Our Kids...

Taken in April, at our home in Hinckley

Taken at the end of May in our yard in Hinckley. Hannah & Charles often get mistaken for twins.

Charles and Smokey. Smokey is a very calm, nice kitty. He stayed at the farm in Hinckley, although I was tempted to take him with me when we moved.

Playing at my (Crystal's) Uncle Russ & Aunt Mary's home (we were blessed to stay with them for the month of July while we lined up housing).

State Fair

We brought the kids to the State Fair to celebrate Charles' birthday. When you walk around with three kids so close in age you often generate sympathy. On the way in, someone handed us some ride tickets, saying they were done. Hannah and Steven each went on a ride of their choosing.

Here's Hannah on the Cars.

Below is Steven. He Absolutely LOVES trains, so naturally he chose the train ride. He also likes to smile ferociously for cameras (when he's in the mood). Put those two things together, and these pics just crack me up!

So thrilled to be riding "Thomas" (most trains are called Thomas, unless of course they're Percy or Henry or James...)

"Smile!"

:)

Here's a clip of Steven on the train ride. See if you can pick him out. That boy makes me laugh!
