Fall pictures

The annual fall family shoot. My boys love it, well not really. Poor Ethan either is doing something goofy or looks like he's infront of a firing squad. Then there is Abby who is posing like some model, oi! And Owen, well what do you expect from a 4 month old? Any comments as to the favorite family picture please let me know. I need to pick one for the family Christmas cards. As long as I don't look like Dolly. Gotta love nursing :P

I think this one is my favorite...

You tell me if Owen doesn't have that "Ranny" look down pat.

First day of school

This was one happy day!! Seriously. Abby was thrilled to start school and Ethan kept himself to a reserved grin. He's been through this first day thing so many times that I think he's just used to it.
My little monkeys who aren't so little anymore. Ethan is starting Grade 5 and Abby is in Grade 1. Where the time when I have no idea.
Surprisingly enough they love going on the bus. I'm fortunate that they are the last ones picked up and the first ones dropped off. They are on the bus for such a short period of time that its still fun.
Lucky mommy got to spend the whole day with this little sweetie.

What a crazy 2 weeks!

So the weekend before school started we decided to go visit Matt and Nicki and take the kids to the zoo. We hadn't gone since Abby was 2 so she doesn't really remember anything, except for what she sees in pictures. The kids had a great time. Abby was running and exploring everything, I swear she is part mountian goat, climbing on rocks and hills. But she loved every minute of it.

The kids and Auntie Nicki taking a break by the elephants...
Mr Owen stretching out at Matt and Nicki's. The little stinker is rolling over all the time now. Big surprise because he started doing it at 3 months. He'll be crawling before I know it. Ron got this awesome shot of me and the kids. Love it to pieces because I'm always behind the camera. Plus with Owen in front I don't look so rolly ;) Only another 32lbs to go before I'm back to the pre-pregnancy weight. Slowly but surely.

Back to school pictures coming soon...
