Oscar Turns 3!!!

Our big kid...woke up on his special day to balloons in the living room and a new POOL in the front yard! Then donuts with friends, and a special dinner full of his favorite things (tacos, candy canes, root beer) at Grammy & Grampy's house....can't ask for anything more! Neither could we...he is such a DELIGHT! (Birthday kid party photos to follow sometime.)

1-2-3 JUMP!

One of Oscar's (and Dave's) favorite games.

Summer Day

Gotta love a lazy summer day spent entirely outside!!!

Paparrazzi!

A game that Oscar and I like to play together is something we call "Paparazzi!!!" It entails him running away from me while I chase him and shoot pictures all the while shouting "Paparazzi!" It's awfully fun. And the results of my on-the-go photo shoot are always exciting.

Old Fashioned Cars

Oscar is just ga-ga for old fashioned cars. Lucky for him, both his Grampy and our neighbors have one! Every time our neighbor, Jon, starts up the engine to work on it, Oscar RUNS to the back door and yells out, "Hey, Jon! Whatcha doin' to your old fashioned car? Can I come see?" Lucky for us, Jon is SO nice and willing to have an audience. :)

Broken Foot

Did you know I broke my 5th metatarcel? (That's the point on the outside of the foot that connects the pinkie toe to the heel.) Well, I did. And, my oh my what havoc a little bone created! I rolled off the steps the wrong way while holding Ruby and while she was fine from the fall, my foot took the brunt. I didn't need surgery or a cast (thankfully) but I did have to toodle around on a walker and an "aircast" for 5 weeks. Mom to the rescue...she came up for basically a full week. I am so thankful to ALL my helpers (and there were many). Dave's folks put in more than their fair share of hours, too. I'm a lucky gal. I'm still sore on bare feet and limp a bit in the morning, but I am MUCH better.

Shamefully Long Overdue Posting

My apologies. I'm sure life as you know it just hasn't been the same since I've been absent from posting photos. Well, I'm back. Hope you'll accept these few random photos as as acquittal.

O's first big-kid movie: Winnie the Pooh (a 3rd b-day gift from mom and dad)

She's almost 11 months now!!!

Another b-day gift from us to O.

Do I have a cute fam or what?!

'Nuff said.
