Mud Boggin'

Erik decided to ignore the fact that it was cold outside and that the water would make him colder as he splashed through some of the standing water in our backyard.

Splish Splash!

Christopher and Erik broke big chunks of ice off from the leftovers along the river bank in the yard. When they hurled them into the icy river and they made huge splashes, Magnus was very entertained and wanted "more", so risking frostbite, they through MORE chunks into the St. Joe. It was fun.

A Very Good Day in the Neighborhood

Pam, Christopher and Magnus visited from Pittsburgh and we got to spend a little time enjoying the warmer-than-lately weather. Magnus loves to watch things go "splash" in the water and goodness knows we have had plenty of water this winter. Pam was trying to get a little work done in the house while the boys went out to play; and I followed to take pictures. It was a very good day.

More Blessings to Come

We were thrilled to find out that we will have another bundle of joy when September gets here. Pam and Christopher announced that Magnus will have a little brother or sister in the fall. "Oh, Brother, there's going to be another!" I hope the price of gas comes down - it won't matter, however! We may have to delay the start of school next fall. Substitues are usually easy to acquire the first week of school...
