Mary, Mary, life is but a dleam.

Birthday party!

Here's the big birthday girl.

Anna enjoyed the homemade play doh.

We used a fitted sheet for toddler kickball. Austin was content to be a spectator this year.

I can't believe the kids sat still! The photographers were amazingly fast.

Mary loves to give her brother hugs.

Austin's pretty proud of himself for having learned to sit up.

Anna's relaxing after helping Mom grocery shop. Actually, Mom's the one who worked hard--trying to keep her from "abandoning ship."
