just some pictures

hanging out on memorial day, annie's birthday, jacob's scooter ride with brian, trucks and travel

















blogspot likes to mess around with the order of the pictures I insert. Hmmm... I wonder how to fix this.

the week in review

we started a new job this week. watching cousins. we hope they love it as much as we do. we are having fun exploring st. paul in the afternoons.


animal and plant rescuing/ bird exploring. we also went to menards where jacob did most of the bird exploring and plant rescuing and made about 67 people smile.


annie helping plant a new climbing rose.


St. Paul farmers market. could these two be any cuter? they held hands all on their own.


horse rides to the car! jacob loved this and the chocolate doughnut.




flower finding and hand holding

last day of e.c.f.e.

jacob had his last day of class today. we have enjoyed this program so much. he really has a lot of fun there. we will miss it but he is looking forward to going to sibling care next year while annie goes to class.

pancakes for breakfast

we made pancakes this morning from the tomie depaola book. it was fun for jacob and me!


nothing like starting your day to a little will.i.am

some here. some there. no snow.

a favorite book for both kids.




love this picture of some of this generation.
