Fun Run

Drew, Graham and Lily walked in the Mission Trail Trot last week.

Jumping in the Haystacks

Poppy at the Finish Line

Poppy got to hold the rope at the finish line of the Highlands Fun Run. She has an interesting style, doesn't she?

Graham Runs!

Here's some dramatic footage of Graham crossing the finish line at the Highlands Fun Run. He actually came in at the front of the pack. Who knew??

Pumpkin

Mmmm...grass....

Halloween Costumes

So much for coordinating this year. Everyone is very pleased with their costumes though.

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We managed to pick a particularly cold day to visit the pumpkin patch this year. It kept the kids on their toes though!

I apologize for the delay in getting some new pictures out there. As you can see, I never tire of a good highchair photo.

Penguins are nice...

Mmmm...Crackers

Margo's First Brush with Fame

Here's a picture from the Kansas City Star's website covering the Ethnic Enrichment Festival. Margo's handling her new-found fame graciously.

Margo's New Trick

Margo is officially sitting up. Whoo hoo!

Margo Has a New Carseat

Does this look comfy or what?!?!?!

First Day of School

Graham and Lily started First Grade today. They're big kids now!

Lily and Poppy Get in Touch with their Haitian Roots

Uh, oh. Margo has a nerd laugh.

Park Pictures

Here are some recent park pictures.  Graham, Lily, and Poppy got to test out a real teeter-totter in Topeka.  Margo kept her fun local at Porter Park.

Field Day at Drew's Work

Erin and the kids attended a Field Day event at Drew's work. The event was an opportunity for kids from the Salvation Army Children's Shelter to get outside and have fun with other children. Here are some photos of the family having fun.

Nature Camp

Graham gave us a grand tour of his nature camp rooms this morning.  He learned a lot about animals, but didn't seem to enjoy picking them up or touching them.  Lily had no problem jumping in.  I didn't expect to have a child that would willingly hold a snake.

Deanna Rose

Lily, Poppy and I went to Deanna Rose with the Sederquists today.  Here are some pictures...

I think I've created a monster

Margo's really taken to eating.  Look what she's doing to this poor spoon.

Margo and Simon Talk Fashion

Simon and Margo were finally awake and happy AT THE SAME TIME. When Simon puts his hat on I think it looks like Margo is complimenting his fashion choice.

Catcher

Graham was actually a lot happier playing catcher than he looks in this picture.  

Margo's First Cereal

Margo tried real food this weekend.  She's a Billingsley/ Shawver so she should pick this up pretty quickly.  I've added video footage for some of you real fans.  

Lily's Recital

I wasn't able to figure out how to record Lily's actual recital, but the reprise was just as good.  Please enjoy "Second Hand Rose".

Sleeping Poppy

Poppy has a tendency to dress up for bed.  This is one of her better looks.

Happy Fourth of July

Here's a message from the girls on July 4...

Poppy's Talent Show

I've made numerous attempts to send this video to people and it's apparently only available to a very exclusive list.  So, let's see if this works.  If not, I may be giving up for good!!!
