A few older pictures left over from the old house... Jacob asleep in the stroller at the zoo, Jacob hugging Pongo the dog only a couple days before we moved and Melissa sleeping on the couch just like daddy.  ;-)

Daddy's 31st Birthday celebration.  Melissa got to blow out the candles and she applauded her own efforts.   Jacob loved the cake!

Just in case you wondered how we came up with our Christmas card last year, here's a series of pictures we took of the kids trying to get the "perfect" shot.  As you can see, it was a challenge... and these were only about half of what we took.  Praise the Lord for digital cameras.

For some odd reason, the kids thought it would be a good idea to play on the swings in the middle of winter.   We have odd children...
 
Murray, our ever present watch dog, also trying to figure out why anyone would want to play on the swings in below freezing weather.

These were taken at a park out by Tom's parent's new house in Aurora.  The kids really loved running around and picking up leaves and sticks.  Sounds like fun to me!
 
Here's the kids on their first Easter Egg "Hunt".  It's not like they actually hid the eggs but the kids still had fun picking them up and putting them in their baskets.

Melissa has one of those big deep circular chairs in her room and the kids love to play in it.
 
  
Jacob in his yellow PJ's in his crib in his new bedroon.
 
Variety of Jacob pics:  Jacob looking down the stairs at Murray, Jacob doing his best impression of Murray sleeping by the front door and of course, the favorite hair style of the bath, the mohawk.
   
Variety of Melissa pics:  Melissa at a friend's house in a borrowed hat looking very sophisticated, Melissa asleep in her Strawberry Shortcake blow up bed on a trip and a picture that defies all possible descriptions.
 
Melissa in mommy and daddy's bed.  Since we have a TV in our room, she likes to crawl in our bed and watch Blues Clues which, of course, is quite cute.
