Manzy (our cat) is a timid sort, but he knows exactly how close he can let Caleb get before he needs to run a few paces ahead or dart under a table. It's hilarious to watch them!

About the candids . . . I think part of my secret is to take LOTS of photos and then you end up with some that are great records. Most of my family is accustomed to me with my camera because I was taking pictures (and my mom was before me) long before blogging. I won't say that there is never any ham! And then there's the one child who looks like the proverbial deer in headlights when she sees the camera turned her way! I have to take multiples of her or I'd never have any!

The pics and the captions made me smile the whole way through. :) I wonder how you managed to raise kids (and them marry spouses) who are so comfortable letting you take all these wonderful candid shots. In my family, once someone sees the camera, they're all ham.

When you can see them ponder and consider and then react to something that they see or what someone said? I love that!) <br /><br />Thanks for your kind words, Ellen!

Always growing, changing, expanding, maturing . . . which is why it's important to soak up the moments as they are. <br /><br />How can Clark be 3 already?! It seems we (you and Tim, Ron and I) were just eating lunch together and talking about the baby boy about to be born! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing the moments with us. Love you too!

I love to see how the kids have grown and changed over the years. Sweet to see Gavin bring a 'friend' along to the family gathering. Our families just expand and grow. <br />We are in the middle of a big birthday month for us, it was fun to Marco Polo with Clark whose birthday was last Friday. He's 3 now and love the Bulldozer we sent!<br />Love you friend.
