Sean (and freiend Benjamin) in the tent out back.

Seanie has been practicing his soccer skills (as has Abby -- see below).

Abby's Soccer Camp!

Abby has been partaking of our school's youth soccer camp for the last few weeks. They practice on Tuesday evenings, and have games on Saturday mornings. She's really having a blast, and she's improving game by game. And, as you'll see, she looks adorable playing.

Our little soccer girl.

An excellent throw-in.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

High-five for the coach!

She's doing a great job, chasing down the ball -- and, she's getting more aggressive about kicking it!

Go Abby!

This is how the games end -- parents make a tunnel and cheer, kids run through and LAUGH!

Cookin' stuff's messy.

A young Chopin practices his scales.

Or, a young Sean presses a piano key over and over and over again.

You decide.

You know, he really looks like he did something naughty. But, he didn't -- he just helped me build yonder palace!

A few weeks ago, we went up into D.C. for a Japanese cultural festival. It was lame. But I got a nice picture!

TICKLE!

Sometimes, they read quietly. Not often, but sometimes. We love those sometimes.

We had a "Surprise, wake up the kids after only sleeping for 15 minutes and take them for ice cream!" party. Seanie enjoyed it.

We went to the National Zoo a few weeks ago. The rest of the pictures were ruined due to a thumbprint on the lens. But this once came nice!

A good time was had by all at the playground.

Yay for family snowball fights!
