Atlas!

Um, yes, we do feed him (in fact he can out eat me now).
No, this isn't a sponser for save the children.
Um, yes, he is growing (he is fairly tall).
No, he doesn't work out everyday (this is natural).
Imagine if he didn't drink his milk!

Do I look like a pillow?

Is this love?

One day, I can use this picture and be really mean, but for now we can call it cute! I just hope his prom date is this cute.

You found me!

No, we don't wash & dry the cat. He was just looking for a warm spot. Lucky for him, the dog can't turn on the dryer.

You better not . . .

If he actually does throw the snow ball and hit me, no one will be happy because the camera will get it too. Fortunately for Nick, he actually does listen once and awhile.

Brothers Keeper

These 2 are like 2 peas in a pod. They play together, sleep together, get in trouble together, you name it. Growing up, I never was one for cats, but these 2 are the best cats I have ever seen. They have their claws and have never swiped at anyone or hissed (except if Mazie backs them into a corner, but even that takes alot).

If you can't beat them . . .

Cosmo made himself at home on Mazie's bed so instead of having him for lunch, Mazie decided to sleep next to him and keep him warm.

Hey guys look it snowed!

That's our, not so normal dog, standing on the table outside on the deck. I have no idea why!

Are we there yet?

Do we know where we are going? How long will it take us to get where we are going? Does this have anything to do with Pop-pop walking 3 miles up hill in the snow both ways to get to school . . . Dad, are you trying to teach us a lesson. Maybe this is like the time Dad walked from the Plymouth Meeting mall back to Airy St in Norristown because Matt's car broke down and he didn't want to tell Pop-pop . . . are we being punished?

Did someone loose their kids?

You find all sorts of creatures in the woods. I believe these are Ewoks . . . or hobbits . . . maybe elves?

Welcome to Governor Dick

So who was Governor Dick you might ask . . . you probably don't care . . . well, Governor Dick was named for a husky man in the middle 1800's by the name of “Dick”. He was a wood chopper and charcoal burner in the area and was dubbed “Governor” by his friends.

I believe I can fly . . .

Look Mom, I can fly!

This is the view from about 90 feet up in this tower. Lord only knows why there is a tower in the middle of the woods. The plaque doesn't even explain the tower.

Where's Waldo?!

Do you remember that game? Well, try and find Nicola . . . she ok'd me taking her picture . . . from 90 feet in the air!!!!

There's my kids!

They find themselves in some crazy situations at times . . . let's just leave them there and call it a day!

This is where they belong!

Sometimes we have to make our punishments pretty harsh. Locking them in a tower would work if they were scared of heights and didn't like to climb.

Squidward, is that you?

My wife thought it would be funny to post what I look like at night! I put my hero in the picture too.

Happy New Year 2007!

Nicola, the photographer she is, has taken another beautiful photo right outside our door.
She always gets the good shots!
Thanks honey!

Rocky, Rocky, Rocky . . .

Well, it's not the Philadelphia Art Museum but it works!
7 years from now, I can show his girlfriend what he looked like at 9 in his new PJs.

Is that for me?

"Hey kid, is that for me, because I don't see much for me under that tree."
Mazie got treats and bones and a new collar, so don't worry, we didn't leave her out.

Waiting patiently . . .

Mazie is sitting and watching us open gifts.
Our little girl is growing up.
"Where's mine!?" she exclaims.

Just open it!

I will tell you what is in there if you don't tell anyone else. It's a R/C airplane from Santa! Oh, I forgot, Santa isn't real and Nicolas reminds me of this everytime I say the word 'Santa'!
Scrooge Jr!

Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2006 at our home with our 2 kids, the dog and the cats! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

A touch of Christmas

Here you see the white birch tree and the bushes I planted last year decorated for Christmas.

Not bad for Scrooge!

Here it is!

Everyone has been asking us to post a pic of our Christmas tree. And since I am such a Scrooge!
Ba-hum-bug!
This is all they're getting! A tin tree that stands 8" tall!

Is that our tree?

I think I stole this one from Charlie Brown's Christmas. We can all huddle around it, hold hands and sing the song the Who's sing in the Grinch!

Our Christmas tree . . .

Honey! I've shrunk the Christmas tree!

There's our Christmas tree!

We can't decide if we want to use the bare one or the metal Eiffel tower looking one. Oh never mind, maybe its in the next pic!

Geeze! It was outside!

Here we have the 3 Christmas trees on our front porch. No one wanted to open presents on the porch so you'll have to check out the next picture to find our Christmas tree.

Finally, here it is!

Ok, so after all that, now you can actually see the actual tree! Our Christmas tree!
Though I really liked the first one!
Bah-hum-bug!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nicola and I hosted our 1st Thanksgiving at our house. We enjoyed the day with her family. We pray everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving; enjoy the pics!

Where should we begin?

Food for thought

Is there room for more?

Women and children first . . .

Mazie girl!

She's 9 months old now and has become the third kid. She loves to play football with the boys and me. Overall, she's a good girl.

Two out of three!

It's 7:00 pm on Sunday night and two out of the three animals are sleeping. This means that they will be up all night! Well, the cats will be up all night.

Genesis 1:6 - 8

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

This picture was taken by my lovely wife out front of our house.

Genesis 1:20 - 23

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Thank you again to Nicola for the picture.
