The Deck Project has Begun!

The wood is here. It's a beautiful fall day in Grand Rapid. Greg had the day off. I had the day off.

So what else was there to do but destroy our current deck and make room for the new one.

You'll notice in several pictures how ROTTEN the old deck was... literally it is by the grace of God that we never collapsed the thing. Anyway, the Flickr badge to the left of this post has the pics.... enjoy.

Liam and the Lost Tooth....

Yesterday morning Jenna and the kids were making breakfast, having fun with eggs and oatmeal. Liam slipped and came crahsing down on the counter. His front tooth was bent pretty far back. After a trip to the dentist, who by the way was a super lady, Liam has one less tooth.

He was brave. He was a trooper. He never cried, just watched Diego and Blue on the flat screen above him (don't you love pediactric dentistry in the 21st century!). He came home with a bag of toys and two new tooth brushes!

Hair Do's at Jenn's!

Here are some recent hair styles I have created for the kids at Jenn's place.

Liam--the Calvin (not as in Klein, but as in & Hobbes--where he uses Crisco to slick his hair to one side for school picture day)

Ellison--sweet purple pony puff














Addison--Dimple Do

liam and the airplane....

Liam likes to play airplane... all the windows are drawn and no lights can be put on because it's dark in airplanes. He's watching a video because you do that on airplanes....

He also brings everything that can be moved out of his room and piles it high - his luggage.
The pictures aren't great, but you can get the idea.

He wanted to do this at 7:30 this morning. At least he has an imagination, right?

oh, the joys...

We thought it was too quiet... we went on the hunt for elli...


we found her...


washing her hands (and hair apparently) with toothpaste....


Oh, the joys of parenting!

Addison Sitting UP!!

Take a look:

Classic Liam...

Liam looking all suave for his first day of school.... I had nothing to do with this outfit. He picked it out himself...

Labor Day Fun....

What do you on Labor Day? I've heard that you play horseshoes... I've never done this. Neither has Jenna... but this Labor Day, we cracked out the kiddy set, and well here's what happened:

Liam and the Cedarmont Kids....

Our kids love the Cedarmont Kids - Thank you Ben and Michelle for finding this "great" Christian children's group. Thanks to the grandparents for stocking our home with - count 'em - 7 DVDs. The Cedarmont Kids have infiltrated our home, and our kids are hooked on this group. If you've never heard or seen the Cedarmont Kids, you're really missing out. Just think of all your favorite Sunday School songs sung in various locations by kids wearing costumes, outfits from the 80's, or playing at playgrounds. The video below is Liam singing one of his favorites. Note: we did NOT set him up for this. This was his own idea. Enjoy!

BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

On Tuesday Jenna brought out the bouncy seat for Addison. She's having so much fun exploring life on two feet. A few more pics on the Flickr page (use the four-photo-link on the left side of the page).

Enjoy!!

My God is so Big!

My Aunt Linda is quite a trooper... here she is hosting a Sunday School sing-along with my kids and her daughter. I was lucky enough to have the camcorder handy and capture an old favorite "My God is so Big!" Take a look.

Family Resemblance?

what do you think?


my mom brought some picture of my father this weekend on their visit. i brought them all into photoshop and created a little comparison of my father and my son, liam....

so what do you think, is there a family resemblance?

Welcome!

Welcome to the scott family album...
