Alaina's Birthday

Alaina wanted to get up with the other kids and open her presents before they went to school, so her hair is looking a bit frazzled in the pictures. She is now a big 4-year-old.

A Dora watch from Grandma, just what she had been asking for.

She had to reach clear to the bottom.

She loved her strawberry birthday cake. She even did the sprinkles all by herself if you can't tell.

Riley's first hunt

Riley shot his first birds this fall. They are ruffed grouse. He had a good time, hopefully he doesn't become as addicted as his father. . .

1st day of School

The kids started school in Rockland this year. Madison is in 3rd grade and Riley in 5th. They both like the new school and having Grandma right down the hall. The classes are smaller, but they both are being challenged and are working hard.

8 is Great!!

Madison turned 8 on July 23 and her baptism was on August 1st. She chose to be baptized by her Uncle Richard. It turned out fitting because Josh was the one who baptized Richard. Her dad did the confirmation.

It was a wonderful day with friends and family. We are glad she made this choice.

Celebrating Alaina

Alaina doesn't get a lot of face time on here because she doesn't have as many activities as the other kids so here is a few shot of her. WE LOVE OUR ALAINA!!!
