What's it gonna be?

Decisions decisions....

Once in a while in life you are faced with an opportunity for change. It's the Road Less Traveled thing again. Only this time it's this...

or this...

So...Love it here
Friends
Picturesque
Warmer winter
Small town life



Love it here
Friends
Exciting
City life



Oh yeah... the other thing?

(among others)

Three hours away (and Erie just one)...
or
Seven hours away...



Decision?
by a landslide.

Summer vaca...another part

One day we decided to take a picnic dinner to the State Park.
(By the way, Mel and Kyle came too...apparently they are camera shy)

Cam was daring. He wanted to hang from the bars and walk his way across...

The first one was easy. Then he had to move his hands...

But... he did it!! (ok, Melanie was on the bottom end helping just a little)

Kaela took off on the slide...

Cam was close behind...

Kaela's turn to be daring with a swing from the high bars..

And there was time to play at the beach...

Back at home, Kae was just hanging out. Looking out the door. What's this --a screen door?

YEAH!!!

How I Spent My Summer Vacation, part 1

Summer vacation this year was a week in Family Fest 2008. It was great to spend a whole week with everyone, but especially Cam and Kaela. Here are photos part 1:

Kaela with a happy thought...

Maybe she had an idea...

Cam is seriously considering it...

Then we went to Artpark to consult with the vultures...

And all the kids painted (thank goodness for the mom's forethought to remove shirts. Turned out the paint wasn't the kind that washes out...


The adults critiqued...
And finally for today, Kaela rides her trike...
It just doesn't get better than this...more photos to come

Misha Simone Lunger

Last week was family week, or Family Fun Fest, as Melanie describes it. So there are lots of pictures and fun events to come, but here is the most important! We got to meet our newest family member, little Misha. She is just wonderful..pretty little girl with a cute little nose and maybe her daddy's eyes.

Misha sleeps on daddy's shoulder--

And in Aunt Melanie's arms--

And in my arms--

But finally -- awake and looking forward to when she can play with her cousins (sorry, Mel, it was the only pic of all three of them)
