"Want a ride, baby?"

John is such a good brother... His "motorcycle" is probably his most treasured toy. Yesterday I found him giving rides to Sam around the kitchen and living room.

Nursing Home Visit

This afternoon, my family and some friends of ours went to the local nursing home here in town for our monthly visit. We played some music, sang and then visited with the people there.

Carrie's Photos...

We have a had a great week of school and are now enjoying the weekend. Carrie has been taking TONS of pictures with the new Canon DSLR camera she recieved for Christmas. The pictures above are just a few of the 831 pictures she's taken in the last few weeks!! While Carrie has been taking pictures, the rest of us have been busy with school and music. We have all started up piano lessons again and Joanna began guitar and has been teaching herself through DVDs and books. Paul and Dad have been busy working on building a model airplane and for the last couple of days we have been hearing stray comments such as "Don't step on ___" and "Someone get the baby away from the pieces" and "Oh no, I just glued my fingers together". They are doing a nice job, though! We have all been well and are doing great!
