a quiet morning

"A quiet morning"

I could hardly believe my luck. These moments are priceless!

playing around

Bella protests being upstairs when Caleb is downstairs playing.

Climbing, on the furniture, is nothing new to Bella.

She loves to play by the vent when the air conditioner is running.

Bubble bath

Bella enjoying her bubble "baff", as she calls it.

08.08.08 celebration

The kids got a real kick out of helping me make the pudding for our 08.08.08 celebration.

Mommy and Bella

Mommy and Bella in the backyard enjoying the absolutely gorgeous 75 degree weather.

Wiped out

I thought the house seemed unusually quiet and I was surprised to find them wiped out on the couch together! I couldn't resist taking this shot!

Lovin' Lasagna

Thanks Aunt Vickie and Uncle Chuck

The kids are busy coloring and watching TV at the same time. Thanks Aunt Vickie and Uncle Chuck for the coloring book and markers...they are still using them even though you gave them to Caleb one Christmas.

the gray tote

I am surprised that they can still fit into one of these gray totes together. They have both taken a huge growth spurt this summer.

Glued to Pooh

Thanks Amy for the Pooh show...Bella is absolutely glued to the tv when it's on.

Sunsets at our new home

I took these pictures of the sunset after a major thunder and lighning storm this evening. I just love getting to watch the storms roll-in. And our new view of the Ohio River and the sunsets are one thing I will never get tired of.

No fear at all
