visit with Nana & Pepere 2011

Nana & Pepere braved the snow and cold to venture up to Maine for a lovely mid-winter visit!
Much fun was had playing with tools




Playing with legos (they did it while the kids were around,


but this creation was put together after the kids were in bed!)



Goofing around


playing games


playing playdoh


and of course, getting tatooed


Thanks for a great visit!

Having a little fun in the snow


grinning about something



and his sparkly eyes

snowy beautiful morning

lovely sunrise the other day - just had to take the camera out

Snow!

We got a little today so Nana, Pepere and the kids all headed out for a little fun :)

that time again!

I'm taking another photography class, and am again harassing the kids to let me practice on them... I'm learning that time on Greg's (well, Adobe's) iPad is a much better incentive than chocolate these days. I've been able to get a few cute shots, but have also gotten a lot of silliness too:















at least I've got the dog to work with!

The family that lego's together....

Nick's most recent lego project was to create minifigures of some of the members of our family. :)

Our family: Greg, me, Nick, Tim & Jake

(Sorry, Greg is a little blurry - just his lightning fast speed) I'm rocking the Luke Skywalker shirt. The one on the end is Tim because he has shorter legs than Nick.

Grandma, Barney & Papa, with coffee:


The Petersons: Kevin, Amanda in her fur-lined hoodie, Soren and Bodie



Nana & Pepere:


The Kettells: Fiona, Mason, John & Jess. We were running a little low on lego parts so Jess is wearing her space helmet, and John is channeling a pirate :)

cold and happy!
