Granny & Grandpa were visiting from California (Granny is still here, Grandpa went home yesterday)! All the cousins came to our house on Saturday to eat and hang out and it was a blast! The weather was just warm enough for the kids to go out and play! We had a sled in the back yard! Why it was back there, I do not know. We have not had any snow. I think Nolan was playing with it one day. The kids quickly discovered that on our hill, if you put enough kids on the sled, you do not need snow! Uncle Chad helped out too! That helped them go faster! When we bought the house, the hill was covered with tiny pine trees and seemed more of a mowing nuisance than anything, but now that we cleared it off, it has been a wonderful asset to our yard! It is perfect for sledding in the winter and homemade slip n' slides in the summer!
Granny soaking in some grandkid sliding action while holding spaghetti-face Callie... who loves her Granny! She loved to rub noses with her!
Oh! And check out her shirt! It is a Halloween shirt! She actually was wearing the shirt she has on underneath first, the dark grey one. It is a Halloween shirt as well that says, "Don't make me scare you!" She said Nolan always scared her and she wanted to be more scary than him so she put ANOTHER Halloween shirt over the first Halloween to make her "even more scary!" See, 2 Halloween shirts are better than one, even if you can't see the first one! (The cute thing is the one on top actually just says "sweet"). I love the rationality of a 3 year old! If only life were that simple! She makes me smile!

You know what I notice in lots of your pictures (newest Shutterfly ones too)? It looks like it may be cold outside (at least to Granny in these pictures and in park pictures on Shutterfly Lettie is wearing a jacket) but she is always barefoot! A kid after my own heart!
Look at all those BIG kids!
Yep Pat! You are right! Lettie is my barefoot kid! I always was too growing up! We went to the park and the first thing she did was took her shoes off! She is a "minimalist"... she often is in nothing but panties. Right now I think she only has panties on! The child can go from being fully clothed to in her panties in the same time it takes me to shut the front door! We laugh about how quick it takes her to strip down when we come home from places!
That was so much fun to watch. I miss them all already.
Look at my boy the ham - Colin, not Chad.
Great pictures. Those kids...
