Grant Steals Home!!

Grant up to bat against the Giants...
Stealing from first to second...
They try to throw him out, he's safe and they overthrow...
He pops right up to steal third...
(he says I was lucky I caught him mid-stride in this picture because otherwise his legs would be moving too fast for the camera to see)

Coach send him around third,
and...
Grant steals home for the go-ahead run!

Yay Grant!

My Post Got Lost! Okay, really misplaced...

Okay family and friends...
I uploaded a whole bunch of pictures spending a fair amount of the morning frustrated with a slow connection only to find that I was posting under our homeschool post so I still want you all to see the pictures but you have to click on "Patriot Kids Homeschoolers" link to see them. Sorry!

Mom's first action sequence...

Elise is just starting to stand up against furniture and I was taking pictures when I got this amazing footage! It's my first action sequence with the new camera! (;

Disclaimer: No babies were hurt during the shooting of this sequence.

Bike Ride and Car Wash

These are a continuation of the last post. The kids and I went for a bike ride and then Carter and Lauryn washed their vehicles while Jeff and Grant played catch. These are really out of order somehow but I don't have the time to repost them :)

Playing in the Backyard

One example of why Carter doesn't take me seriously...He covered himself in sand and after reprimanding him for getting so dirty I told him to hold still so I could take a picture because he looked so funny. :)

I've joined the modern world!

I took these the first night that I got my digital camera. I got right home, charged my battery and started shooting. Carter especially loves that he can see his pictures right away.

Yeah! I finally went digital. I am so in love with my new camera. It is so much more fun than film. I have a ton of pictures to post so I think I'll start slow so I don't overload you all here :)

It's so great. I thought I was addicted to pictures but now I'm worse than ever....

Five Month Old Elise

I admit, I've been slacking! These pictures are from way back in June at Carter's Birthday Party but I wanted to put them up anyway. What a funny baby! She's such a sweet little mellow thing. Just rolls with the punches and goes along for the ride. Lauryn insisted that all the girls wear a flower in their hair and I completely forgot about mine and wore it all through dinner at the restaurant! :)
