Where to start?

I downloaded the pictures from our camera and realized it has been a long time since I last did that! So there will be LOSTS of pictures coming your way!! September was a great month. Our friends from Utah who now live in Virginia came up and we had a BLAST! All in all, it was a great month. October has started out great too. Sorry about not having a family photo in our main post. I apparently have to re-learn how to be in a picture without looking terrible. I've been out of touch for too long!!

So we'll start with a random picture post.

Ty has started solids and I made a project of making bibs (thanks for the idea Heidi!). I love them!

Noel likes to help.... Ty doesn't always like her help...

Noel made a doggie for Ty at Build-A-Bear. She named him Woof.

Just hanging out

August Post

We have really enjoyed the back yard this year. Eric put a TON of work into getting grass to grow and building a nice shed. He did a wonderful job! Our garden didn't do well. It was lush and beautiful....BUT it has been raining so much that the tomatoes got pretty rotten and the squirrels ate most of our zucchini. Of well. The butternut squash seems at this point to be doing well, although I did find a baby butternut half eaten in the yard today.... DARN THE SQUIRRELS!!! They better watch it - I will be out with my cayenne pepper!

Books before bed

Noel has to be careful not to get too close to Ty or else he grabs her hair - ouch!

Or other extremidies... Like one's chin

But over all she loves him

She wanted Bun Bun to be in the picutre too

Did someone say "milk?"

"Yup, that's all there is folks."

July so far...

We love the bike trail. We go for walks almost every day. Lately we've been feasting on wild blackberries... Ummm

The Cohoes Falls are a short walk from our house. We like to take the kids. When my mom came to visit the week of the 4th, we took her there too.

So far a great month. Eric has the new shed built and it looks great. Our neighbors keep saying how much they like it. I can't wait to get our extra stuff in there to de-clutter our house!!

Yes we are still here... Somewhere!

June was nice... It did rain a lot but when it was nice, it was really nice. Yes I know what you are thinking from this picture and no there is NOT fertilizer in that... We're not that cruel!


Our garden... Now it is huge, pics to come

Baby Ty

More Ty - wow he is growing so fast

Little Angel and Tucker the dog from upstairs

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Sorry for the photo drought. I have taken pictures, it is just the time to up-load them that escapes me. Easter was fun and we are now all totally addicted to sugar - STILL. Ty and Noel are growing at rapid rates! Wow, where does the time go? Oh and it looks like after MUCH effort we might actually have grass! I will get some shots of the exterior up-grades soon.

5 weeks and our love still grows every minute

Noel is a wonderful sister. She is a very loving and nurturing spirit. She has had fun this week with her cousins Nicholas and Jake. Ty is cute as always. He is working on his social smile and gaining control of his limbs. Ahh the life of an infant...
