A Cute Moment with Julie

B&W Girls

Honestly, Jocie is one of our better eaters... but, she really does make room for a piece of cake in this picture

Look at that confidence!!! Going for her "drum solo", here is Julie with some drum sticks perferct for her age...

In Traverse City with the Pike Kids (for Mimi)

Joey and Jess wait to catch a train (one that's just their size).

A perfect pair: brother and sister!

... as the "peg-legged" sea captain and the mermaid...

... or as a Victorian-era couple.

Julie as she lectures me about the fine points of her floor-view based expertise.

Yogurt Face!!!

At Mimi's hand...

Jocie sits awaiting her favorite cottage celebrity... Brent.

Joey decided the water was a tad too cold to go in, but was perfect for racing the waves along the shore.

Here is what Jocie loves most in TC and with her favorite person to do it with.

Britt is an excellent show-person for the fun had on the beach during the Summer's in TC.

The Last Day of Summer

An intense look fills Jocie's face... she was enjoying the last day we would be in our pool for this year (temps after this dropped into the 50's and 60's for weeks and ruined the pool temps).

Jess doing one of those "Jess" things that I just love so much: eating in the pool when I deliberatly told her not too... hence the face.

Julie is quickly becoming the "drummer" of the family (following in her daddy's footsteps... she makes me proud). Here she practices drumming while eating the #2 cookie from her "Cookie Monster" collection.
