Harland's First Day of 4-year old Preschool

Emerson's First Day of First Grade!

Waiting at the bus stop.

Emerson and Isaac, our next door neighbor, who rides the same bus with Emerson and goes to the same school (the school Jim started! Go Dad!).

Taking Time To Smell The Flowers...

or, in Estella's case, to kiss them.

Cutest Girls in the World

Our next door neighbor, Iris...

and Estella!

I love you, Mini...

and I love your sense of humor! (The Batman movie is filming in Pittsburgh right now.)

Santa's Village

Emerson, Harland, Estella and Aunt Jenny on the Sleigh Ride. This trip was made possible by gracious Aunt Jenny who saved the day on numerous occasions--Thanks, Aunt Jenny!

Horseback Riding at the Lancaster Street Fair

At Our "Cabinet"

Watching TV with Blankees and thumbs.

"Estella, what are you doing?"-Mom

"I'm a robot."-Estella

Doing Art at Grandma Kathy's House

This one's for you, Grandpa Rich!

We were walking Church Street in Burlington and Mom just HAD to stop at Ken's Pizza with the gang. We were missing you, Grandpa Rich, but we took these pictures so you wouldn't miss out on the action!

And this is the lovely wading fountain with 3 still-dry kids...only minutes before Stella soaked herself head to toe and Emerson gave up his shirt to clothe her. Oh the love of big brothers!
