Old City in Lego

We used 70,000 Lego bricks to build the Old City of Jerusalem one weekend.  What a wild time!

BrightStart Play

Ashley was the narrator in the BrightStart afterschool play!  Here are two clips from the play:

Happy 30th Birthday!

A treasured member of the family turned 30 years old in May, and here's a hint:  it's neither person in the photo, but the attractive car in the photo!

Happy birthday, little red coupe!  You provided MLD with heart thumpin' racing excitement:

Bragging rights when it comes to towing capacities:

And have given MLP carefree mornings (and many afternoons) to and from Anna's Bakery.

Here's to many more years of happy motoring!

Moose Vacation

Tate "The Moose" went to vacation camp in April.  Here's the daily pictorial report sent back from his teachers:

Acting Skills

Recently MLD was an extra in a locally filmed TV show.  We can't say any more about it until it's released, sorry...

But when MLD saw a crew sign for the show, he stopped and snapped a photo with Tate:

Crazy Faces

Look at these two:  goofing off on a Sunday morning...

Mother's Day (from Adam)

What a sweet note to receive from Adam!

Independence Day: Noah's Last Photos

Today is a happy day for America and a somewhat sad day for our blog.

These are the last photos of Noah taken by Laura.

Laura snapped these photos of Noah while they were on a walk in Lexington.  Noah was teething and unhappy, so we all hoped some fresh spring air would do him some good.

It did. Look at his grin!  And he slept so well that afternoon.

May it be all blue skies and clear sailing ahead for you, Noah my love.  Mommy and Daddy miss you more than you will ever know.  Your spirit, love and smile with be with us wherever we go.

Stroller Napping

Sometimes I wish someone would bundle me up and push me around in a stroller so that I could take a good nap...

Noah is happy anytime he can sneak in a good nap:

Arroz con Leche

Ashley sings a song called "Arroz con Leche" that she learned from Andrea and Laura.  Here she sings it to Noah who seems to like it just as much as she does:

If you're interested in learning the lyrics, here you go:

Arroz con leche me quiero casar
con una señorita de la capital
Que sepa cocer
Que sepa cocinar
Que sepa abrir la puerta
Para ir a jugar
Con esta si
Con esta no!
Con esta señorita me caso yo!

Loose translation:

Rice and milk, I want to get married,
With a lady from the city
Who knows how to sew
Who knows how to cook
Who knows how to open the door
To hang out and play
This one yes
This one no
With this lady I’ll marry!

Look What I Found!

Look what I found!  My toes!
