Out and About

The kids and I have been trying to get out lots these days ~ the weather is so lovely now...not scorching H-O-T! Can you tell I'm happy that this summer ended? Anyway, where was I? We've been busy, especially running to Himmel library and the playground behind it lots. We also took a long weekend trip to California for a wedding which was so fun!

This first pic is Michael's hand on our way to California. The kids were a little stir crazy in the car, and even though it was cold and we were going 85 MPH they wanted the windows down. What did it hurt? Nothing and they had so much fun for 45 minutes! I thought I was being so artistic taking this shot. :D


This is Miranda on the swings at our favorite little playground behind Himmel Library. We snapped this and the next pic for Dan one day when he was at work and couldn't come play with us.

Sunday Snaps

One Sunday earlier this month while Miranda was napping we got the camera out and Michael practiced taking and posing for pictures (Mom was trying to get him ready for Christmas card pictures - which did not work!). However, we got some cute pictures anyway.

Beautiful Brown Eyes!


Practice smiling!


Then we let Michael try taking a few photos on his own - how do you think they turned out?
