Our Family

Here are the kids enjoying some wildlife in Denver. Note Grace holding the taranchula in the top picture. Sure that one will disgust h...

Here are Grace and Jack breaking in the new keyboard for Grace's piano practice. She loves the lessons.

Here is one of Grace not faking the smile too much. Often she tries too hard to smile and ends up looking like a face-lift gone seriously ...

Here is Grace showing off some "Abstract Post-It" art. A rare art form, but appreciated equally around our home.

Here's Jack coloring a few days after the Tee-ball bat incident. You can hardly see where the bat caught him on the cheek. Tough lit...

Here's Grace striking a pose with some of her new creations.
