our family outside the Chicago Temple in late 2007

our "family portrait" from September 2007

Mommy takes Leah & David on what will hopefully become our annual October trip: to the pumpkin patch!

Daddy takes the afternoon off work to take the kids to a local playground.

Grandma pushes the kids on the swing set she and Pop bought for the back yard. (Yes, our back yard abuts a cornfield!)

The kids play with a dollhouse at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum.

Leah enjoys a special treat at Cold Stone Creamery!

Our Church's "Trunk or Treat" was preceded by a parade around the cultural hall. Here's the costumes Mommy made for the kids, each of which won an award in our neighborhood costume contest.

Leah and David have been taking swim classes at the YMCA since they were two and one, respectively.

While visiting Grandma & Pop, the kids got to put their swimming lessons to good use!

Leah loved the swing ride on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights!

Casino Pier is home to one of the nation's oldest carousels, complete with original horses!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what more need be said of this one?

Pop introducing his grandkids to one of Daddy's childhood friends, Chuck E. Cheese.

Every once in a while, the kids ask if they can break out the finger paints. As long as we keep it in the (uncarpeted) kitchen, that sounds like a great idea to Mommy and Daddy!
