We are Vain and We Love Pics of Ourselves

When Kelby first opened his office he sent out a letter to all the patients and included the pic of us below. We look stunning in black and white in the letter, but I think we look even better in color. Thanks Laree, (Kelby's secretary and a fine gal if I ever met one), for taking the family pics!
After Laree left we decided to stick around a little longer and let the boys play. I tried to capture some shots of them, but I am no Brooke Clayton. Maybe I should take a class.

Our Ian Bug debating his jump and how to accomplish it without getting wet. He succeeded.

Taylor on the same rock just playing a round. This was one popular rock.

The boys together.

Ian being silly. He climbed the rocks next to the waterfall after this pic. He loves to climb, especially rocks.

*Written Nov 1, 2009 and will appear before a post I wrote on Oct 5, 2009. Kind of confusing order, but I am posting with the Sept date because that is when it happened. I am not trying to be confusing, just succeeding.

Moving to Saint Anthony

For most of the move from Cleveland to Idaho Taylor sat in the truck with his Dad or Grandpa Western. He was bitterly dissappointed to discover that when we moved our things from storage to Saint Anthony that he would be left behind with Grandma Olson. So in response to the sudden outraged outburst, we let two little boys in turn take a ride with Dad around the neighborhood.

Ian taking his turn with Dad. If only we drove a moving truck everyday. Our Dad rocks!

Ian's first day of preschool on September 23rd! When we walked up to Mrs. Lokey's house he said, "That's my school?" in a really dissappointed incredulous way, but when I picked him up he seemed to have recovered. He related that, "I have more friends!!!" To the heck with education, this is all about friends. Maybe by college he'll have a different outlook, or maybe not.

*Please note that this was written Nov 1, 2009, but dated as Sept 23rd. This puts the post at an accurate time, but places it before the moving notice previously posted as Oct. 5th. Try not to get confused at my craziness.
