september...art is in the air

the kids letting their creative energy flow - maybe a response to baby #3:

nathan working on his mad dash of strokes

...puttin' on the final touches (pants optional)

Syd not willin' to be outdone by her brother...likes the controlled, broad strokes

...and her end product

nathan livin' the life of a misunderstood artist

cruisin' on his new bike

syd ridin' her new set of wheels...everything must be purple

september...the month of Syd

the month of September found Syd trying to discover who she really is...

...is she the intellectual?

...maybe the bridge between humans and unicorn?

...a magician?

...a punk?

...maybe a clone of "the mama"?

final decision..."a monkey's life is the life for me"

august...round 2

more fun in the month of august:

syd...never too shy for a candid

kids start dressin' themselves "crazy"

syd at the local "watering hole"

a little bribe never hurt anyone

more hugs for "paco junior", as syd likes to call herself

nathan hangin' at school

august...more good times

kids continue to be a blast and love spending time with each other. anything Nathan does, Syd follows and Nathan won't do anything without his lil' sis.
