View From Little Round Top
Why do we teach our children to say "cheese" when we take their picture? It doesn't make them look like they are smiling. It makes them look like they are saying "cheese"...often with less than flattering results. I must remedy this at once!

Happy Birthday Georgie!
Happy Birthday to our sweet little boy. Daddy made the very delicious banana cake with cream cheese frosting.
Pinewood Derby Cars
Heidi's pink mommy and baby dinasaur car. She named it "Sally". Sally did much better than expected as a racer. Dave did an amazing job building the cars. Heidi came up with both car design concepts and helped paint the base coat on Sally. I painted the rest of Sally and Dave painted Georgie's Super Igloo.
The Prize Winning "Super Igloo"
Georgie's Car won the "most creative" car category and did really well as a racer.
