Oliver started this by signing up for Junior Ranger at a National Park in Colorado. Now all three are Junior Rangers.

In my opinion, Caleb looked more comfortable in the second picture taken at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I think hard as a rock wins here.

We've had a couple of days of thunder storms and I've neglected to post here. But tonight it is clear and supposedly we'll have a very nice day tomorrow. This is a layout with Julia and Oliver. While they were here in July, they hiked through a part of the Cuyahoga Valley national Park...Both of them , plus their older brother Caleb are getting their ranger badges at National Parks this year.

It won't be long now until we will have another great grandchild. Lauren is the pregnant lady here. This is her philosophy.

It's impossible for me to take Maggie in the car now when I have to get out and leave her in it. She loves to go! Soon it will be cool enough to leave her in the car for short times. She does well with all her hair to keep her warm.

I'm now trying to catch up with layouts from July. I have LOTS of pictures and am so excited. Just wish I worked faster than I do now. I enjoy the process, but I really enjoy reviewing the books I've made, so I want to do all I can without missing anything. By the way, Julia is holding the book she had been reading to us.
