Apple picking

What better way to usher in fall than a hayride and some apple picking?

Not every family moment is rainbows and unicorns.  These pics are classics -- smile, kids!

Talented Miss T

Two of Talia's favorite pastimes -- taking her scooter for a spin and telling stories.

Watch out, James Taylor

You may have some competition at Tanglewood next year!

Off to High Holiday services

Thanks for the new clothes, Mimi and Poppa!

At School

An action shot of Aaron and Talia outside of Franklin on their first day of school. Aaron was very encouraging and Talia was very brave. 

First day

Talia is joining her brother at his preschool for the first time
today. Who are these big kids?!

Fun (and crazy) times Up North

We made our annual summer trip up north in August, spending two weeks enjoying all that northern Michigan has to offer.  With six kids that are four or under (including two under six months), there was never a dull moment.  Between days at the beach, swimming in the lake, waterskiing, eating our weight in ice cream and cherries, climbing sand dunes, and roasting marshmallows, we managed to fit in lots of quality time with Grandma and Grandpa, uncles, aunts and cousins.
