Party!

We went with slightly duck-y theme for Muriel's birthday celebration, given the attachment she has to her little duck. It was a good time, with all the birthday necessities-friends, family, balloons, cake, ice cream, and even a few gifts. More photos are up on Flickr.

Birthday Morning Photo Session

I took Muriel out early on Wednesday morning to get a few photos of our brand new two-year old. Here are a few of the photos, and I have some more up on Flickr.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Muriel!

Our little Swiss Miss turned two years old today. We had a lovely day, and will post more photos of that later. But for now, will just end with this photo I took this morning.

Fun With Uncle Mike

A few weekends ago (actually, the same weekend we went to see Thomas) Uncle Mike came to town for one last fling before he becomes a father.

It was a great weekend! The kids had fun with Thomas, picnics, stomp rockets, and playing (or pestering. It's a fine line.) with Uncle Mike. And I believe a good time was also had by the big boys, revisiting favorite college past times.

Day Out With Thomas 2010

A couple of weeks ago we headed back to the Colorado Railroad Museum with the Metcalfs for the museum's Day Out With Thomas event.

The kids all had a great time, though I think the thirty minute ride on Thomas, in which the train circled the museum four times at an agonizingly slow speed, was probably not a highlight. There was much more fun to be had sifting through gravel, playing with trains, petting ponies, sitting in fire engines, and eating ice cream.

There are a few more photos up on Flickr.
