strange light associated with them, I was a bit curious as to why everything was so orange. Imagine my delight as I looked out the back window (sweating and panting) to see that sunrise! Beautiful! God was rewarding me for getting up early, I think!!

While I was outside, Gabriel poked his head out. He's always the first one to greet me in the morning. We both stood in awe and watched the sunrise. He got his trusty binoculars to see better :-)

While out there we took a few pictures of the roses, which are extraordinarily beautiful right now. Too bad you can't smell them through the screen!
I will add a couple of pictures of the children taken recently. Here's a good one of Kurt on his way to accost Thurston:
Here are Nicholas and Kurt, enjoying a movie together...how cute!

8 Months Old!

Little Kurt is 8 months old! Can you believe it?? He is sooo adorable! Don't you agree?

Just a quick one

to let you all know we are still alive! Just flagging in motivation :-)

Look what Baby Kurt can do now!

I promise I will give a more thorough update later. I need to post pictures of my cowboy husband.

Piqued your curiosity, didn't I? See, now you'll come back.

Have a great day!

Says Kurt

"Curse the day they realized the American Girl accessories fit me."

How FUN!!!

Bighugelabs.com is fun!

Stay Flexible

This one's for you, Laurie! This is Kurt's way of gently reminding us to stay flexible as we begin our new school year.


Dontcha wish you could still do that?

Nostalgia

Just looking through old pictures. Enjoy them with me!

Yikes!

So, we were coming home after seeing "the movie which must not be named" today and saw this as we drove into the driveway. Our first brush with a brush fire...very close to our house! It actually looked worse than this, but I wanted to get a closer look, so we drove around for a while. By the time we got home, it was almost out. I must admit, I did get a little nervous.

By the way, the movie was very good :-)

Have a wonderful, brush fire-free day, everyone!

Life Isn't Always a Bowl Full of Cherries

So pathetic, but so cute!! All together now. “Poooor Kuuurt!”

Some pictures...

Here, Kurt is helping Gretchen with her Latin :-)



These two pictures demonstrate why it's not all it's cracked up to be being the youngest of 5! Yes, those are handcuffs on his ankles below. You can thank your boys for 'accidentally' leaving them here, Suzanne!!



Mama's Big Blue-Eyed Boy!

I finally managed to get some great pictures of Kurt smiling! Can you stand it? That's a cute kid!!

Some new pics!
