summertime

Kate does not use a pacifier...obviously! :)

Finally a picture of me with Mason for his 11th birthday on June 12th (I'm not a month late yet!)

Why, yes, she is indeed a pretty, pretty princess!!!

First visit to Lake Erie, on the boardwalk in Conneaut.

Kate was not afraid of the lake at all, she loved the water.

Jack, Mitchell and Regan, bathing beauties. Mason saw a dead fish as soon as we got to the beach and that nixed swimming for him.

Pretty much the only person allowed to hold Kate and give her a bottle anymore...and this is the permissible position. When Ron and I give her a bottle she throws it on the floor and points to the crib. so much for cuddles!!! She knows what she wants and HOW she wants it!!
