What's Been Going On???

We've been enjoying some family time lately. It's the little things that matter most, you know?
Brusha, Brusha, Brusha!!!




Our family self-portrait. There may be some family resemblance...:)


Joe is already learning by example. Guess we need to talk less on the cell phones in the car from now on!!!

Home Sweet Home

Here are some shots of our sweet little bungalow. We love this place, and always will. It has always looked best in the springtime.


I do so love a corner lot. It's not for everyone, but it makes us happy.
Our landscaping is 4 years old this summer and finally starting to look mature.


All I can say is, what a heavenly tree. This big old Oak is my pride and joy.

John Deere Green

I don't know who is happier, Dan or Joe, that we now are the proud owners of a John Deere riding lawnmower. Dan loves it's ablilty to cut the lawn in 1/2 the time. Joe loves riding with Dan (without the blades turning & very slowly, of course). As long as they're both happy and I don't have to mow the lawn, that's alright with me! (But I really would like to mow the lawn on it at least once someday...)

A Mother's Creedo

Repeat after me:

I WILL NOT waste money buying new toys, whether they claim to be "educational" or otherwise.

I WILL save all manner of boxes, paper tubes, baskets, etc. because my child prefers playing with them anyway.

I WILL disregard the first sentence upon entering any toy store with my child.
