Crossley twins (and Kate!)

July - September 2006

The summer went by too fast. We took a long trip to visit relatives in Nebraska and South Dakota. Our grandparents from Cincinnati came to see us, and we went to see them. Jack finally got his hair cut, but Dad is still bugging him about getting a job.

Was I not supposed to use the hair gel?

In case of aliens ...

WINDY!

Don't ask (it would take us too long to explain...)

These sunglasses don't work like my regular glasses.

Quick, hide!

April - June 2006

Spring was a good time for us. We got to play outside more, and we both got pretty good at walking. In May, we took our first vacation. We went camping at Lake Erie with our friend Kevin and his parents.

January - March 2006

Well, the winter wasn't too bad. Jack got his new glasses in February, and we both started crawling around the house. Our first birthday was in March. Good thing we grew in some teeth, so we could eat some cake! We're getting close to walking, but we are not quite there yet.

No feet on the table, Dad

I think the leak is right here

Are you sure you can steer this thing?

September - December 2005

For most of the Fall, we stayed close to home. We learned to eat solid foods. Mom and Dad finally finished the deck out back, so we got a few chances to sit outside before it got cold. Once it got cold, we got the winter clothes out. We took a plane trip to Tucson and rode in the van to Cincinnati for Christmas.
