All the kids in the pool!

Mom's group end of summer party.

A better picture without the SEE-FOOD.

More proof that my daughter wasn't feeling good. . . watching college football with Dad.

Passed out in front of the TV. VK was not feeling well, and although I was sad for her, she can sometimes be very sweet when she isn't feeling good. In this case . . . random napping.

Videos

I did a search of the photo folder on my machine for videos and found all of these, some of them taken intentionally and some of then accidentally. They provide a great snapshot of VK through the last 2.5 years.

Massive Summer Update

So it has been nearly 3 months since my last update to the blog, and I think it's mostly because summer isn't blogging season. There seems to be a lot going on and it is difficult to sit and futz with pictures and blogging.

So here I sit on the first real weekend downtime that we have had in a while posting a load of pictures from our summer. It makes me think that kids today must have rich media presentations for the traditional "what I did this summer" homework.

Anyway . . . here it comes.
