After a bath, Megan’s hair is curly while it is wet.  As it dries, it sticks up all over the place.

I think it is adorable!

When Mark was born, a Sunday School Class sent a HUGE care package full of surprises for us.  They sent Mark a Pooh Bear, Eeyore, Tigger and Piglet rattle toys plus other toys. But he liked his Tigger the best.

For his first birthday we got him this Tigger. We  had asked Allan’s parents to buy him one. They brought it when they visited us when Mark was 9 months old.  Sam sent a smaller one that Mark loved too.

Mark still likes his Tiggers, but shared his collection with Adrian, who loves Tigger too.

Happy Birthday Mark!

Daddy and I are so glad that God gave you to us.

You are growing into such a wonderful young man. I love your wonderful hugs, your sense of humor, and your love of people. I wonder where that combination will take you.

I love you  very much, Mark!

Yesterday, Megan slept most all day. So, what do you do when your little one is ready to play and it is late? You play with her! So here is our midnight photo session.

Megan finally fell asleep just after 1:00 and slept until 5:45.  Now if she would only move bedtime a few hours earlier!

Ever wonder what Tigger looked like as a baby?

Did you know when he grew up he turned into a pirate?

According to Tigger, this picture looks funny. He doesn’t have his stripes on his face or the pink on his nose. He likes the picture though.

He likes Pooh bear, she is funny.  Tigger loves Pooh Bear. Yesterday, Pooh Bear had some glitter on and Tigger liked that.

What a beautiful fall day! We went to Oxbow for Science Class.  It was chilly, but we had fun looking for animals and tracks.  After lunch and some reading time, the kids went outside and raked a huge leaf pile to play in. As I took the leaf pile picture, the kids yelled, “Hi Opa and Oma!”

I love these pictures of Audrey!

Adrian loves when the older children have Science Sleuths and he can go on his date with Momma.  This afternoon he was able to take his little sister to one of his favorite playgrounds. He also got to take her on her very first bouncy horse ride! While Megan did not enjoy the ride as much as Adrian, she still had fun.

We heard some turkeys, so went exploring. We were not able to find them, but hope to look for them the next time we are at the park.
