A Memorial Day Blog!

First, thanks to all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we have the freedom, among many other things, to do this blog.  We try not make controversial statements here, but, because of those sacrifices, we could if we so desired.


Wow! It has been a long time since we last blogged.  I'd say we'll try and do better, but, as you all know, that representation has been made before.


Anyway, we have had a fun holiday weekend with a trip to Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park among other things.  Enjoy the new pics both below and through the Picasa link.

"Let's get moving, you're holding us up!"

A nice shady spot to rest.

Hangin' with the Ichthyosaur!

 "What do you mean, there are Ichthyosaurs behind us?"

 "Petting" the friendly ichthyosaur.  (An exposed back bone that you're allowed to touch).

"Good thing we can't read, right, Noah."

Guess Who is Two!!!

Yep, it's Noah!  Although it's not official for a little over an hour (9:21 p.m.).  I'd offer you visual proof in the form of pictures from his party on Saturday or his birthday dinner earlier tonight.  However, while I won't definitively rule out operator error, it appears Blogger is having issues again.


In any event, fun was had by all, and you can see pictures by following the top two Picasa links.

Noah is Almost Two!!!

Yesterday, Noah turned 23 months old, and he is darn cute.  So, to celebrate (a day late due to having to figure a work around for a blogger program issue), here are some fun pics of Noah and one of Noah and his darn cute older brother!  Also, note the new Picasa link to the left.

 "I think child labor laws allow me to work once I'm two!"

"Darn, you found me!"

Veterinarian? Doctor?

Great buddies!

"Wheee!"

Post Christmas Fun!

As always, there are more fun pics in Picasa.



"Ready, set, go!"


"I'm ready!"

Mom and guys!

We Wish All Your Christmasses Were Merry...

...and that you have a Happy New Year!



"Nice, I was hoping for a smart phone."


"We like books!"


New track pieces incorporated onto the table set-up.


"Cousin Lucy!"


"Presents are fun and require complete concentration."

Fun in the Snow!

Here's a quick video.  I'm sure you all will find it riveting.  :-)  More pics in Picasa.

Christmas is Coming!

We've had a busy, fun month since last we blogged.  Some tree decorating pictures are below.  However, if you follow the new Picasa link, you will also find other fun events and activities as well as plain ol' everyday pics.  Maybe we'll blog again before the new year, however, just in case: We wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
