Mount Lemmon, Tucson AZ

During our visit to Tucson for Father's Day in June, we took everybody up to Mount Lemmon to escape the heat and survey the damage from the fires a few years ago. Emmett and Harrison thought the fallen, burnt trees were great fun to play with but Kirsten and Vanessa were saddened to see the mountain so desolate. There were signs of recovery and rebound, but it was so drastically different from when we had seen it last.

Still, it was a cool escape from the City heat and we all had a great time. Both boys napped well after all that fresh mountain air!

Happy Father's Day, Papa!

For Father's Day, we flew out to Tucson to see Vanessa's dad. It was a quick trip, but we were all happy to see each other and the boys had a great time with their Grandma and Papa. Also, we had two birthday parties during our visit. First, we went to our cousin Demetrius and Xander's house for Xander's 2nd birthday (the picture shows Demetrius and Emmett playing while Grandma and Great Grandpa Bill look on). Then Grandma and Papa threw Emmett his 3rd birthday party at their house(that's Emmett, Harrison and Demetrius drooling over the cake!). Lots of presents and cake, totally fun, over stimulating day!

moved back to the Cape house

In January 2006, we moved into a fancy historic house in Fort Myers. Long story short, it didn't work out, so on June 1st 2007 we sold that house and are now back in our nice little house in Cape Coral. I am honestly not sure how we survived last summer without a pool at the Fort Myers house. We are in the pool hours every day, the boys love it and have these great little tans :)
