Playing with Playdoh

Audrey picked up some Play-Doh for the girls, and Meg spent the better part of the late afternoon occupied and having fun.

Messy Dinner

Brooke apparently likes Spaghetti ... however, it is a good thing that Audrey took off her clothes before we ate, or else she'd be scrubbing them for weeks to come.

Video: At the Lake with Sprowls
We were able to spend a great day at Lake Jocassee with the Sprowls.  As always, we had a great time wakeboarding, knee boarding and skiing.  The girls really enjoy riding on the tube.  Today was historic as it was Brooke's first tube ride.

At the Park with Daddy
I took the girls to the park today and we all had a blast.  I borrowed a co-workers Nikon D200 and a couple of lenses, and continue my dream of getting a nice Nikon camera.  Click here to view the gallery.
 
Happy Birthday, Brooke!
Brooke's BirthdayBrooke turned 1 year old on the 12th, and we were able to have a birthday party for her tonight with many of our friends.  We've put together a gallery of pictures of the evening, which you can view by CLICKING HERE.
 
Video: Meg's vacation tube rides

Meg is becoming quite the little "fish" and loves to do most anything water-related ... swimming, riding boats, jet skis, and most of all, riding a tube behind Papa's boat.  Last week's vacation gave her time to do all of those things, and here are a few clips of her riding the tube.  If she keeps this up, she'll be a water-sport-addict just like her Daddy.  ;)

Video: Brooke's First Steps

Brooke has been taking steps for a few days now, and usually avoids the camera.  Tonight we got to capture a couple of shots of her walking and playing with Megan.

Video: Megan Singing, Counting, Spelling and Reciting Verses

I was able to get a couple of brief video clips of Megan singing Jesus Loves Me, counting to 10 (she always skips over #2), saying (most) of her ABC's, ans reciting Ephesians 4:32 and Ephesians 6:1-2.

Scottsdale Scenery

I've been in Scottsdale, AZ for the last few days and my wife's Uncle Gasper took me to a beautiful scenic overlook near their house.  All I had was the camera on my BlackJack II phone.  Here's a little panoramic shot I put together using Photoshop from several of the images.

Brooke after her bath

Here are a couple of pics of Brooke after her bath tonight ... looking cute as ever (in my completely impartial opinion).
