Nature!

 Here are some non-kid shots I like.

Christmas in Colonial Williamsburg.

Handing Down to the Next Generation

A Fishing Master

Cecilia was a GREAT caster. She can't wait for the spring, so she can fish with her new Princess Pole.

Gareth talked to the fish. He tried to convince them to take the "bait"

Grass is the only thing we caught.

Yard Work

Working in the yard with Daddy. In honor of the sunny days ahead when all the yard work of the fall will start paying off.

Cozy Snuggles

Home again! I had a great weekend out of town but I love being at home. This picture is my favorite thing about home life. Snuggling.

Since You've Been Gone

A favorite photo of Joshua and I. 

In honor of how much I'll miss him this weekend while we are apart.

Mommy! Look!

One Sick Week!

 We took this photo to give to the Parkers, some of our friends who all had the flu. But it well illustrates how we all felt this past week. We each (except Joshua) struggled with sickness. Fevers and aches! BLAK! We are ready for spring.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Gareth drew him and his friends, along with something unusual.

WE DID IT! 

I wasn't sure we would be able to make all our Valentines this year with all three kids in school. Luckily their parties were spread out. Happy Valentine's day from us!

Today Gareth and Audrey celebrated Valentines at their preschool.  Here are some photos of Audrey's first day of school in January. Gareth was so pleased to take her to her class. And as you can see, she was a blur of excitement!

Snowball Attack

Rainy Days

 

We had some overcast days here in Hickory, but this photo makes the clouds worth it.

Jumping Joshua

Jumping off a dune at Jockey Ridge, on the Outer Banks. Whenever Audrey sees this photo she always exclaims, "WHOA! Look at Daddy!"

Smooth Criminals

Gareth and Audrey love wearing Daddy's hats. On this morning they got in touch with their inner soul.

Curlers & Flattery in Imitation

Cecilia loves to have her hair curled. Audrey loves to be like her sister. So when the curlers come out, Audrey begs to have her hair curled as well. This isn't a great photo, but it's a great memory.
