Fantasy Baseball

With spring training beginning, it's way past time for me to post these pics. One month 'til draft day 2010!

February Happenings

Things were really quiet upstairs; this is what I found when I opened the door to the bedroom. . .a tent city.
Never too young to start - Audrey's reading "The Banner."

They are smiling now, but they weren't smiling when they both tried to get out at the same time.

This picture is taken from above of our coffee table. I left the room for a couple of minutes and this where I found A & S.

Sleeping Beauty.

Goin' Solo

Last fall I mentioned to Karl that maybe someday I could go and visit the McBrides in San Diego by MYSELF. . .He surprised me with "Sure, when do you want to go?" I think he was looking forward to the challenge of watching all 4 kids by himself for a long weekend, but thankfully, Grandpa and Grandma Pollack came to help. I didn't quite know what to do with myself after I was dropped off at the airport. . .is that crying baby mine??? NO! This is Balboa Park from the air. . .the McBrides live a couple blocks East of the SE corner.
That's not my plane, but it is the McBrides house. The incoming flight path goes directly over their house.

We took a 10 minute walk to the dog park. This is the view of downtown from the edge of the park.

You'll have to ask Mandy why she requires the kids to wear helmets in the dog park. Ridley is hard to see, but she is waiting for Olivia to throw the ball. It was fun to meet some neighbors at the dog park and the playground.

I enjoyed spending a couple of afternoons in the backyard soaking up some California sun and reading my book. I even picked a few grapefruit off the tree. The only thing missing was the diapers hanging on the line. . .those will be coming in about 5 months.

Olivia and Joseph both enjoy riding their bikes - here she is in front of her house.

Olivia, Joseph, and Baby in front of a Bird of Paradise plant in bloom. . . in January!

A walk near Seaport Village.

Flying kites at Seaport Village. Yes, the weather was absolutely perfect.

Love this family! We definitely miss having them in St. Louis, but it was great to see the way the Lord is blessing their ministry in San Diego.

Visitation

Aunt Lesley stopped by for "visitation." She termed the twins' jail "the Octagon." How long before A & S figure out how to knock over that gate?
It's all smiles inside the octagon.

The girls are all ears as Grandma reads a story.


Grandpa and Grandma were kind enough to share their "Avatar" glasses with A & L.

Playing on Grandpa's legs. Audrey with another winner of an expression!
