Our children have aged...

We've been having a lot of fun in the Anderson house the past few months.  We've had to deal with quite a lot of sick kids (and adults), but we were able to celebrate (multiple times) Samantha's first birthday and Jake's sixth!

Jake is doing awesome at school and is turning into quite a good reader and mathematician.

Samantha is helping to feed herself, has a mouthful of teeth (at least almost there) and she took her first solo steps.  Even without walking, she's into everything.  When she goes through a room, it often times looks like there's been a mini-tornado and not a 12 month old that passed through!

There are LOTS of pictures to get to with this post.  Please find links to each month below.

Is Anyone Out There?

We've only had 9 visitors to the blog in the last quarter.  Is anyone even reading this any more?

Oh, you're suggesting it's my fault because I've been lazy and haven't uploaded any photos in that time?

Sure, it's always easy to blame someone else.

Well, here you go!

Summer 2011

We hope everyone had a great summer.  Ours was busy, but full of fun.  Between camping trips and our Shelby trip, to swimming, splash parks, baseball games, and just playing in the yard, we had a lot of fun.

Now we're in back-to-school mode.  Michele is back to teaching.  Jake is loving his new kindergarten class.  And, Samantha seems to enjoy spending her days at The Learning Tree.

It's been a while, so the new pictures span three months.  Please click on each month to view those pictures.

Summer is Flying By

We are having a great summer so far.  We've had a camping trip.  We've gone swimming in lakes, Great and small.  We've gone swimming in pools.  The Pruss family came in for a great visit that included a Tiger's game.  Michele and I celebrated our 9th year of marriage!  Samantha was Baptized.  There's been lots going on, and you can see lots of pictures from May, June, and July.

Mother's Day / Michele's birthday have both flown by.  Our little girl is now 3 months old!  Our 5-year-old is beginning his training to one day become the best US born soccer player to ever have touched the turf.

Otherwise, time is just flying by at the Anderson household.  Click here to see more pictures.
