Better late than never, right?!

Well, we finally got around to having some professional portraits done. (Actually, we got sucked in by "winning" a free 10" x 13" picture and, of course, ended up not being able to walk out with just that one photo.)

For the last year, or so, Kim has gone to great lengths not to smile in any photos not taken by Steve or me.




Van looking seriously impressed by being up on a stand under bright lights.

Two funny faces!

These are a couple of pictures that Kim drew for Grandma and Grandpa a week or so ago that we haven't gotten around to mailing yet.




This is the ginger bread house that Kim and I made on New Year's eve day. I don't think housing construction is my forte. Right after this picture was taken, I went to pick up the tray to move the house of the reach of little boy hands and doggie jaws and the whole thing collapsed like a double-wide in a tornado! I thought Kim would be upset, but practical child that she is, she realized that this meant that she could probably eat a piece right away.

We forgot to take pictures of the kids on Halloween so we finally got them dressed up and snapped a few a couple of weeks ago.

Kim looking feline.


Van's costume was the one that Kim wore on her first Halloween and Kim borrowed her costume from the daycare so that they could be tigers together!


Backstage, after the performance!
