Haylie loves acting out stories with her horses.

"Uhh, when am I gonna' get a turn?" (Ian)

Here Ian helps himself to Haylie's turkey (made in school!).

"I think I can handle this stubborn bronco."

Ian now climbs up on the bouncie, turns it on and bounces to the music, and then falls on to the floor where he rolls under the slide. What a boy!

See, Grandma, I'm not too big for this horsie!

HIGH SCORER? You bet. Josh seems pleased with his score on the Hot Wheels game on his "Smart Cycle" His little legs were a blur pedalling away!

BLAST OFF! Joshie fires rocket #3 (complete with appropriate sound effects)

Gail and the new pre-schooler

A few minutes before the second day of school

We tried on various hats at BRU . . .

From the look on his face, this was his favorite

One of the official greeters at the front door!

Haylie enjoyed helping construct the Halloween House. The sugar buzz from those bits and pieces of sweet stuff lasted for hours.

The finished product!

A wild ride!

You've heard of "Up the Down Staircase"?

Ian gave it his best try but could not crawl up the slide

"I'm coming through" and he certainly did crawl all around and up and down that playground equipment

Ian shows that he is as much a sport as his sister (don't miss the hat!)

Noah's had a magnificent rock ledge display with all kinds of wild animals and birds

Today is Ian's Baptism day. Family and friends gathered to celebrate. Here, Aunt Jo and Ian pause at the back of the church before Mass

This little boy was so good during the Mass and baptism ceremony. He never let out a cry even when water was poured on his head.

Father Joe of Holy Family Church prays at the start of Ian's baptism. Although the baptismal tub is big, Ian was not dunked, just sprinkled.

Just before the holy oil. (Notice the look alike hair styles on father and son!)
