We have visitors...

 
 This beautiful gray fox and her family have moved into the hedgerow along our backyard.
She has 4 of the cutest babies ever...but they are camera shy. 
Mama fox moves them every once in a while, but I can't seem to catch them with the camera.
Of course, this has led to an indepth study of gray foxes, and the most interesting fact we have learned is that they are the only member of the canine family that can climb trees....they really do....you can look it up on youtube and watch some videos of this amazing feat.

LOL!!

We pass this garage on the way to Grandma and Grandpa's house....
I felt like a stalker, but I finally got a photo!

A Science Lesson in the Front Yard

 Luke spotted this amazing site on our maple tree out in the front yard this morning.
A tiny ladybug....doing something??
After very close inspection, we realized we were watching a female ladybug lay eggs.
When it was first spotted, there were about 5 eggs, by the time she was finished she had laid 35 eggs.  Pretty amazing.
Guess what insect we are studying this week??

The Pirate Dance

Grace created a little pirate act which she thought would fit perfectly into Peter Pan the Musical in which she was perfoming. Her director liked it also, so here she is....making her solo debut!!

It's Twin Time

 It's that time of year when I experience a special time when my babies are twins....Irish twins, that is.
They are growing so quickly, I am very lucky to have these yearly photos to remember this special "twin" time.
 1 year old
 2 years old
 3 years old
 4 years old
 5 years old
And now, the big 6.  6 years old and marching off into the future together.
