Paige and her boys

Paige is in the chair in the sweater. August is standing. Ayvind is in
Paige's lap. In the other pictures in the series ayv is trying to eat
his brothers head. He asked that we don't use those pictures....he
feared it would make him unemployable.

Finn taking a picture of her farm for the blog

Finn's Farm

"Giraffe pig shark zebra elephant triceratops t-Rex this is a picture
of my gigantic farm. Crazy animals live at the farm. There's an
anklesaurus there and a platasaurus too." Finn

G20 day

Finn had a day off from school due to G20 craziness. What better way
to spend your day off than slathering babies with lotion and powder?
I can't think of one.

Watching the world go by...

Turtle Turt

We have three toads that we raised up from gooey little eggs that we found at Ohiopyle in the spring. They are now fully toaded out and lovely. Finn takes great pleasure in watching Turtle Turt, Moose and Ms. Viola Haggerty snap up crickets and the boys quite enjoy their hopping about.

It worked

Not to be messed with

Ayvind, August and Oliver: a trio of cousinly trouble.

A weekend with Omi, Grandpa, Uncle Dave and Tia Rissa

Finn likes her brothers.

Ayvie likes beans.

Auggie likes cameras.

Dave and Rissa like the kiddos.

So does Grandpa.

Here We Go, Steelers

Are you ready for some football?!

some summer pictures

Ayvind and August at Honeoye.

Finn with the insect cupcakes she made for her birthday party. You might not be able to tell, but the red stripes around each one's middle is it's belt. Insects do wear belts.

Fourth birthday party!

We have been to the zoo a bunch this summer, this time Finn got up close and personal with a polar bear.

The New Kitchen

This is the new kitchen. After a number of dusty weeks we no longer have a wall between the dining room and the kitchen. It is super.

oooh, i'm hooked

This is fun, and these kids are super cute.

I could do this picture posting all day, but naptime is almost over. I'll have to save more for later.

Some pictures

Finn and Randy admiring each other's new tattoos.

The boys know how to climb the stairs, and quickly.

This is Finn on her first day of school, which was Thursday. She took Hedgie along for moral support. She really liked her first couple of days and had lots to report on and some beautiful crayonings to bring home.

A New Blog

I've decided on this new way to pass on the news of the family to whoever is interested. I'll do my best to add photos and witty commentary often-ish.
