Park

Eleanor can do all kinds of things by herself now. And she likes it.



Buddy is trying to catch up with Daddy and Eleanor. Little legs = it will be awhile



Sometimes Clay will do things like this to freak me out. How do I cope? I take a picture. By this point Athanasius was swinging his legs and half yelling to get off. He is not a risk taker.





I have pretty much surrendered that I will look like a human apple with arms and legs by the end of this pregnancy. That's okay...I will have another little Pearlstein to hold.







This was Athanasius' one adventurous moment. I snapped the picture and started over to help him up; as soon as I did he was already coming down. The ground is better I guess.


This pretty much sums up Eleanor. :)








This is his "mad" face.

Do you see the common theme in these pictures? Buddy pretty much just enjoys poles and mulch while Eleanor has to try EVERYTHING. I was snapping pictures and realized I only had a few of Eleanor because she was so hard to keep up with. :) But then I got busy and felt like I evened it out some.
A night at the park...simple and fun.

Last Year...

These were taken at our "parking lot" it is around the corner of our house in some Assembly of God parking lot. I'm not sure exactly how old Ellie is but Athanasius is small enough that he was in the stroller. She looks a lot younger. Now Nayshe is allowed to run around. When they are older it is going to be a fun place to ride bikes.






These were taken at Dowling Park. We love parks. They are free and so much fun. Clayton usually finds some stranger to talk too. Which I think is hilarious, because that is what my Dad always does. I talked to someone at the grocery store the other day and Clay said he was proud of me. :) We balance each other.





Ellie can do this now and is very happy about it. And Mommy isn't scared anymore. :)



There is something about this one I love a lot.





He makes me smile.



These last few were also at Dowling. These crazy kids crack me up. :)



And lastly, this was our pet for a couple days. He was huge and awesome. Clay and I would catch bugs and throw them in the jar and we would all watch as he devoured them. Then Mommy screwed the lid on all the way (I thought Daddy did it and it went well...) and our poor pet was no more. But it was fun while it lasted.

Hopefully more old pictures coming soon!
