A peak into Halloween this year

The boys are all about Superman. And flying. And killing bad guys. And flying. And capes... You get the picture. 

Limo in Paso

As a special treat, we decided to get a limo one day while we were in Paso Robles. It was a great day, and I just wanted to share a couple of shots. Fun!

Family Trip to California

Wow! I can't believe we actually made it to and from California with everyone surviving. It was a great trip with lots of great connections with friends and family. Below are some of the pics from this great trip.

Good-bye summer

With the cooler weather setting in, I feel the need to say good-bye to summer and the many visitors it brought us, especially those whose pictures I took, but didn't get around to posting (until today, that is). The specialness of summer is very clear for me now. The less structured days. The longer daylight hours. The pool and water outdoor fun. The little t-shirt and shorts pj's and clothes. The easy excuse for popsicles because it's just too darn hot NOT to have one. Then, the resulting popsicle mouth of various shades of purple, red or blue. Comparing whose tongue has the cooler color. The stickiness of hands after a frozen treat, but the elation (and sugar rush, no doubt) of getting that treat all the same. I miss summer already. But, I am also very ready for fall.

Piggies

Sorry for the video quality. I just got a new camera, but was using the old one for this video. Regardless of the quality, the video is pretty cute.

Bicycles

The boys practice riding their bikes in our clean garage (thanks again to Uncle Justin!). Woo hoo!
