Summer Days

This blog has been quiet for a while. I feel like singing that song "I'm on vacation far away...everything is cool, everything is fine..."

What can I say, school end madness turned into summer adventures and lazy days.

Another summer is almost over and it went way too fast this year! What did you all do this summer? Share some links in the comments to your adventures.

We had an awesome trip to South Carolina for a family reunion and most recently adopted a new son! Needless to say it's been a big summer for our family. Did you catch the last part of that sentence above, BIG summer is an understatement. haha

If you want to see more from our trip you can view pictures Here,  Here, and Here

But, here are just a few pictures from our trip and one sneak peek of our cute little boy who has been with us now for 2 weeks.

Mohawk

It's been a while since I pulled out the camera spur of the moment, but I couldn't miss this moment. I styled Nicole's hair into a mohawk by serendipity and the next day she got her self dressed like this. Complete picture of our rock star girl! And she wanted to go cruising in her car.

Happy Halloween!

It was a fun Mario themed Halloween for our clan. We had a great couple of days with Jeremy's work party yesterday, and class parties/ parade, and trick or treating today. But it's been a long month with Natalie's broken elbow/ surgery and a holiday. I'm glad all the Halloween stuff is over.

Check out these cuties! Natalie's pink cast even matches her dress.

This Mario catches air!

October is also a special month for some of our friends. Their sweet little boy turned one this month and we got to be a part of the festivities! Debbie made the most delicious fall treats and Bennett looked adorable in his dragon costume.

Such a cutie!!!

Well...until next year.

I'm way behind when it comes to computer matters. Here are some pictures I ordered for the kid's rooms. They will be up in a gallery for grandparents soon. : )

Introducing...

The newest member of our family! No our cat didn't have kittens. Although physically impossible,  Natalie stills asks for our male cat to have kittens! 

He's a little shy! Can you guess what he is?

Meet Milo, our new hedgehog! Isn't he the cutest thing ever?!

Kai is 9!

I can't believe kai is already 9, my little baby is 9! He is such a sweet boy with an incredible mind. He loves art, building with legos, working with lego robotics and folding origami. I had to document this stage and a few of his creations!! He is a very talented and gifted boy.

I don't have many digital pictures of Kai as a baby, that was back in the good old days of film. But I do have lots of prints I need to get scanned.

Kai has always been an adventurous boy, and very curious about how things work. While other kids his age were playing at the park, we could always find Kai inspecting the nuts and bolts on the playground equipment. He loved to see how things went together.

I didn't have any recent pictures of Natalie when I did her birthday post, so here are a few of her too. My shy, elusive girl actually looked me in the eye for a few snaps!

Natalie is 6!

My baby girl is 6 today! Time is flying too fast. I can't believe how big she is now. She is so smart and so silly, and we love her so much. She loves to learn new things, explore her world, collect bugs, color, and the color pink. Most of all she loves her kitty. She is my shy, sensitive little girl. She makes me smile everyday. : )
