Afternoon at the Park & Tyler's 11 month portraits...

We took the kids to the park for the afternoon and had fun with the wagon, at the playground, and finding and feeding the squirrels. While there we took time for some great portraits of Tyler.

Enjoy!

Tyler's Dedication - October 16th, 2010

Tyler's dedication was on October 16th, and we had a great group of friends as well as Aunt Julie and Bobo (my dad) with us for that special time.

Meet Name the Squirrel

Jon hung a bird feeders in our backyard Fall of 2009 in hopes that Natalie could enjoy watching birds all winter. Well, the birds didn't know it was there last winter, but they certainly discovered the food come spring...and summer...and well, now they know! So Natalie has really taken a liking to having a job for her being to help fill the feeder each time. And we've had almost a whole year now of being very excited to watch the birds at the feeder. About mid-summer, we met a squirrel that frequents our backyard. Natalie took quite a liking to the squirrel, and enjoyed feeding him peanuts. This Fall, Jon asked her, What should we name our squirrel?" and Natalie responded, "Name." So, the squirrel's name became "Name." He has become quite the exciting sighting (Natalie always yells, "It's Name!! I see Name the 'quirrel!!" whenever she she's him) so we took his picture and felt him worth of a blog post...
