These pictures come from Melissa's newnikon cool pix s3, a Mother's day gift from her really cool husband. We needed a second camera for spur of the moment photos. Our Cannon Digital Rebel is great, but makes Dave look like a tourist carrying it.

Grandpa and Grammy French came to visit us in Kansas the 2nd week in May. Unfortunately Tyler, Melissa and I were all sick for a good chunk of it. Ellie seemed to make it through fine. At least the grand parents got to spend lots of time with the kids :)

We did manage to make it out to the Johnson County Arboretum. The Spring flowers we in full bloom. Tyler and Ellie had lots of fun smelling the flowers & running in
the prarie grass.

Wrap up of Tyler's Soccer

Ty's last couple of soccer games this weekend - with two games today and one yesterday. Busy! You can see Tyler's team in the first photo, minus two kids who could make it. The team did great, finishing with 4 wins and only 2 losses. I know, we aren't suppose to keep score, but what are proud parent's to do?

I also included a couple of action shots of Tyler. He played really well in the first game, never wanted to come out. Photo 2 was taken just before he scored his first goal - YEAH! I would show you a picture of it, but unfortunately, I only got his legs. He also had a real nice assist and started a couple of fast breaks.

No more soccer games for this year. It looks like T-ball is next. Hopefully he will have the same coach and many of the same teammates. The kids sure had a lot of fun and got along very well

Couple of photos of the kids

Just a quick update - tomorrow's will be longer.
First picture is Eliana hamming it up. Do you think she knows how cute she is? Melissa didn't even have to get her to pose - Eliana just does this when the camera comes out. I think we are gonna be in trouble when she gets older.

Here's Tyler showing off the loss of his second tooth. His is still very excited to show his friends and teachers at school, but isn't telling complete strangers like he did with the first tooth.
