Nye Family Christmas Celebration

Thanksiving pic

Here's W. eating popcorn. He's sitting just like Todd does.










Taking a walk in the woods at Jeffrey Mansion Park.


















My 1st Thanksgiving was a success. The only thing missing was cranberry sauce. Here's a family picture.

We made flubber tonight!

I cannot believe I've never tried making the stuff before. It was so easy and W. played with it for almost an hour!

October Birthdays!!!

Grandpa made snow cones. Can you guess what color W. chose for his?

A pic from the zoo.














Grandma made W.'s birthday cake. He couldn't decide what kind of cake he wanted so she included all the options; Legos, Curious George, Gordon and dinosaurs.

We celebrated Todd and Meghan's birthdays a few weeks ago.

Staticky hair.

Drawing maps

Melani got this super cool paper from Brent's work. He was drawing maps on it tonight.

Sunflowers and some garden bounty!

The Creation Museum

Playing in the rocks at the museum.

We got busted by a security guard on the museum grounds because we were in an area that was under construction.

Running!

W. and his little cousin playing.

Looking thru Noah's Ark netting!

This one moved up and down. He was really worried that this dino was real.

Back to work this week!

I went back to work on Monday and the kiddos started today. It went well for me. I am not used to not having air conditioning so I am a little hot and enjoying the cool temperature at home. Here are some recent pictures.

Super cheesy smiles!
Miss M. and W. at the zoo. Can I tell you how adorable the baby elephant, Beco, is?

Our trip to Chicago

Well all of us ended up with a terrible cold thanks to W's coughing on us the entire ride to Chicago/ We ended up leaving early on Sunday (we were going to stay until Sunday evening). We didn't get to Lollapalooza as much as we wanted either because when we got to Chicago on Friday it was wet and drizzling. Saturday we got to see Millennium Park with Todd C. and Dave G. Here are a few photos.

Favorite Books

Here's a current list of W's favorite books.

When Sophie Gets Angry-Really, Really Angry... by Molly Bang
DinoTrux by Chris Gall
The Day Leo Said I HATE YOU by Robie H. Harris
Machines Go To Work by William Low

and here's a list of a few of MY favorite books to read to W.

Whose Garden Is It? by Mary Ann Hoberman
The Water Hole by Graeme Base (he's an amazing illustrator!!)

We are off to meet Grampy for dinner in Delaware this afternoon. We have been meeting him weekly for dinner after his radiation treatments.

Some pictures of our adventures.

At Highbanks Metro Park for Monday Moms Playgroup
Some fantastic art by W!
He loves his black raspberry sauce in yogurt and on pancake and it looks great on his face!!
His most prized possession at Cosi: the drill.
Sitting on the tractor at Cosi.

The ZOO!!

I love shots from the back and this one where they are holding hands is just precious. They were walking toward the carousel for a ride after playing in the playground at the zoo.




D and W "rididng" the warthog.

My boys (minus Ian) relaxing at lions.

This is W. in his Applacian Uprising shirt from Melani. He LOVES the musical birthday cards I got for my birthday. He can play with them endlessly.

I just like this picture:-)

Here's my front garden as or July 1. My house has much more curb appeal now. Thanks Sarah for the donation of lilies and hostas.

This is one of the beautiful lilies that bloomed the other day. When I went back outside the very next day the blossom was GONE! I am so excited that I got a great picture of it.

I have a lot more Summer 2009 pictures

Phish Reunion Tour, Pittsburgh, PA, June 18, 2009. Trey is chatting with Paige.


This one is from today. If you look closely you can see egg in his mouth:-)

If this picture of Devin, James and Todd had been taken 10 years ago they ALL would have had long hair. I guess you gotta grow up sometime;-)
