Merry Christmas!

Turkey day

So, since I have 2 days till Christmas, I'm sure that it's not too late to post Thanksgiving photos. We had a great day and Jesse (along with her support staff) put together quite the spread. The biggest hit, of course, was the can of whipped cream!

tyler

laguna gloria

Sebastian and Virginia made the drive down from Albuquerque to spend last weekend with us. We stopped by Laguna Gloria and before I knew it, we were in the midst of an impromptu photo shoot. Enjoy!

camp meeting

Here are a few shots from Camp Meeting out in Ft. Davis. Although not pictured, Og and Am thoroughly enjoyed the slower pace of life!

Painting!

Found these in the old archives. I think Jesse was trying to hide them from me. Looks like Og, Am and Nic had a great time painting. And they even managed to get a little bit of paint on the paper...

First Day of School

We shipped Og off to Tiny Tots preschool. Here are some pics from the first day...

Ruidoso

Here are some long lost shots from a trip to Ruidoso back in August...

Quick update

Wow...that was a fast (and hot) summer! Both Jess and I have seats for the kiddos on our bikes, so we've been taking lots of family bike rides lately. We'll head to neighborhood pools or to the YMCA for a quick dip to cool off in the 112degree summer days. We've also enjoyed beating the crowds to the Saturday farmer's market downtown. A couple trips back to Ft. Davis, and that about wraps up the summer for us! Tim is back in school, and presenting results from his summer research at a conference in Poland next week. Oggie starts a half-day school 2x/week on the 12th. I'm sure it'll be Christmas before we know it. In the meantime, here are a few pics from our time in Rockport that I never got around to posting...
