October - December 2008

October included a trip to visit our friends in Vermont. We got our first real snow at the end of November, so we bothered Dad so much that he went up in the attic to get our sleds out. When December rolled around, we visited Granny and Grandpa in Cincinnati for Christmas.

We'll have outgrown these costumes by next year.

Has this girl had too much Halloween candy?

Once our snowman fell over, he made a great snow horse!

First sledding of the season. Dad! I didn't go far enough!
Push me harder next time!

Uncovering dinosaur bones
(This was pretty cool. Our friends sent us little hammers, child size goggles, and cups filled with plaster of paris. After some banging with the hammer, we found little dinosaur toys inside the plaster. Then, Mom and Dad had to get out the vacuum cleaner...)

July - September 2008

Well, as we get older, Mommy and Daddy don't seem to take as many pictures. No worries, though; the photos for July through September include some good ones.

Jack thinking hard (note the tongue, we think that's an inherited trait)

If I were 15, I'd be saying "No duh, Daddy..."

April - June 2008

Well, not only is Dad late at updating our blog, it also turns out that he didn't take that many pictures for our 2nd quarter 2008 update. Maybe we were just having too much fun. We started swimming lessons this year. We also got to see Anna and Sarah on a fun camping trip to Pokagon State Park. In June we visited Cincinnati, and Grandpa Be-bap came to visit us at the end of June.

January - March 2008

We got to take another trip to Tucson in January; it's great that Grandma and Grandpa live somewhere warm for winter time. We got back home and finally had snow. This year we started a gymnastics class, so we're hopping and rolling all over the place. Then, on March 19th, we had our birthday. Now, we are three years old!

October - December 2007

In October, we got dressed up in costumes (thanks Sarah and Anna F.) and went to the "zoo-boo" at the Indianapolis Zoo. November included our Kindermusik recital, a trip to Seattle and Thanksgiving with Granny and Grandpa. We got a big snow in December, but it mostly melted before we went to Cincinnati to celebrate Christmas. With no snow, we went sliding on Christmas day instead of sledding.
