Therese Marie's 5th birthday photos :)

It's hard to believe our little girl is 5... time to take some pictures of her before she gets much older on us!!! 
We love you, Therese Marie Faustina!!!  Happy, happy birthday to our ruby-slippered princess!

Playing in the Trees - Oct 2010


Ryan's so proud of himself :)

Ok, so these are long overdue... but I've been hoping to share these beauties for awhile. :) These are all from October... some from the beginning, and some from mid-month.  An unusually warm and lengthy summer meant that we still had leaves on the trees - some green leaves at that! - in early October.  (Last year, the trees were completely bare before the end of September.)  We were grateful for the extra opportunities to play outside, especially because "the climbing tree" is one of the kids' favorite play spots.   I've even discovered Timmy eating his lunch up there on quite a few occasions. :)

Of course, now that we in North Country are enjoying our typical sub-zero temperatures, it's hard to believe that this was only 2 months ago... but hey, we count ourselves blessed to be able to enjoy all four seasons - even if some are pretty extreme. ;)


Three in a tree!

He's thinking - Woah... that's a big tree........

Studying leaves

I'm not sure what they were seeing...

This one is pretty cute. :)

Pretty little Therese

After about 20 takes... I FINALLY got him to smile! :P

Wheeeeeeeee!!!!

Sorry, son - this doesn't count as a shower. ;)

Our "spooky old tree." ;)
