Allie shops for fun in the sun!

Dreams come true at IKEA ;-)

Ah Road trips...

Note that James loves his Pasta so much he prefers to have it travel on his lap!

Just uncovered this...Rose in Luke's arms

And, that's Allie's little hand coming over to protect her. :-)

The gang in Italy

Love Luke sporting my sunglasses, and Allie's chocolate smeared face! ;-)

One smart duck...

Hope you can see this phone picture.. This female apparently for the
last 3 years has returned to this shwanky home depot greenhouse type
store to lay her eggs and wait. Allie and I came across her today as
we were shopping for compost for our tomatoes. I did a double take
because there I was in the back of the shop, no one else, just me and
this duck and her nest. I got allie to come over and she couldn't see
her at first as this mommy was so well camouflaged! She certainly has
outsmarted the British foxes after her eggs!

French Riviera Allie

Sipping her hot chocolate on the terrace.... We are all busy squinting
through breakfast, the kids are going through culture shock to this
sunny climate!

Flower Power

Happy Easter!

No comment

Love those cheeks!

Back when Luke was 7

Johnny A. giving Luke a try at the trumpet

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

Ooof only a face a mother or father could love! ;-)

Early morning lesson

The easy chair ;-)

Happy travelers

Luke playing this past summer in Ireland

Fun in the school playground!

Ack! Stuck with the camera phone again, but better that than nothing!

Finally!!!

Yes, It's more like her half birthday, but we finally were able to settle a date for Allie's celebration with her friends.
She has planned and planned away for it, talking each week of what we could do at her party...
I think for sure this is the most organized we have ever been for a party!

The teacher...
