Meline's New Favorite Toys

Meline has finally started to take an interest in the cats. If they enter a room she's in, all things come to a halt and she begins the chase. They are surprisingly tolerant of her and she's even managed to get a couple of pets in (along with some handfuls of cat hair).

My Morning Alarm Clock

This is how I am greeted every morning! Meline obviously does not take after her mother...I need a couple of cups of coffee in the morning to get this jived up.

So happy to be rescued!


What a cutie :-)

I think she's wondering when I'm going to put the camera down and actually pick her up!

8 1/2 months - Meline's New Trick!

This took me by surprise! Michael was playing with Meline and I look over and she's clapping away. A couple of days later, I picked her up from daycare and her teacher had taught her how to blow kisses (she sucks in her cheeks). Such a fun age!

Rocket Launch

After a couple of cancellations due to weather, it finally was time for our first big outing with the boy scouts! Nathan made a rocket at his last meeting and this past Sunday was launch day. Here is Nathan getting his rocket ready for launch.

Looking good!

One last check before the launch....

Off it goes!

All the boys went running after the rocket as it fell back down. Here's Nathan with his rocket. It survived the ride. Nathan had such a blast (pun intended!)

Nathan the Hockey Player

We started Nathan back up with hockey this fall. Here he is all dressed up in his gear giving us an action shot. Here's the mean face shot...

Here's Nathan in action. He's number 91. Its soooo much fun to watch him play!

Nathan and Meline on Halloween

I wanted Nathan and Meline to match for Halloween this year. Should have been an easy feat except Nathan decided to be Indiana Jones. Was trying to think what went with Indy, a golden head, rolling boulder, and then my mom reminded me of Indy's phobia...snakes! Seemed like the easiest option, so here we are. Nathan and Meline as Indy and a snake...

Here's Meline with a couple of pairs of green tights wrapped around her...

Not sure if she is sold on the idea.....

Looks like Indy has conquered his phobia!

Indiana Jones

Nathan had no trouble deciding what he wanted to be for Halloween this year.... Indiana Jones! Here he is in action.... Crack that whip!

Here's Nathan, I mean Indy, just before he ventures out onto Scarborough Lane, in search of candy treats!

Candy Pirate

Nathan hit the motherload this Halloween. Here he is showing off his bountiful treasure!

Not long before the candy pirate notices the loot.... she begins to circle...

And goes in for a sneak attack!

Here, the cycle repeats.... except this time on video...

Pumpkin Carving

Can't have Halloween without a pumpkin carving....

ewwwwwww..............

Naptime

Dinner Caveman Style

Michael and I had a night on the town at a fantastic steak restaurant. Here we are before dinner.

Here's the before of our Porterhouse....

Here's the after....

Its no small feat to finish it in one sitting!!

The Milk Goatee

A new twist on the classic milk mustache...
