Trips to the Zoo

The kids with Nonnie and Papa and their cousins Sean and Amanda at the zoo

The New Park

The city put in a new playground built especially for handicapped children at one of our favorite parks. Asher and Giya love these big "double" swings and the twirly things.

Pirates of the Kansas Plains

Playing pirate at the Children's Museum here in Wichita. They love using the term "ahoy", "skalleywag" and constantly say "arghhhhhh" and ask for eye patches while playing pirate. The top photo is Asher playing dress up and making himself a pirate with the little resources he has - use your imagination, he does!

The Airshow

In August, the Air Capital of the World has one of its many airshows. This one has these read metal kid-cycle-airplanes for the kids to ride in. As we were walking out on the "tarmac" to pick their planes, Giya was shouting "pink, pink"....how did she get so "girly".

The Trombone

My dad is soooooo proud of this. Asher had been asking to play the trombone for months and couldn't wait until we got to Papa's house and could try it there. My dad played for years/decades in jazz bands, etc. Asher played until his lips were "tingly".

In Atlanta - Before New Neice Arrived

We got to stop off in Atlanta on the giant roadtrip back and see Jill pregnant - a mere 4 days before little Evelyn came into the world.
