Picture Highlights of 2007

Here are some of my favorite photos from 2007 I never got to blog (not including Christmas, I hope to get to that someday).

Sam is showing off his treasures that he made during the month of October in Kindergarten. Thanksgiving dinner--Meg had gotten her tonsils out the day before and didn't eat very much at dinner, just some mashed potatoes.

Halloween fun. . .carving pumpkins and getting ready to trick-or-treat.Sam kissing our pet turtle "Boxer." We had to let him go this day in October so that he could go back into the woods to hibernate. We're hoping that we can find him again next spring. Molly's Halloween costume was a Cinderella dress. She wears it almost every day. Rusty and Meg going to a Hoe-down for an Activity Days daddy daughter party.


We went to Philadelphia & Washington D.C. for fall break in October. The kids at the Liberty Bell and Arlington Cemetery.






Molly showing her baby the lake outside in Branson at Rusty' s Grandma's 80th birthday party. Rusty and the kids paying homage to the Rocky statue in Philadelphia.





Meg's ballet recital in May. Molly "enjoying" some Cotton candy at a swim team party.








Meg in her tap/jazz costume. Rusty and the boys at a swim team luau.







Ben's team, the Marlins, were the South Oldham Rookie Pitch champions last summer. This was his stance everytime he got on base. Ready to steal . . . .





Ben won a music competition called "Reflections" at the school, district and state levels. The song he wrote and played was called "Climbing 'Y' Mountain." I can down load it for anyone who is interested.






Molly's 2nd birthday party. She had a "Dora Pool Party" and Grandma Thompson sent her this cute swimsuit to wear. Molly and mom enjoying the pool.


Ben and Sam getting ready to swim in a meet. Meg, Ben and Sam holding up our swim division 3rd place trophy.
At the Green Bay Packer museum in July. Meg at the Arboretum in Chicago.


Sam in his St. Louis Cardinals t-ball uniform. The kids waiting for Rusty to come by on his bike during a triathlon.


This picture Ben took of us. It's one of my favorites.

What great pictures! It was fun to get a run down of your 2007 happenings all in one post. Meg looked beautiful in her dance costume, loved the family group shot on Halloween and the one of the boys with with arm around each other necks standing backwards was perfect. The one of you and Molly at the pool reminded me of all the fun summer days spent there sneaking in for a swim. Not toally honest, but fun nonetheless! Good time at the O'Brien home!
