Ring aling ding bros. Barnin' and Baylee Circus

We had a killer, surreal experience at the circus on Thursday. You can tell by the pix that we had a VERY happy Remski. She got to see everything that she hoped to; the horses, the zebras, the amazing elephants (so cute how they grab each others tails) and finally the jumping and dancing tigers. As the horses were leaving the arena Rem yelled out at the top of her lungs, "GOODBYE HORSES, I LOVE YOU!" It was a night to remember. Thx Trev!

Mt. Olympus.... Conquered

It isn't every weekend that we're able to be without the kiddos (thx grandpops/ma). Instead of perhaps sleeping in on the morning without Ben yelling to get out of his crib at 6:45am we were on the trail to hike Oly. All that I can say is that if you haven't taken the opportunity to do it, you're the one missing out. It isn't the easiest walk in the park but definitely worth it. I've done it 7 or 8 times and each time I'm blown away. What did Leo say? I'm on top of the world!!! Something like that anyway.

First Day o' Skool 2009

Can you tell that Rem was a bit excited to go back to school? I don't know where she came from because I was never this excited for school.

Who could resist these sweet faces? Not me. We're thrilled to have Grandmère and Papamark home for a spell. Rem started school today and so I'll post that as soon as I get it off the camera. Why do they have to grow so quick?

Grandma Pugh

Goodbye for now Grandma. I wish that I could fully express my gratitude for you. I'm grateful that you took interest in me and my artwork. I loved talking and producing art with you. I will always love the memories of you teaching me to watercolor. I'm grateful that you put up with me and my friends playing pool at your home and were so gracious to us. I'll always remember having a Tab and peanut butter sandwhich after a long afternoon of landscaping. I'll always be grateful that you were there when I proposed to Julia. Thank you so much. Dieu soit avec toi jusqu'au revoir.
