Laundry Time!

Bryce apparently decided it would be fun to bury Abigail in the laundry basket today ... Abigail decided it was quite fun also!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Here are the Lost Boys! Spencer is the youngest one, in the front of the photo.

Fall Soccer

How cute are they?!!! Both boys are becoming quite good at soccer! Poor Spencer got the ball right in the face today, of course on the coldest day of the season. He got a nice fat lip ... good battle wounds! But it turned out to be an assist, so that eventually made him happy!

Abigail has learned how to say 'ball' ! She going to be like her mom and be a tomboy ... so far she loves to play with matchbox cars and balls. The other night we asked her to "say ball" and she said "ball", then we said "say mommy" and she said "ball", and then we said "say daddy" and she said "ball". 'Mommy' and especially 'Daddy' had been her favorite words ... I guess we see where we're ranked now, all ready!!

Anything Good in Here?

Cute picture that my mom got today of Abigail climbing into the cubboard! I shouldn't even say it, but by tomorrow she'll probably start dumping out all the cereal boxes and everything else in there!

HA!! I updated my blog before my sister did!!!!!

I LOVE these girly clothes!!!

Kids!

Precious, isn't she?

But look out world ... she'll be trouble!

Bryce's first day of school, he insisted on wearing a tie because that is what Spencer always does! Abigail is begging him not to leave her!!

StoryLand!

Not the best picture, but I love the difference in expressions between Spencer & Bryce!

Camping With Grammy & Grampa

A VERY wet few days of camping still proved for much fun!!

Mimi: A SLUG! This is your son's son, you know!

Spencer ended up wet up to his arm pits! Who says you can't play in the ocean waves in the rain?

Jules, bring back memories?!

Summer Fun @ Mimi's

Grumpers being brave and letting the boys drive his new toy!

Clara (Mina & Thomas), Bryce, Abigail, Lila (Jenny & Doug), and Spencer

Happy First Birthday Abigail

1 already! Abigail has finally outgrown her allergies, and is developmentally catching up so well! She is such a happy and peaceful little girl ... we have certainly been blessed!

 

 

 

Daddy's Little Girl! Shawn went out on his own and decided he is going to buy a rose each year for his little Abigail Rose's birthday!

 

8 Months in a Snapshot!!

Updates, FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now Julie will have to change her blog link from "My sister's never updated blog" to ... something else creative! Following is a bunch of random photos from life at Birch Bog over the last 8 months. We can't believe how much the boys have grown up since Christmas ... even their faces have changed so much! Spencer continues to amaze us with his musical talents, and is now starting to get into theatre. Bryce is the cutest daddy's little boy ever ... and he loves Abigail to pieces. Somedays we really think he may leave her in pieces! Abigail is crawling everywhere, pulling herself to stand, crusing the furniture, and just loves to laugh at her big brothers. I will do my best to keep this blog updated more often from now on! My next challenge is to have Julie get me to blog videos!

 

A visit with the Glancy's: Spencer, Ian, Bryce, Bart & Abigail

Adam, Luke, Bryce & Spencer ... what a crew!

 

Neighborhood Entertainment: soil delivery to the Gregory's!

 

Summer Fun

The boys LOVE swimming at Mimi's pool! Grier even challenged Spencer to swim across the whole pool ... now he'll dive into the deep end and swim across!
