Lots of Pictures Tell A Story

Today we went back to the Occularist.
Dennis finally got his new eye! The gap on the inside is much smaller and the eye is more round. When I took this picture, he eye was still a bit puffy from having the eye taken in and out so many times while the Occularist was making adjustments-- but it is wonderful!

Gosh he is a handsome little guy!
I loved how Adam was playing with Alex.
Grandpa did a great job of entertaining Dennis. Dennis loved showing Grandpa his car collection.
More of Adam with Alex and Dennis

This was dinner the other night. So easy. Adam cut up a sirloin roast of some sort and I slow cooked it with some seasonings and olive oil drizzled over it. During the last hour of roasting, I added the carrots and potatoes. Right before taking it out of the oven I poured a jar of brown gravy over everything and let it simmer for five more minutes. Eating it made us feel so warm and cozy while the rain poured down outside.

Here is our scrapbook table. Rachel and I are decorating a few pages a week.

Here is Jonny the first night he was sick. He is finally getting better but is still running a fever.

Adam had a big Spanish project due the other day. It was really awesome to see how Rachel volunteered to help him with the note cards and pictures. Together, they busted it out in no time!

Caleb is so good on the drums for Guitar Hero-- I hope he decides to take drum lessons next year!

Sniffle--- this was the last pomegranate of the season. It was so delicious!
Rachel and Annalyn decided to do a puppet show. It provided hours of entertainment for many of the kids.

You know, I have noticed a sort of trend in the things that you post. The thing I have noticed is that it seems that whenever anyone needs help with their homework or projects that Rachel is always willing to lend a hand! Great Job Rachel! Its wonderful to see you help all the members of your family so willingly how responsible you are becomming!
Dennis does look amazing with his new eye! He looked great with or without it. Hes sure is a cutie!

I'm sad to only be able to see a few of these pics. Unfortunately I can't see the pic of Dennis with his new eye. When I click on it, it says "the link has been broken". I'll have to check back later. :\

I always love reading about your family and looking at your photos. Thanks for sharing.
