Daddy's Home. New Flash!

We had a nice dinner at home the other night where Chrissy made some wonderful pork stir-fry. Here's a beautiful picture of Lauren that I really love. She did a good job eating her dinner; she even ate the broccoli on the plate.
Ellie had a good time too. I dropped two pictures on here that I think were very cool. These pictures in this post with the first representing Tim's new flash: a cannon speedlight 580EX II. Tim also had a lot of fun postprocessing the images in Adobe lightroom.

The Venturas come to visit

It was great to see the Ventura's when they visited us recently in Alexandria. They were able to play with the girls take a tour of our small home and BBQ in our backyard. The best thing about it was that Paul is a master BBQ or and we get to enjoy the fruits of his labor. It was a beautiful day out and we enjoyed sitting in the back yard and talking. Afterwords, Shannon Allen came over and babysat for us while we went downtown walk around the harbor and eventually stopped for dessert in the majestic, a great little restaurant in the heart of old town.

Here we are posing for a picture down at the harbor. The evening was absolutely gorgeous.
Here's a picture inside the restaurant.

How Sweet it is

Lauren's Preschool had an end of the year program to showcase the children's talent. It was lots of fun, and a welcome way to spend a hot and humid Saturday morning.

Memorial Day Weekend in Vermont

We enjoyed a fun weekend in Vermont with Chrissy's family. Fun was to be had by all during a fun visit with Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Texas Falls was beautiful. Lauren loved the waterfalls.

Mother's Day Breakfast

Lauren and Tim prepared an excellent pancake breakfast in celebration of Mother's Day. Lauren enjoyed adding blueberries to the batter and wearing an apron.

Ellie and the Mud

Here is our pretty little Ellie, who enjoyed playing in the mud after a recent rainstorm.


Look at these feet!
