Family moments

They say these are the moments you remember when you get older. I took this photo about a month ago, and i didn't remember taking it until i was perusing my photo gallery.

We did some shopping at the Atlantic City Outlet Mall, and it was fun to walk around with the kids, my sister and brother-in-law, and my parents.

Oddly enough Aidan seemed to gravitate towards my mother. That does not bode well for me in the future.

Here are a couple of my favorite pics.

Can you swim in sand

The sandbox at our local park has become one of the kids favorite places to go.  At some point they always seem to end up rolling around in the sand, basically bathing in dirt.

Kira is looking very grown up these days.  I was looking at pictures of them when they were born and noticed that their faces have changed quite a lot over the past couple years, and I expect that will be a continuing trend.

School bound?

We've been considering the possibility of a preschool for the kids.  Aunt Sunny and uncle Jake gave them backpacks as a birthday gift and they are starting to enjoy wearing them.

Where do I fit in you ask?

The kids like to wake up at about 6:30 in morning.  At which point they like to crawl into our bed.  Since we are in the trailer now, we are allowing them this opportunity.  So, you might be wondering where I would fit in this configuration, and that would be in the sliver of space to the right.  You don't see Mandy in this picture because she likes to sleep at the foot of the bed. Clearly she is smarter than I am since there's more room down there.

And sunroom makes three...

So after a few days I managed to get the add-a-room installed.  It wasn't to hard actually.  And the results are a lovely sunroom.
Here are a couple pictures of the trailer as I was putting it up and complete.

It's an apple.

This is a video test.
Kira playing with her chalk.  I like to guess what she draws and to be honest I'm never right.
If you can't hear, I ask her what she drew, and she says "apple".


Edit:
Ok, i don't like the quality of the blogger video upload.

Here is the youtube version:

Email testing with a photo

So here is a quick picture of the screen room that is in the process of putting together.

I took this with my Evo and am now trying to type on this thing.  Its harder than I expected
