First half of 2009

GREETINGS -Here are some photos from the first 6 months of this year. It has been so fast, and so fun -- so much activity and the kids are growing well.

NOTE - After I loaded these pictures, all my oh-so-interesting captions have gotten jumbled, with the words appearing randomly around the pictures. So basically you will see pictures of our trip to Colorado (Sand Dunes National Park / Zapata Falls), Garden of the Gods (Colorado Springs) , Baseball in Orlando, Gymnastics in Orlando, Swim lessons, and camping
