Enjoying a trip down the driveway.

The Neighbor’s Toy

Before we departed for Watertown, the kids became very attached to a big-wheel that belonged to the neighbors. They had been nice enough to share, and as you can see, Elisabeth loved it. This picture reminds me to keep an eye out at the local … Read More

First we pray - then we eat.

Learning and Fun

Elisabeth, Hannah and Stephen were all able to attend our Vacation Bible School last week. Deborah was teaching the two and three year old class, but I was only able to attend on Friday night. At snack time I caught Elisabeth both praying and eating.

The other day Elisabeth insisted I take a picture while she held her baby. The doll was dressed in three layers of clothing, including a real diaper, doll clothes and a vest that came down to her feet. As you can tell, this made Elisabeth … Read More

It’s Story Time

A few days ago I determined the girls were bored after a particularly difficult afternoon. We have a few Christian stories on cassette laying around for just such an occasion, so I dug out the old cassette player and let them have a listen. Elisabeth … Read More

Some morning acrobatics.

Some Morning Fun

Elisabeth wakes up happy – very happy. She is often so excited she does a few tumbles and modified somersaults on the living room floor. I caught her just after a crash landing with this shot. Yes, she is a morning person!
