Sleepy Miriam

This is from one of our last trips anywhere as a family in our little Honda Civic. Being so crowded in makes it hard for anyone to take a nap... especially when everybody is laughing at you.

KCMO - YIPPEE!!!

"Why Jason, is that a shuttlecock coming out of your head?"

"Why yes, yes it is. I hear all of the cool people are into the shuttlecock. It is the new fohawk... the new black."

We had the chance (with many thanks to our parents!!!) to visit Kansas City last week - WITHOUT KIDS. It was awesome to say the least. We did what we wanted when we wanted, we slept late (well, 7:30), went to museums, saw a King Richard III, watched a lot of world cup soccer in fun places, and when all was said and done we really missed our kids. Ain't it the truth. Oh, but it was a breath of fresh air.

Swagger Wagon

Well the Abbotts have finally gone and done it. Yes, in expectation of our 4th child, we have purchased our very own Swagger Wagon. For those who have not seen the video for the Toyota Sienna, you should take 3 minutes and enjoy. Any family with kids will relate to this hilarious video about what it is like to be parents with a minivan. Here is the link. Enjoy!!!

Cousins

I know there might have been better pictures taken of this pose that day, but this one is really a winner in my mind. Esther and Henry seem to have a little joke going on, and maybe Josiah is in on it... When all of the Neuenswander cousins are together, they are a blast and truly a force to be reckoned with.
