Chillin' Out

Poor Andrew, he was swinging around some metal object and dinked his own eye! Nothing like frozen vegetables to make it feel better! He turned 8 this week and so tonight we are going to John's Incredible Pizza for fun and food! Earlier in the week we had made a cake for him and had him open presents but I accidentally deleted all the pictures. I was so bummed-- but oh well.

Julia and Dennis look too sweet in this photo-- don't you think?

So do Rachel and Alex.

And for that matter, so do Alex and Dennis.

Our copy of Smiles and Trials 2007 came in the mail. All of the kids have enjoyed looking at it-- but it is Annalyn who has taken the time to read through it cover to cover. Even the stories about her (getting in trouble) made her beam from ear to ear. She said that the book brought back many wonderful memories for her. Bless her heart.

She enjoyed reading the stories outloud to her siblings.

Here is a close-up shot of Sveta and I. Gotta love those candid shots!

Alex has taken it upon himself to make a cozy place for himself in this toybox. Well maybe he had a little help from one of his big brothers.
