A Most Thrilling Project

the mama never made it after giving birth to a little bull calf. so now greg has a project (one we might take over once the calf gets good at bottle feeding). the kids were delighted! Annie with the big bottle.

All ready for lunch.

Tying into the bottle.

Little Miss Affectionate showing a little love!

Zara worried to be missing out on the action.

Annie and her little assistant trying to feed the calf.

A Weekend of Wonderful Chaos

Candice and her four showed up for a few nites on their spring break. Here are Drew, Molly, Rhett and Grady playing Who Knows Whose Nose? (their own version, of course!) I took Drew and Molly to the library on Friday morning - here is Molly's crown!

Whoops! Stuck in the muck?

Not at all impressed!

Must be warm enough for a picnic in the sunshine...

BBQ'd hotdogs...can't beat 'em!

Another time project for the kids. Painting rocks in the sunshine.

Sunday photos. (with Drew the nerd)

Chaotic photos (taken by Greg...! not bad, eh?)

A Visit From Charlie

Annie and little Charlie - last cuddle before school. Jack and Charlie....doesn't his name fit so well with our kids' names?!!

Tim and Molly - she was as happy with Tim as she was with Charlie. She kept giving him kisses and sitting on his knee!

The new dad! And quite happy about it...

We had a wonderful time with some special Saskatchewan guests! They arrived Sunday for supper stayed overnite with us. The children were delighted with little Charlie and we were happy to see his mom and dad, Amanda and Tyler and pround Uncle Tim!

Florida Vacation - Part One

Waiting at the Chicago Aiport for our flight to the sunny south.

Morning after our arrival...yummy pancakes!

Sunday morning at the park - we arrived at meeting way too early so we had time to play at the park down the street much to the kids delight! This is Greg trying to stand Drew up after going on the tire swing. Poor kid completely loses it...he cannot handling any spinning!

Arrived at Clearwater Beach (west of Tampa). A wonderful spot that we will be sure to hit again!

The hot tub at the hotel...

Our cabanas for the day...

Florida Vacation - Part 2

Greg trying to keep himself dry on the log ride! Smiles for the camera...

The Scorpion - didn't even try it but Greg and the kids did. I think this is the one that they couldn't drag me off of when I was a kid...!

I tried this one with Annie and Jack and it nearly finished me. Felt like I was going to fall off the side everytime...

Busch Gardens photo - a bit out of order. Taken the 2nd day we were there.

A friendly American Alligator

The next roller coaster for Busch Gardens. The next time I won't ride it either but will take photos from about the same spot! Yikes.

A tortoise.

Like the background for the giraffe?

A neat striped guy.

Some funny people with the gorilla!

The boys and their buddy.

Annie having a cool sip of pop in our very expensive water bottle! Refills for just 99 cents - steal of a deal!

And on to SeaWorld...

A great show - Clyde and Seamore take Pirate Island.

The infamous drinking bottle - about refill 20!

Drew and Annie with Macy Jordan - no photos of her parents!

Mr Freckle Face (wonderful, eh?)

Bug Face!

My four wonderful faces...! Just before the camera died! (2nd last day...I forgot the cable for the charger!) This was at Disney.

And one shot of the castle...then the camera gave up the ghost!
