These pictures are quite random as Jessiqa has a bad habit of not uploading her pictures to the computer in time for press release.  The first two pictures are symbolic of this past week as we've been so busy that all Jessiqa and I want to do is lay down.

 It might be hard to see in these pictures without enlarging them but Ben and Abby have strung the tape measure out across the yard.  Abby then becomes bored and begins walking around with a basket on her head.

Mom hugs during playtime on the bed.

 Benjamin has graduated from two feet on the recliner to one.

 Cupcakes from Grandma Garver.  Ben and Abby approve!

 This basket is intended for holding the children's play food that is outside in their play kitchen.  They decided that it is better utilized as a rock transporter.

 Autumn has led to the discovery of previously unattainable things.  First it was leaves, now they've discovered pine needles.

While we wait for runners at a cross country meet Ben insists on me putting him in this tree.  He's hanging on by himself in the first picture.

After much struggling with Dad's shoes Ben is a happy camper.

At times we think our children are absolutely losing their minds, or that we're rubbing off on them.  Even though she's crazy like us, she's learning her alphabet fairly well as the following video will demonstrate.  (You may have to turn up the volume as the audio is fairly quiet.)
