These are just a couple of pictures out our back yard of the sunset and shortly after we caught the flash from a bolt of lightning.

Kids are growing like weeds, it seems like just recently cooper was not even able to move around on the floor. Now he can stand next to things and is pretty proficient at crawling up stairs and anywhere else he wants to go.

Got the kids together in the backyard the other evening and even got them to sit close together without one of them pulling the others hair or making them cry.

This seems to be a tradition, each kid likes to stand on Jeremy's hand. Maggie was never really good at it and seemed to be scared, like Cooper looks here. Gabe was a natural. He would stand up there and look around like he was on solid ground.
