What's Up

There's always so much going on, and as the world's slackest blogger, I do my utmost to be totally behind in recording all those happenings. As usual, here's a quick photo update.

One night last week I came home from class to find this sight in my room:



Chris had put Joseph to bed a couple of hours earlier and assumed he had remained there. But he was in our bed, and when Chris went in to return him to his own bed, he discovered that the boy had removed his clothes and diaper and had indeed wet my side of the bed. Ah, the joys of motherhood.

Here's something I see quite often:

We attended Nathaniel's last Cub Scout Olympics, where he did extremely well in competition. Here's the standing long jump, in which he placed 1st.

Lindsey and Joseph marching around the park.

Receiving a "big hand" for coming in 1st in an event.

Accepting the award for Best Overall in the Webelos group. Way to go, son! You rock!

Biking home after a fun morning.

All ready for church . . .



Apparently he thought he needed one more accessory.

Lindsey demonstrating some ballet moves, with Joseph's help.

With his fellow scouts at pack meeting.

Dog pile on dad!!!!

Bradley finally getting the hang of this two-wheeler thing!

This made me laugh -- check out Nathaniel in the background.

Sister Cox came to visit Mel, and we got to spend some time with her.

Mel will hate this picture, but I thought it was so cute of them. And look how skinny Mel is!

Getting a bath in the sink is no fun.

Busy life as always, but we're having fun!
