A Day with Jack and Alex

Today I didn’t have to work so I spent the day with Willa and Jack, who were also caring for a friend’s child, Alex.  We went to the Botanic Garden to meet mom for lunch, and then back to Willa’s for some scooter-riding and sidewalk painting.  Here are some of the day’s highlights, in pictures:

Happy Birthday, Pam!

This is one of our absolute favorite images of Lindsay, sitting alongside Mae the lounge singer in West Palm Beach, Florida.  The whole family gathered there in January of 2000 to celebrate Great Grandma’s 90th birthday.  Mae was the entertainment.

Last Days of Summer?

So, I guess today is the last day of summer, though I’m sure the weather will disagree.  However, in honor of it, here are some pictures of Jack this morning, with a grape popsicle that he also used to create a beard, mustaches and – apparantly – nose tattoo with.  And while we’re on Jack, here are also some pictures of him using his unicycle the other day while I was baby-sitting for him.

Happy Birthday, Daniel and Nicholas!

Happy 8th birthday to my favorite twins!

Daniel, July 2008.

Lindsay, Katherine and I spent an evening together in August 2007 taking modeling shots of each other.  They’re all pretty scary, but I like thi self-portrait Katherine took of us!

Fire Hydrant Fun

Today was the neighborhood’s annual Flatbush Frolic and it was WAY too hot to wander up and down the street looking at the vendors, but we did it anyway!  We were sweaty and tired by the time we were done.  The solution?  Playing in the spray from a fire hydrant!  Jack, Lindsay, Paul, Willa and I all enjoyed the water (though only Jack’s time in it was documented!).

In the far right picture, Jack is making a summer snow angel – though he’s on the concrete, we called it his dirt angel!

Picture of the Week

I FINALLY got the underwater camera Kristi purchased in Puerto Rico in July developed, and this was one of my favorite images.  I remember we wanted it to look like we were swimming in the middle of nowhere, even though right in front of us is the hotel!  And we were standing pretty comfortably where we were, but the waves were bobbing up and down all around us!

Which reminds me, the photo gallery was updated.  You can see ALL the new water pictures by clicking here.
