Here are some of our New York pictures. We used a new camera and some of these didn't turn out very well.

Here's Betsy on the top of the Empire State Building.
Here's Spiderman! We saw him at Battery Park-making sure everyone was being safe.












Here's Ryan in front of the Statue of Liberty.
Now it's Betsy's turn!

We had such a great time! So many fun things to see and do!

Timothy and Jeremiah testing for their new belts.

Timothy was the highest ranking belt so he had to do some extra things all by himself. Jeremiah had to sit and wait patiently, which is almost as hard for him to do as the actual requirements on the test.

Here is Rebekah. She is wearing the dress that Grandmom made for her when we visited Little Rock this summer. She loves wearing it so much! She feels very special wearing it. Every time she sees her dress she says, "This is the dress Grandmom made for me!"




A lady at church asked me where I got this dress "because it looks so vintage!" Mom used the same pattern that she had used when I was a baby. That's nice to know that I'm old enough for my baby clothes to be "vintage!"
Here is Ryan with the kids! A pretty good pose I think! They had a great time on each other's shoulders! I of course volunteered to take the picture!

Hello everyone! Emily finally guilted me into creating a blogspot since we were the only ones to not have one! We just got back from a weekend at the lake. We rode on jet skis, went in the canoe, played on the waterfalls, rode on the tube and kneeboard and stayed up late teaching the cousins how to play Risk. (Ryan won, of course! He is very good at that game!) All in all we had a great time! Now we are all tired and sore and trying to get ready for church.

I hope that I am doing this right. I will try to post a few pictures really quickly and then get back to it later! We love you all!
