Lucy is sporting her new winter wardrobe in this picture—the pink coat, the blue hat, the sly grin.

Sara took Ben and Lucy to a dog show last week. Ben hated it; Lucy loved it. She had her face painted like a dalmation, but it had to be pink.

Ben has fun in the leaf pile.

Ben has more fun throwing a leaves up in the air.

Ben gets a thrill out of riding his bike through the leaves.

Our little boy wonder, Ben, just learned how to ride a two-wheeler. Here he is, testing out his Halloween costume while he races down the sidewalk.

The heavy rain storm that swept through Grand Rapids on Sunday was the perfect opportunity for Lucy to test out her new rain duds.

Ben and Lucy in the driveway, holding flowers and dressed in their Easter clothes.

Lucy opens up her mouth for the camera again, filled with the joy of climbing rocks at the zoo in Tampa.

The pilot graciously let Ben sit in his seat in the cockpit before takeoff. Ben was thrilled. He even got to say “hi everyone” through the PA.
