Meanwhile, at Home

Wouldn't you know it, as soon as we left town yesterday, a storm blew in and toppled our coop. It also took out a tree along our driveway and caused havoc all over town. Lucky for us, we have good friends who stepped in to help.

And Sheila is always happy when Gabby looks after her...

Frog Catchin'

On a warm Sabbath afternoon, what could be better than catching froggies with your Nana and Papa? Nothing, apparently. Zeke was in heaven.


Eww.




Lincoln takes a turn on the four-wheeler. (Note that he does not let go of his little wooden spatula.)

Great Grandma

We couldn't visit Montana without dropping in to see Great Grandma Edna. I always love to see how Zeke cuddles up to her. I don't think he remembers a time when she wasn't in his life. This time he was very intrigued by her oxygen tubes, but was gentle.

Thanks for snapping these, Marla!




Apparently grandma and I were have a very serious discussion of some sort...

Minnie's Montana Cafe

For home-style comfort food, nobody beats Minnie's. The staff is friendly and the portions are huge. And they don't seem to mind a couple of unruly toddlers.

Nana Portraits

Thanks to Nana for sharing your Zeke and Linc portraits. It is always fun to see what these little ones get into whilst exploring.

Uncle Larry's Hill

So many great reasons to check out Uncle Larry's hill. There are bountiful critters to collect, dirt to eat, and maybe even a fake snake (if you are brave enough to get close).

Gabby Snaps

Gabby and Lincoln at it again. This time the cookies are flower shaped!

Babushka Boy

This crazy little dude. He took off his shirt then insisted on wearing it around his head. Love him.

Uncle Jeremy

Jeremy called today to say that he was passing through and could stop in for a few minutes. Luckly, it was right before Zeke's naptime, because he would have hated to have missed this. We got a little driving lesson and I think Zeke is ready to sign up and head to North Dakota! He took it quite seriously, as you can see.




And then the singing commenced. 

Bath Buds

These boys... Such rascals.
