SNOW!
We went on a great adventure to West Virginia, in
February 2006. Here are just a couple of the
pictures. We'll load more soon!
Take me home country roads.
Wow! Snow is awesome!
It's an open-faced Papa sandwich!
Fun in the Sun
We had the chance to escape for a few days to Miami and the
Florida Keys in June. It was our first trip to both
places, and our first trip by train! We took over 200
photos; here are some of our favorites. They're shown as
thumbnails here to facilitate loading; click on them to see them
larger.

The three (awake) girls at the southernmost

Sunset in Marathon Key. We saw this and
just had to pull over to the side of the road and take a picture
of it.

Same Baby, Different Day
I was busy this week painting a couple of rooms
in the house. Rachel was busy, too. This is what
happened in a 15-minute span of time: she took Princess'
food dish and scattered it all over the theatre, she poured
chocolate syrup on herself, she got hit in the head with a brush
full of paint (when Mama saw the chocolate syrup all over her),
she dumped an entire box of cake flour out (which stuck to the
aforementioned chocolate syrup), emptied a jar of popcorn and a
packet of black cherry Kool-Aid, smashed up two Pop-Tarts, and
then fed them to the dog.
An unbelievable chain of events? You'd think
so, until you looked back at the photo below taken just over a year
ago.
"Honest! I just found it like this!"
seems to be what Rachel is saying in this March
2004 photo. Looking at this picture, it's no wonder we
often call her "baby-zilla." She decided she was
hungry and then proceeded to tear apart the pantry until she came
upon just what she wanted -- graham sticks.
Laura asked Gabe to hold Rachel a minute. This
is what happened. This is what usually happens. (March
2004)
This is a picture of the girls and Alice at the Florida
Aquarium in June 2002. It was
an impromptu trip with Gabe's best friend from high school, his
wife, and their beautiful new daughter. Joe and Bebe live
in New Jersey, but were in Tampa for a conference. We got
a chance to spend a day with them (and the fish).
Here are our three princesses -- playing in mud
puddles in March 2002. I
don't know if the stains ever came out. Ah! To be a
child!
It was the last day of the Walt Disney World
Cast Celebration, in November 2001.
Laura had puttered around the house all day when Gabe called and
said, "Let's go do this!" We were out of the
house in 15 minutes and our way to the Disney-MGM Studios.
Despite its impromptu nature, we had a marvelous time -- seeing
the lights at the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights, catching
snowflakes on New York Avenue, and eating dinner at the Sci-Fi
Theatre. We went back twice more during the Christmas
season and did it all over again. It was so much fun we're
going to catch it every year!
