Happy Birthday to Josie!

Party #3: at the beach house (Josie thanks you for the hat, Aunt Janet!)

party #2: our house

party #1: At the cottage

More cottage fun

Fishing with Aunt Krysta

"I want to do it myself"

Back at the cottage

Caleb was so excited to go back to the cottage (we should have counted the number of times he said that on the way there). He played in the water and sand all day, had a ride behind the boat and jumped off the pontoon boat.

11 months

Josie starting walking a couple of weeks ago and has been getting faster ever since.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Caleb

Nothing like the look of terror inspired by a new bike.

Diggers are cool (to this 3 year old boy)

let's see--how many fingers is that again?

Wet monkey

It seems that toilet water is appropriate for a monkey-baptism. Today Caleb dunked his baby monkey under, then told me he was baptizing her.

He also bit the top off of a brown crayon, then spit it out and said, "that's not a chocolate chip!"

Walking outside

Self Medicating

I think she wants a refill on the Children's Motrin.

Happy Easter--was that a week ago already? Anyhow, here's the most cooperative picture we were able to get of the kids before church. Josie hasn't yet learned to sit like a girl.

Packed in and ready for a run.
