Apple Picking and Wallet Gouging

...but still really, really fun.











Braves Vs Nationals

Watched our last game of the season.





Just Max

Spending some quality time with Max at the park. It was mostly about baseball.

Here he annouces he is a catcher after turning his hat backwards.



State Fair 2009






Most Patient Cat On Earth

Despite the constant invasion of personal space Sophie really likes being with Melina.

Airport Code: MEL

Melina decides to make an airport in the playroom including a green runway, blue sky and tiny airplane.

First Soccer Practice


Max came out with his own ball. Can you imagine the melt-down otherwise? EVERYONE with their own ball but him. He played with Tim the entire time.



Is there anything cuter than little kids learning to do jumping jacks?


Here they are running some drills. Yes, that IS Mel following orders and working well in a group.


Pretty pooped (or bored). I think she learned this move from our cats. When suddenly overcome with fatigue (or boredom) lie down right where you are.

Family Photo

Braves Vs Reds


At The Varsity waiting for our food. Check out the ears.




Max eats cotton candy for the first time. Not impressed.


Kids realizing what their mother already knew -- baseball can be boring.

Mini Beefcake

Luna Moth Caterpillar

This juicy fellow probably got knocked out of a tree after a recent storm. He is the size of Mel's hands! What I didn't photograph was the copious amounts of sludge it spit at us in self-defense. It did not stop us from picking him up but did leave an unfavorable impression of the fellow. We let him go that evening.

Max's Birthday Party




Which is Meg's head?






I'm just glad someone stopped him from eating the candle.

Soccer


Melina starts soccer on Tuesday. I hope her enthusiasm lasts until then. Here she is in her PJs trying out her gear.
