Remembering Brian Schrader..

I learned yesterday that a friend of mine from High School was killed in Iraq. Please keep him, his wife, and his sweet children, as well as all the soldiers in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you Brian for your service!

Photos From the Past Few Years

Just a few things I put together, having a little fun.

Under the Table and Playing

Ace and AK actually play together pretty well...most of the time.

Ace Reads a Book With Greasy Hair

Ace got some cookies in his hair, so I got them out with a wipe. Didn't work like I thought it would, but he loves that book.

Some Pics From Today

We're having another great day up here in Maine. Here are some pics from this morning.

Ace Listens to White Lion

Ace loves those earphones. Check out those moves.

Ace and His Ears

Ace points to his ears.

Uncle Ben's Nightcap

Uncle Ben brought over a few beverages to watch Game 7 of the Bruins/Habs playoff series. I guess he wants to stay up all night. You can tell by Ansley's thumb that she approves.

From Today

Ace Outside

We're actually having a string of great days up here in Maine. Highs in the 70's, so we're outside trying to enjoy it while it lasts.

Ace and AK Playing Together Part 1

Took this footage on April 17, 2008.

Dude's Crazy

There's no other way to put it, he's a nutjob.

AK Playing With Some Old Dolls

AK gets to play with some dolls that Banana and Mamma used to play with. The video is quite long.

This Morning

AK pushed Ace around the kitchen on his fire truck.

Easter Pics...

I know these are late, but here they are. AK and Gammie made pink heart cupcakes for everyone and they did a great job. They were delicious. We had a delicious dinner at Aunt Jo's and Uncle Ben's house. It was also fun playing with Axel.

Ace and His Hair Bow

AK is Home Sick

She had a pretty rough night last night. Lots of coughing and a little puking. So I'm (Brent) at home with her today. I thought when I'm sick, I love to eat ice cream. Actually, I love to eat ice cream anytime, but I thought a little ice cream on the couch in front of the TV might help. Hope Jamie doesn't get too mad.

Ace Likes White Lion

You remember the eighties hair band, White Lion? Yeah, I hardly do either, but Ace really likes them. Here is is rocking out to Little Fighter. When it first came on, he went crazy. Of course by the time I got the camera his enthusiasm had fizzled.

AK and Ace at the Park

AK and Ace still feel like crap, but we thought it'd be a good idea if they got some fresh air. Maybe break up the crud a little. The weather was about as good as it gets for Maine in early April. For the folks in Alabama, you'll notice the dirt-speckled snow that covers half the playing area. We envy you guys at this time of year.

Kids Are Sick

Just hanging out today.

Ace Shirtless

We're liking this new look for the summer.

AK trying to sing to Flo Rida's LOW

Yeah, we suck at the parenting thing.

Ace Dancing to Flo Rida's LOW

Yeah, I know. We're bad parents.

AK and Ace at the door

It's finally getting warm enough outside that the kids could get a taste of outside.
