Downtown

It's a little known fact that pretending to smoking tree bark helps reduce the risk of cancer, but only in California. We weren't in California, but we did it anyway, in honor of Audrey Hepburn, who would have been proud,

This, my friends, is a brick wall.

And *this* is a brick wall *model*. They are hard to come by these days.

This is our model, conquering a cast iron fence on campus. This is, no doubt, what Napoleon Bonaparte was hoping to achieve, but the painter worked too fast, and he didn't have time to take his hand out of his coat.

We were assured by a passer by that we looked good. Okay, Rachel was assured that she looked good. I just thought that I would take some credit anyway, for being the photographer.

I was on top of a wall for this shot, but fortunately this was on campus. No one cared.

The secret of success in photography is having cute models :)

At Shy's house -- with WOOGS!

Energetic walkers.

This tea shop should open on Mondays for me, so that I could try it out. I might even leave a tip!

We found a workout machine in the barn, but it was set up for someone with more muscles than Woogs or I now possess.

Teds faces off with the machine...

This man wasn't sure why we were there, but was willing to be open minded about the whole thing.

Mr. Independent in his sandbox <3

Look! I  found a blonde!

She seems pleasant.

And likes children. Seemed like a handy person to have around, so I brought her back with me.

Lots of fishing going on.

For those mothers viewing this picture, yes, I am standing just out of view, making sure they don't fall in, and they are further from the edge than they look...

Cute brothers :)

James' BD -- The 14th of February

James had a BD celebration on Valentines Day, and there were many cousins there. This is Adam's milk cow, for those who have not met her. 

I love how everyone is doing something different in this picture :)

Princess Farm Girl <3

The Spectators

James showing Nat his geography Birthday Hat of wonder.

Big Fat getting the last of the ice-cream. This man has industry in his bones.

Clapping after happy birthday is sung.  Kenny apparently didn't appreciate the singing, as it interrupted his bible study. I am really not sure if that is mother points or not, Siobhan, but that *is* a picture bible in his hands.

BIRTHDAY BOY!

I think this is the sword that Nat gave James. It lights up, and Nat bought it with his own earnings. Now that IS mother points.

Tuck the Duck!

James new bicycle.

How many little people can fit on a 4 wheeler?

Glee at the thought of running over their Aunt Lizzy.

A second pass! Very happy kids!

Love Emmoo's face in this one

This was a good day for many little guys. Thanks, James!
