Hannah leaping into the sandbox.

In the Sandbox

The neighbors built a sandbox in the yard this summer; Hannah runs for it as soon as we open the door.

At our final destination with no shoes.

That’s Not Funny

While they find it hilarious, Daddy is usually not amused to find the girls have taken off shoes and socks during a trip.

Slumping but happy in the high chair.

Saved from Sisters

When Daddy gets home, the girls want to wrestle; that’s when Stephen goes from the floor to the high chair.

Having a little taste of ice cream.

A Rare Treat

A recent ice cream purchase was well received by all, but Hannah was definitely the most enthusiastic!

Elisabeth having fun with random items.

Her Own Thing

Elisabeth enjoys playing independently; here she is doing…something with two badminton rackets and a soccer ball.

Yes girls, this is messy!

Make a Messy

If five toys are good, twenty five must be better; this is why our girls often “make a messy” in their room.

Balloon landing near our house in 2007.

No See Balloon

“Go see balloon” echoed nightly through the house last summer; inclement weather limited flights this year.

Stephen concentrating on a favorite toy.

Some Serious Playtime

Stephen is in the “grab everything” stage, often concentrating very hard on the item he wants to get (and chew on).

Finding her own cheesy pose.

Most Definitely Cheesy

Elisabeth either runs or shouts “cheesy” when she sees the camera; on this occasion she did the latter.

Deborah tries her hand at the traditional English.

Traditional English Breakfast

Once in a while on Sunday after church we enjoy our version of the ‘traditional English breakfast’.
