August & September-Welcome Fall:)

August is the beginning of football, so the kids enjoyed tailgating at daddy's games:

And a few shots of finishing out the summer:

*Maddox trying to reason with the cat

September- Grandmama had pictures made of Maddox at 18 mo (tradition for all grandbabies) and he is hamming it up:

We celebrated Tovi's 3rd birthday and enjoyed an afternoon at the park:

And two videos just for fun from the party:

*Tovi does love the shoes now but she is a balloon girl at heart:)

*Maddox has chosen to believe that one of his favorite foods & the eight-legged sea creature are both called 'applesauce'

He is not in there....

***OOPS!  Never published this one from end of APRIL***


We made resurrection rolls to celebrate Easter (no picture-oops!) and for a while Tovi would just blurt out, "He is not in there..."  Of course I was slow on the draw and it took me a while to realize she was repeating the only thing she remembered from the resurrection roll story.

Not a bad thing to remember though...it is why we hope!

Catching up...

Marvelous May

Tovi's cuddling criteria:  feels too sick to fight it:)
