Boo-ya! 3 months for Miss Mia!

 Look at Miss Mia sitting pretty in her Bumbo seat watching GMA.
 Hanging with her cousin Molly.
 Seriously?  It really was chilly and those adorable leg warmers were weather warranted!
 Sweetness.  Can't believe 3months have passed.
 Boo-ya!  I got hair. Yup. I got the Baughman widow's peak too.
Hangin' with my big sis, Tessa.
Taking a cat nap. Looking like her brother.

Second Day of Kindergarten

 Look at my poor baby after her second day of school!  All that learnin' is tiring!

First Day of School

 So hard to believe the first day of school 2012 is here?!?  What?  I know.  And, this year, we got to send along two little munchkins.  Nate started 2nd Grade.  Ruling the elementary school as the oldest kids in the school.  Tessa had her elementary debut in Kindergarten.
 All smiles...but 6:45am did roll around a little early for these kids who'd been vacationing the entire week prior. Going to bed when it is still light outside is torture.
 Waiting for the bus
 All loaded up with backpacks and lunches...
 ...and Lost&Found tags for those munchkins that just get thrown on the bus by terrible working parents!
And they're off. Tear.

It's Football Season!

With the arrival of our very own Denard Robinson (aka Mia Lucene, much to the bigs dismay), we have come to love football no less!  Nate's cousin Zack recently got Nate his very own Dexter football jersey.  We're hoping for winning seasons all around for the Wolverines and the Dreadnaughts! And, we'll always root for the Napoleon Wildcats too!

 Seriously?  I know. This will definitely resurface for High School graduation for at least one of them.
 Look!  That's HAIR!   And kind of a gas face.  But, look!  Hair!
 Papa 'Hara and Mia

You'd think it was any exciting game the way Mia perked up...it wasn't.  It was actually very, very disappointing.  Mommy had to go to bed.  Frustrated and angry.

Summer Vacay 2012

We spent a week at the lake for our last hurrah of the summer.  I took a bazillion pictures and have tried to capture the majority of the week in the following snap shots.  We had sun & fun!  No complaints.
 Tessa went fishing...and caught some fish with her bare hands! 

 Thanks Aunt Amy for that awesome feather that is still sticking up off the top of my head and makes me look like a peacock!
 Mom and Mia...yep, that's Mia in the sling.  She's the "good one."
 The kids got pulled on the "couch tube" through the channels several gajillion times throughout the week.
 Taking a stroll down the sand bar.  Swim shoes are not attractive but you can't help but think "awwwh."

 Nate became obsessed with swimming with goggles and snorkel.



Sunny day with a nice breeze...perfect for the kite!

 The girls. Mia in the cocoon.  I look pretty bad @ss in my backwards hat, eh?
 This gem blew in to our swimming area and the kids thought they'd hit the jack pot...until the owners came to claim it.  Buzz kill.  We got a good afternoon of bouncing out of it though.
 Mia hanging with Gramma Char.  She loves vacation.
 Nate wake boarding and our short-lived ownership of a water tramp.
Popping popcorn fireside with Vicki.
