Victim

This poor thing is often the victim of her little brother's aggression.  Yes, she does aggravate him at times but often he just hauls off and hits her for no reason.  The other day his tooth went through her lip as he was head banging her.  She looks even worse b/c big sister put some pink eye shadow all around her.  Looks like she has 2 black eyes too!!

Peek-a-boo!

Ener-G!!

This girl has so much energy.  These pictures were: "Mom, take a picture of me doing THIS!!"

And this one is simply my favorite.

Greta's 5

Last night I finally had a few moments to take my precious G's birthday pictures.  She is so fun to take pictures of.  She's a little "poser", I hardly instructed her in most of these pictures.  Greta is at such a happy, lively stage in life.  She loves to draw, do crafts, make cards, and is learning how to read!  She adores her baby brother and loves her grandma.  She has boundless energy!!

My favorite.  I think this one is going in a frame on the wall.

On top of the World

This past Saturday, I looked out the window and there was a firetruck in front of our house.  I went and spoke with my neighbor who is the fire chief and was directing traffic.  Apparently all of the local companies were using the creek down the road from us to run water and test their hoses and such.  For the rest of the morning the fire trucks just kept coming and coming.

Little Josiah was in his absolute glory.  He's still talking about all the "wee-ooh wee-oohs" that were here.

Happy G

Apparently she loves taking pics of herself on the computer.

The Destroyer

So last week my sweet and thoughtful husband sent me some flowers on the anniversary of our engagement.  Every time I looked at them they made me smile.

Someone had other plans for my pretty flowers:
