Kezzie reading to Owen:) Melts my heart. The other day I heard her reading from her devotional and she was asking him "Owen, what can you do for others?" Then she gave him a list of options. She read on and I heard her stumbling over a word. She said "Owen, wait just a second. I've got to sound out this word." Righteousness is a tough word, I'll give her that!

 More sibling love

Surprise...it's that flash again.

 Possibly the greatest shot of these two yet.

 Have I mentioned how amazing this little girl is? That smile greets me every morning.

 Kezia is already teaching Isla how to play Old Maid. I find it somewhat disadvantageous that Isla's cards must be exposed all the time.

 SUCH a big helper. Depending on what you're looking for I guess.

 Ash this one's for you. I think this could be your screen saver if you needed a little boost every morning.

 Left my lunch on a table just long enough to change a diaper and someone starting eating it. Actually, he ended up eating most of it.

 Took these to send to Aunt Ashley one night, but couldn't seem to get a "normal" one.

 Sunday morning cuteness.

 YEAH!!!! A cousin on the Swann side. And that brings the total to Beeke: 44, Swann: 1. Little Madison Marie is going to be VERY loved by her cousins.

 She is a beautiful little girl.

 All the kiddos.

First days of school and things like that...

 Can't believe it's that time already. Kezzie kept asking why I was pulling that funny face. Neither of us had any breakdowns that morning, but it was a pretty tight hug goodbye in the classroom!

 Kezzie loves school. I'm so happy we decided to send her!

 Now I spend a bit more time with this little munchkin.

 The best kind of days. Even Owen was in the water.

 Isla was ready for anything.

 Her first Lake Michigan experience. No crying involved.

 Owen on the other hand was not totally convinced this beach thing was a great idea.

 And then the old pro.

 Another newbie to Lake Michigan. We couldn't have asked for a better week to introduce Uncle Jorge to the lake.

 Uncle Dave playing the role well.

 This is actually what Jorge spend most of his time doing: pulling Kezzie. He slept very well.

 Our homemade school bus. Sort of a random picture here.

 Watching the boats with Grandma. I don't think she gets quite as many books read of vacation when the munchkins are around.

 Classic sibling shot. Licorice included.

 Isla LOVED cousin Levi's jumper.

 Owen's birthday in Canada. Granny B was so sweet and bought him a cake. The only thing he was really concerned about was the balloon decoration.

 Love this.

 A day at the farm.

 And Kezzie's birthday. Couldn't even get the cake out of the box for the picture. I'm pretty I couldn't have fooled anyone anyhow!

 "Mom, don't leave me alone with them!"
