Joseph's First Haircut....

He was traumatized, but oh so handsome!

Wellll...

At last...here are some new photos of our family...check the album links...new stuff is under Sports and School and Winter/Spring 2009.....

...yummy...

Some things are just better when you're a kid....

...man lessons...

Joseph receives his first instuctions concerning manhood: "The Many Uses of a Socket Wrench". For the practical part of the course Nicholas shows Joseph how to secure the drum of a front loading washer.

Next he'll be expected to participate in a series of conferences to include a panel of neighbors and friends: "Appliance Heaving: A Cooperative Alliance on Loading This Thing into The Bed of a Dodge."

Tomorrow between naps they'll discuss ways to soothe aching backs.

....hmmmmm

Hmmmm... Something may have gone wrong with the Christmas tree cookies...

...congrats Rachael...

We spent the last week in Albuquerque celebrating our Aunt Rachael's graduation from nursing school... And (surprise!) engagement. Here she is trying on some scrubs for her new job. We're proud of you, Rach!

Fun at the airport

Having fun at the Savannah airport on 12/19.

...uh oh....

This is why you look when your baby gets quiet.  We're glad he knows which way is up, but it's not quite what we had in mind for potty training!

 

Another photo

Kate at the museum. Her desire to learn outpaced our ability to keep up.

...fun at the Mall...

Sometimes I'm amazed at the charmed lives of our children. Here they are getting their first taste of the nation's capital. After our stroll on the Mall, we spent the rest of the day at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. Kate enjoys our excursions, but ironically, she is always happiest when we lounge around at home. Perspective matters, I suppose.
