Misc. December Photos : These pictures were all taken by Rachel -- she snagged Mom's camera. I think it's so interesting to see her perspective of the world...she sees Skyler so differently than we do, it seems.

Playing in the Park - July 2008 : There is a park with a water playground just outside of one of the rinks where Rachel skates. We often play there after skating lessons. It was one of the hottest days of the year, so I decided to strip off all the layers the kids had been wearing inside the rink and let them play in the water playground. Rachel headed for the water right away. At first, Skyler was content to just play in the grass, but before long, even he was drawn to the splishing and splashing. Boy, did they get wet!

Misc March Photos : Just misc photos of the kids. Skyler always tries to grab the camera when I take his photos, so most of the shots of him show him lunging toward me. Got a little into doing close-up studies of the kids' eyes for some reason.

Rachel's School Christmas Program 2007 : Rachel's preschool Christmas program was on Thursday, Dec. 13. She was all dolled up for the occasion! (Sorry the photos are a little fuzzy -- there were a variety of mitigating factors, not the least of which was the photographer! I forgot that I'd been playing with the flash settings until about 3/4 of the way through the program.)

Rachel's 3rd Birthday : Rachel woke up Feb. 7 to a fishy birthday surprise! Mommy and Daddy woke her up with a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday and her own special birthday cupcake, complete with candle. After she got dressed, she came downstairs to find all kinds of goodies for her school party and a huge bouquet of Nemo balloons. She had a great Nemo party with her school friends! The party continued to the weekend with a full-blown princess party! We had originally planned to go ice skating, but a new fall of snow and the birthday girl's bad cold prevented that portion of the party. Instead, cousins Maggie and Josh, and friend Taylor came to Rachel's house for food and fun. "Cinderella" and "Belle" stopped by to play with Rachel (at the end of the day, she said that was her favorite part). The only things she said she wanted for her birthday were balloons and birthday cake, so the house was literally filled with balloons and a sweets table had several types of cake available. The kids all had a great time and Rachel couldn't have been more excited!
