Chasing the Kids Around

Thought you may like to see me acting silly with the kids. They love to be chased and usually slow down to be caught and tickled. I love the way they laugh and giggle as they run.

First attempt to eat without restraints

Yes the headline reads horribly, but have you ever tried to get three ~19month olds to sit still? Normally we use booster seats with leg straps to keep some level of control. Ann did a remarkable job sitting in the middle.

MIZ-ZOU !!!!

We took advantage of Grandma Ginny and Uncle Chris being in town for the holidays and went to see Missouri beat Northwestern at the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio. Thanks Grandma Ginny & Uncle Chris. Go Tigers!

We promise to post some pictures of the kids again soon! :)
