Peek into our life

I took this video because my brother has not seen the babies since Callie was just 4 months old.
It's already a few months old. As most of you know, Callie is now talking and Reese is quickly shedding the toddler look for the more sophisticated "big kid" style.

Tree Removal, Part I

We cut down the three spruce trees at the corner of our driveway. We have almost no sun anywhere in our yard, some trees had to be sacrificed so that we could have a garden.

Our life on April 25th, 2010

I know I haven't posted in forever, life really gets in the way. Here are some photos I just imported from my cell phone. With our cell phones having cameras, we hardly ever use our other camera anymore. We are trying to do better.
Kids are doing fine, being totally normal I suppose. Maddie is going pretty easy on us, but the two babies are mastering the art of the violent tantrum screaming. One would think that it wouldn't be fun to be so angry and upset so often in life. Doesn't seem to bother them much though.
Ben is preparing our new kitchen counter tops as I type. We should be getting the new front storm door in by Wednesday too. We have a bit of painting to do and the kitchen wall to tile. Our raised bed garden needs some soil brought in and we are waiting for the tree guy to come do his thing. It's been so wet that he hasn't been able to make it out, for fear of his equipment damaging the yard. Hopefully the spring rains will ease up soon.
Reese just asked me to hurry, he can't find the cookies and he's hungry for lunch. He's crazy if he thinks he will be getting cookies for lunch. They always still try though, don't they?
Alright, here are some photos:
