Thanksgiving at "Granma's"

The tryptophan began to kick in as they enjoyed another round of "Finding Nemo".

Of course I forgot my camera on Thanksgiving Day and missed out on some great pictures. One in particular, of Gracie stuffing her little mouth with Pumpkin Pie (that Granma made especially for her) would have been great. We had a wonderful time in Mt. Vernon with our family!!!

Kidney Update: The drain has been removed! We have a follow-up appointment in 3 more weeks. As for now, my wet diapers are twice the size they used to be since both of my kidneys are working! Yipeeee!!

What a Strong "Kid-ney"!

Here is our brave little boy before and after his kidney surgery.

Poor little guy knew something strange was about to happen.


During recovery. He couldn't have been any sweeter!


Nothing like a good nap on Daddy!


Sweet Eric, Geri, and Benny came to visit and lavished us with our favorite food(s) and the best DVD in the world... CARS!


After a yummy purple popsicle! Hooray, it's over!!

Fun times...

We are pretty proud of our little girl who has begun to read, write, and learn letters! Here she is after she proudly wrote her middle name "Ila"!


Making sugar cookies at 6:30 in the morning! What else is there to do at that time of the day?? NOT sleep!!


Reading a book before they get dressed.

So You Think YOU Can Dance...

Leaving the Nest...

We decided to take our baby eaglets out of the nest for the day. It was time to teach them how to build their own nest and fly on their own.


We all ventured out into the beautiful forest.


The oldest eaglet, Gracie, was very excited about the possibilty of building her very own nest full of pretty fall colored leaves!


She was feeling so energetic and confident, she attempted to fly off a very high rock!


After a few unsuccessful attempts at flying, the baby eaglets "eagerly" scoped out a new place for their nest.


All of these activities made the eaglets very tired and hungry so they stopped for a snack. Incase you didn't know, Cheez-its and Cheese Popcorn are favorites among the eaglets.



The Mommy Robinson eagle and the Daddy Cope eagle had to help the eaglets along the way...







Eagles are very affectionate creatures.



Atlast, the baby eaglet takes flight!

I'm Smellin' Me Some Cornbread!!

I was really, really hungry but Mommy told me I had to wait to eat my dinner. When there is fresh, warm cornbread on the counter, why not just help yourself, even when you know you shouldn't??

My plan to get off the counter was foiled when I got stuck getting down and that is when Mommy busted me! I decided to give her the classic "I love you Mommy!" million dollar smile so I wouldn't get into trouble!!
