Family pictures Nov 2015

Our friend, Alicia, took these family pictures for us

Sailor, the kids' dog.....this picture is so creepy!

Picking back up....

We moved from Kirkland to Bend, OR, and this blog got left behind for more than 3 years. The kids LOVE looking through these pictures, so I'm making an attempt at catching up.....at least somewhat!

We hiked around Todd Lake and had fun catching frogs on the far side of the lake. Hannah is our animal lover, and frogs proved to be adored by her, too!

This was Sept. 2015, so Clara is 10, Hannah 8, Lizzy 6, Isaiah 4

Family Camp Summer 2015

Happy Birthday to our incredible girl! You continue to amaze us with your mind that is always thinking, planning, and figuring out and your constant busy, hard-working, always-doing-a-project self! You love to be involved in anything that is challenging or new. You take on projects and work so diligently until you are finished. You have taken off with your reading, writing, math and drawing this winter and have a love of learning new things! You are a constant help in the kitchen and insisted on your own cleaning gloves and were so excited to clean 3 bathrooms at Nana's house! You love your special time with Mommy or Daddy, and love to snuggle. You are a wiggle worm, though, and can hardly sit still! You hate to be told "no", usually because you have it all figured out exactly how it is going to go and don't like the disappointment of it not going your way ;) You teach your brother lots of things and compete with him like crazy. You adore your older sisters and do a pretty good job of keeping up with all they can do. We love your fierce drive and sweet, sensitive spirit that you show at times. You keep us on our toes and amaze us with your insight and abilities. We love you Lizzy Jo!!
