Snapshots

I have been wanting to do a real update on each of the kids these days and just haven't had the time- but looking back through some of the pictures that I took last week, I found a few that capture enough about their (very different) personalities and I figured that it was better than nothing...

Oliver:

We have been going to the Rec Pool almost every afternoon and each time we go, 

Oliver attempts to do a back flip off the diving board.  

And he has yet to make it.  

But, he has yet to give up.

He just sticks with it and never stops trying.

EVER.

Elliott:
On this morning we were going to meet up with our friends to play
and Elliott packed up a few things that he thought they might need.

We were a little ahead of schedule (yes, it does happen every once in a while :)) 

so I asked him to show me what he brought while we waited and here is what he had:

Four Water Bottles

Silly putty

An Old Digital Camera

A Compass

Two Medals from an old Race

Snacks

Two Squishy/Light Up Balls

A Dagger

Two Baby Dolls and 1 Squeaky Bear

A Notebook

Two Old Cell Phone Carriers filled with Nerf Gun Darts

A Wooden Box

A Froggie Snugglie Toy

A Giants Hat

and A Wallet Stuffed with "Moneys" and Baby Dragon Figurines

You know...just the essentials :)

And then there is this girl:

She kept making faces so I just kept on taking pictures :)  

 I am not even sure how to describe her...

...except to say that she is the Opposite of Dull :)

Hopefully I will get to elaborate more at some point, but I think that that pretty much covers the basics for now.
