So here it is...Merry Christmas! Everybody's having fun!

Hope your holiday was great. Ours was, but it pooped Mom and Dad out for sure.

Enjoy the slide show!

Sorry for the long delay

It's been a while since I've posted some pictures. Here are some random ones from the last few weeks. Christmas pics will be up maybe next week.

Happy Holidays

Happy Thanksgiving!

From the kids. What's new? You might notice by the gang sign he's flashing and the blue hoodie that Isaiah has joined the Crips. Which is unfortunate, as Snapfinger Woods is "Blood" turf. We're keeping an eye out.

Just Random Cuteness

The L-Train all dressed in her Sunday best

Quinn's Sixth Birthday

And here we are at the end of the birthday season - just in time for the holidays.

Quinn invited buddies over for his Halloween themed party, so everyone was in costume. Q scored some great gifts and many Legos.

Obligatory "Happy Birthday" song:

Another peek at Quinn's class

Solving the pressing issues that matter to kindergarteners today such as, "What's your favorite type of ice cream?"

Beware, Athens

So begins the toddling

Quinn's Kindergarten Class

Quinn's kindergarten teacher at Barnett Shoals, Gena Short, has a cool website for her classroom.

This is a short video peek at their morning centers. Notice who she starts with on the video - I think he's a little bit of a teacher's pet.

Isaiah's Third, Daniel's thiry-second

Isaiah was very happy with all of the "an-mels" he received - books, stuffed, plastic toys and all. He also very much enjoyed his "E-I-E-I-O Cake". Only one more to go during the Moore birthday season (Quinn's 6th on October 23rd).

Look what Quinn learned to do today...

Pretty cool! Not even one fall - he took right to it.

Game Day!

The kids take a moment in their UGA finest before the first tailgate of the season. Go Dawgs!

Quinn and Luke have a toast

Here's Quinn and his buddy Luke having a drink (of water) at the back-to-school party Friday night.

London's First Birthday

Wow...that was quick, wasn't it? Though baby London's actual birthday is today, we had her party Sunday. All of the Moore / Cowne / Elder clan made it. Her party theme was "pink", and she had a sweet Disney Princess cake from Publix (see picture).

She got a TON of clothes, which was great for Mom and Dad. Her big brother Quinn picked out an "Abby Caddabe" doll for her which she loves (that's in a picture below too).

Isaiah's up next - it's birthday party season for the Moore kids (in fact, look for a funny Izzy cameo in the second video).

Stone Mountain Trip

Since we didn't take a big family vacation this year, this was the second of our two day trips to Atlanta.

Again, just the boys. Back in the summer of 2005 while Beegee was pregnant with Isaiah, Quinn and I went to Stone Mountain weekly, and of course he remembers none of it.

Isaiah's favorite part was the train, and Quinn loved the new skywalk (basically a three-level ropes course)

Rain

Here are the boys playing in the rainstorm we got on the 4th of July. It's crazy how drought-stricken Georgians react to a little precipitation these days.

Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo

Here are some good pictures from our trip to Zoo Atlanta Tuesday the 1st. We just took the boys and let the L-Train sit this one out. They had a blast. I think Isaiah's favorite was the African exhibit with the zebras and elephants (the boy loves him some elephants), and Quinn loved the panda bears and reptile house.





Both boys loved the petting zoo. Isaiah was funny; he would run up to each goat, crouch down and stare it in the face for a few seconds, then pet it.



Quinn scaled this pretty large climbing wall in the kids' section. Impressive!

Luke's Birthday

The boys headed down to Luke & Gracie's this week for Luke's 7th birthday party. He had a sports party, thus the putting green (he also had a chipping center, basketball hoop and a football toss. Happy b-day, Luke!





I have no idea what Isaiah got in his hair to make it do this, but the kids had a pretty good laugh. Poor guy was looking around and laughing too, having no idea.
