DO I TALK LOUDER WITH THESE ON?

Issac is Matt & Katie’s third child.

 He is eight and has a lot of energy.

Eight is a great age for teaching things to littler kids.

Iris adores him.

Sophia was the first baby I really got to know. She was born in 1999. Now she holds my baby.

Katie kneading bread.

No, I don’t know what Iris is putting in her mouth.

Recurring subject: people I love doing every-day things.

We rode the carousel at the museum,

got photographed in the town photo

(everyone is frowning because the sun was in our eyes),

hung with the big kids in the Norway spruce grove,

watched some sack races,

and generally acted cool.
