Group shot minus Nolan.

I think it's a bit too sunny for relaxing in the hammock.

My FIRST video upload!!! After 3 years, I'm finally figuring it out.

She's Finally Made the Blog!

Two things wrong with this shot: Avery's sign isn't spelled out completely, and Chance is upset with the sign he got to hold.

So we fixed the first sign and Chance is now happy, but Avery's sign is upside down.

Now we got it!

And introducing (after almost 5 months) Elisabeth Ann Skiles!!! Doesn't her mommy look fabulous after just giving birth?!!!

Oh, Evan!

The boys and girls practicing their letters.

Nolan practicing drinking from his sippy cup.

Go Away Sick Bugs!

Wednesday, January 5

Nolan and I are all alone today because the sick bug that attacked Brandon on Sunday, moved it's way to Cailyn and Evan ): We are hoping they are all better by tomorrow. On top of that, Avery had to get stitches in her chin yesterday. She fell on a stone coming up to the deck and got a big gash in her chin. She was so darn brave and tough though! Now I am hoping and praying for the rest of the Critters and Critter moms and dads to stay well!!!

Happy Birthday Brandon!

Avery anxious for cake.

Evan has been a music man as long as I can remember. He loves to dance and control the music. He has awesome rhythm for a little tyke!

Enjoying each other's company...and some food!

Fireworks to celebrate the Browns loss I suppose.

Nolan and Daddy enjoying the fireworks.

Some backyard football action before leaving for Cleveland.

A little wet from the rain.

The sequence of pictures is a bit out of order, but this was Nolan's first Browns game. It was a preseason game in August; the coldest day in August unfortunately. Nolan was joined by his Mimi and Poppi and some uncles and cousins. If I remember correctly, the Browns lost, but we enjoyed fireworks after anyhow!
