Birthday Boys: Tucker, 6, and Michael, 8

So much to celebrate.

Tucker and his Cousin Iona

Overcoming Sorrow

and disappointment, and dismay, and spite, and anger. (and a few quiet tears)

Tucker, Portrait-taker

The rare photo of us in the same shot. Cozy evening on a wintry night.

Here's Annie!

She's 10 years old. She reminds us of Cassidy. She has Grandma Annie's name. She looks like Tucker. And she makes Michael giggle. What's not to love?

Catching Up - summertime 2011

OK. So we're those people who are terrible at taking photos, or even bringing the camera with us in the first place. But we have a few photos from our summer. Actually, we just have a few photos from the boys' birthday weekend in June.

Asher visits.

Tucker turns 5 with Lightning McQueen and Curious George.

Michael pays close attention to a spellbinding O's game.

Only Tuck can take his eyes off the game.

And Tucker is often happy to take a break from the action

if it means posing with a giant bobble head.

Yay!

First Day of Kindergarten

Already so studious.

This is as handsome as we get. Tucker and his good friend Josie pose in the school hall before class starts.
