Catching Up

I have been guilted in to updating the blog. Since there is nothing real recent in our pictures folder, I will put a few out there that are fairly recent. I ope to get better at updating this thing, so it won't take so long between posts, but then again, I think I might be the only one reading it anyway.

Last week it was great to have Gallagher's virtual B-Day party. We decided to have a quiet evening as a family, but did a web call with G-ma and G-pa when we opened presents and ate cake. They said that the cake didn't taste as good to them. That was pretty fun, and now the G-man is 7.

While these pictures are not of that event, they are pretty good. Next time I will post some of the B-day ones.

A while back, Kim brought over some cupcakes for a treat after Sunday dinner. The colorful frosting made them a big hit. Gallagher's tongue started matching his shirt before long:

Eleanor had chosen a more gentile color, but the result left her looking a bit jaundice for a few days:

Atticus dove right in, as only Atticus can:

Then dad got involved.

Then mom:

Until next time.

Spenny and Jencer Visit

Memorial Day weekend has brought with it a welcome visit from Spencer and Jenny from Champaign. It is always so great to see them and have them come play with the kids. Spencer is always the main attraction, it is like mom and dad aren't even around when Spencer is here, or as they have taken to calling him - Spen.



Here are some pictures of our Sunday afternoon. 1)Spencer, Jenny, Gallagher and Atticus watching a movie, 2) Atticus monitoring the movements of Zoe, 3) Eleanor "napping," 4) Ane avaoiding being photographed for the Blog update, and 5) Garth blogging.

An afternoon at the Snow Spa

Atticus and I got to spend some quality time together today. Gallagher is off at his friends house and Eleanor is fast asleep. We decided to have our own spa. He of course couldn't relax and just lie there. It was way more fun to splash in the water. If I can provide dirt, rocks or water, Atticus is a happy boy.
