vampire baby

anyone else think this is weird? should i be concerned that jackson recently bit my neck? i'm starting to feel woozy....

family weekend at laity lodge

we had a great time at my old stompin' grounds this weekend. several families from grace baptist church went to family camp in the hill country. it is really one of the most beautiful places i've seen. we hiked to circle bluff, swam, fished, square danced, climbed the alpine tower (all except jackson) did crafts and ate some wonderful food.

this is the view from circle bluff.

reese wore this hat almost all weekend

fishing with friends

colin wasn't coming home until late tonight so my girlfriend lori and i took our kiddos to french lake to do some fishing. only a few fish were caught, but that is mostly because half of our party was chasing the ducks, riding scooters and playing with the fish in the bucket.

here is a pic of the gang

the night did not end without a little drama from the errington family. reese fell in as she was releasing the fish we caught.

visitors

we have had company for about a week and a half, so there has not been much time to blog or take pictures. oma came in for about a week due to hurricane ike and i only took one photo. paw paw also came in for a visit just for fun. with the grandparents in, i finally had time to get a hair cut, have a pedicure and a golf date with colin. we were all sad to see oma and paw paw head home. before paw paw left, we got a picture or two in the front yard.
