Happy 98th Birthday Aunt Eve

These are two very special ladies - my Grandmother and her sister (Aunt Eve). Aunt Eve turned 98 over the weekend and seemed to enjoy her weekend in Mt. Pleasant. Thanks Aunt Susan for sending me these pictures.

Sleeping Beauties

Our kids look pretty cute and funny when they are sleeping. As I passed their room tonight I saw feet hanging over Talor's bed - only to find the sight below. Layla, on the other hand, seems to be able to sleep anywhere she wants WHEN SHE IS TIRED! Well, she was tired the other day and fell asleep on the couch. Doesn't she look cute?!

General Stinkers

Well, here are a few of the latest pictures of the kids. Most are of Layla, but that is purely because Talor is at school during the day and Layla has been the model for Shell's knitting. The one at the bottom that's of Talor with a Mohawk is from a couple weeks ago. He has been asking for this style cut for a while and we finally caved. Needless to say, he was the coolest kid at school for a few days.

American Visitor

Earlier this month we had a nice evening with our friend Luanne. She was finishing her trip, which consisted of time in Australia and New Zealand, and was able to have dinner with us. She brought gifts for the kids - both from Grandma and from her. It was a very nice night and was great to catch up again.

Auckland Tornado

Hi everyone,

I just thought that I would let you know that we are fine. There was a tornado that hit Auckland's north shore (about a 25-30 minute drive from us) and they are reporting injuries and even a death. I was at school when it happened and Shell and the kids were at home - so we are all fine. I just thought that I would let you know.
