Clip on?

You can see Neidon's pirate garb a little better in this picture.
It appears he is taking it fairly seriously.

I hope that earring is a clip on!

Tinker bell?

The scariest costume of all!

Did the phrase 'like giving candy to a baby' originate with Halloween? Probably not.

Ahoy Matey

This is a big year for pirates. Hand over your candy or be prepared to walk the plank!

Are those pirate clogs?

Spooky ..

Halloween is just around the corner. Many of you may have had Fall Festivals at your church or will be having one soon. I've got some of the best looking little folks in costumes to show you - so enjoy!

Her good looks

I'm still not sure who Kardia looks like yet.

I see a couple of folks in there.

But she sure is pretty!

Three heads better than one

Another big pow-wow and probably not the last!

Have a great week!

It's Sunday

Our church has its Fall Festival today and Western wear is the theme. Evidently Kardia's church doesn't have the same event today.

However you are dressed, may it glorify God and may you enjoy your worship service today.

Kardia is two months old

The new queen is now two months old. She's got her grandpa's double chin!

One big happy family

I need to have these kids fighting over my lap!

A budding artist

Kaireia is the family artist. She loves to draw and does a great job for her age.

The best thing I draw is flies! (You have to think about it a second - a joke, get it?)

A little younger

Here is an early photo of Kaireia with her umbrella she was using in Tuesday's photo. Thought you'd like to see how she has grown!

My little boat

Now don't tell me you never pretended as a kid! Kaireia is helping Neidon in his 'boat' as he rows up and down the floor.

As Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes says, "the days are just packed."

Staying dry

Well, the wet weather left as quick as it came - but it is somewhat cooler than before. Kaireia shows you how to battle the elements in style.

Swinger

Swinging is exhausting work!

Lots of rain early this morning as a cold front came through. Maybe Fall has come at last?

O sun and skies and clouds of June
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather;

A beautiful day

We're having wonderful weather here in San Antonio. Tonight is supposed to be around 50 degrees and tomorrow about 70 degrees - we'll see!

Here are my girls - Kaireia seems to be having a grand time.

Kairou Wyn Kleeman b10.15.03-d10.20.03

I'm out of town Friday evening and Saturday until late, so accept this as my Saturday post too.

I'm reading a book on Heaven by Randy Alcorn and he makes you wonder what it will be like when you get there. Of course, we assume almost as much as we know, and we bring in ill conceived tradition often more than we see what God's word has to say about heaven.

I hope it isn't terrible to say, but as much as I look forward to being in God's presence, I look forward to being with friends and family for eternity. Isn't God great!

This photo is of Reed holding Kairou. Now there is a head of hair!

Have a great weekend - more photos soon.

Markers are fun

Neidon got markers from Grandma Adams. Notice his new arm tattoos.

(I told her it was not a good idea)

Big brother

Neidon loves his little sister. He's ready for her to come play.

Little Kardia

Hey - there's a big world out there - this could be interesting!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Wow - four years old! I pray Kaireia has a wonderful birthday and many more.

Get up!

Yes, I know you want to sleep in. Yes, I know you're tired.
But we have to leave for church in 30 minutes so get going!

A Bonding Tip

"Brush a goat together."

This public announcement has been brought to you by the Brush a Goat Society. No goat was hurt in the making of this announcement.

'Tex' Hill dies

'Tex' Hill died this week. One of San Antonio's most famous figures out of World War II.

Check out this ARTICLE and this VIDEO CLIP.

If the NY Times adds an article, I'll add that later as well.

It's Friday once more

Do you look forward to the next moment so much you don't enjoy the moment at hand?

"Wherever you are, be all there." Philip James Elliot

All dressed up ...

That Kardia sure has some good looks!

He needs a grandpa to pick her up right now and love on her!

A new look

We forgot to tell you Rachel had her hair cut big time after Kardia was born - do you recognize her?

Sorry I'm behind with photos today - deadlines were weighing heavy on my mind!

15 projects on the board and they've all decided they want them NOW.

Kiss a baby day

Okay, so maybe it isn't the annual kiss-a-baby day. Neidon just likes his new sister.

Guess who?

An overcast day here in S.A. - We're supposed to get rain and cooler by the end of the week - we'll see!


Neidon and Kaireia are hiding from you.

Sunday - hurry up for church

Neidon dresses up right nice.

Have a great service today at church!

A fine Saturday

Good morning! The Miller's got to visit us when we were in Ohio. They look like they have their hands full!

Tiny bubbles

Bubbles are great fun!

That Kairiea is a real clothes horse!
(Check out the definition for yourself)

Look mom - Stickers!

Do you like your new sister Kaireia?

Sure, but look at these cool stickers!

Her name is Kardia.

Whatever, can you see I have a sticker on each finger!

Smell the flowers

Neidon thinks you are working too hard and you need to take time to smell the flowers!

It works for me - have a great day!

Lighten up already!

Good morning - I pray your week is going well.

Here are Neidon and Kaireia having some fun.

Monday morning

Okay, I'm up and dressed, all ready to go! I think I'll just lay here on the couch for a moment before I get going.
