Lauren's First Day of School!

Lauren is now officially a kindergartner at Indianola Informal K-8 School! She was very excited, and very tired when she got home. Dead asleep by 8:10pm ;)

Trevor Potter?

anniversary party

in realtime, this is how much = love my wife. Drunkeness over nothingness, thank you honey. You're my favorite, you're my person.

Pictures I took of Ewan (one of you, one of me)

OPT

A whole room full of Other People's Toys! Lauren and Trevor had a great time playing in the third floor romper room at Anna and Noah's new house. Trevor was totally fascinated by the baby.... Ewan is one smiley little dude, and Nina handled the invasion pretty well... it's hard to share sometimes, you know?

Franklin County Fair

Franklin County Fair fun... the ride operators let Trevor on one of those car / motorcycle rides... where he got to drive. And boy did he drive. At one point his tongue was hanging out. Pauline joined us, and rode the ferris wheel with Lauren. It was Lauren's first ferris wheel ride, followed shortly thereafter by her second. Saw an elephant show, then ate an elephant ear--only at the fair, right?

Three random pictures from last week

Trevor and Mama: pooltime

Happy Birthday Matt and Dan!

First off-HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT AND DAN!

And in other news... This week Lauren is attending a nature camp program at Highbanks. No pictures of that yet, but here she is from a program on Butterflies at Sharon Woods the other night. The kids were far more entertained by running about a big open field whirling their butterfly nets than in actually looking for butterflies. Good fun though.

Human/Alien Interaction

Lauren and Trevor and I went to the movie theater because they have free kids movies on Tuesday mornings. We lasted about 20 minutes before the kids got restless. We ended up in the hallway, and the result is this cellphone video showing a human meeting some aliens for the first time, and vice-versa.

The Great Disappearing Pagalini

It's... magic! Watch the Great Pagalini attempt the impossible before your very eyes!

Keep Out

The first of what will probably be many such signs posted on Lauren's door. This one was directed specifically at boys under the age of 2 whose names start with "T".

Dude LOVES trains

My sister gave us this train set a few years ago, and Lauren never really got into it. But, it resurfaced a few days ago and is an instant hit with Trevor. Last night we had to put the train set away, it was set up on his bedroom floor in a big figure 8, and he couldn't get to sleep... kept standing up and pointing to the set, saying 'train, train'. 'Train' was also the first word out of his mouth when I went into his room this morning.

Happy Comfest!

Trevor's UN-Birthday Party

Because trevor was sick on his birthday (which is entirely too close to Christmas), we decided to have an UN-Birthday Party for him last weekend. Good times. You'll notice a recurring theme during the summer of Trevor+water=happy.

Lauren Rocks

Lauren and I were rocking out on Guitar hero the other day, and Beth ran for the camera. I cropped some pretty rock and roll poses from the girl.

Daddy and Trevor and Nana at the Pool

Pics from a hot summer night

Patrick worked last night, after a two month dry spell at the hotel where he bartends... so we played outside until it was just too darn hot. It was still in the upper 80's after dinner.

She scoots!

He drives!

Good times.
