September 2005

Includes pictures from Daniel's first and Margaret's fifth birthday parties.

Slip sliding away...

I THINK I can catch it.

It ain't the fountains in Grand Haven, but...

Margaret on her first day of Pre-K.

Just reading my monthly Sesame Street magazine.

Peek a Boo!!


The 33rd Annual Durant Polka Fest

Ohhh, listen to the music...

She ain't heavy, she's my mother.

Eli hangs out with Grandma Siems.

Eli and Shannon cut a rug.

Is that a polka or a Twist?

Grandpa and Caroline dance into the night.

Dad, did you have to wear that silly hat (from 1976).


Daniel's First Birthday!

Who seems to be having the most fun?

Digging for bones.

Daniel is never to young to play hillbilly tennis (aka Deuling Nuts-on-a-fence).

Someone push me!!

Three generations of Siems.

Katie and Patrick sitting in a fort

Put down the camera and PUSH!

Shelby with the birthday boy.

Wouldn't you like to know what I am up to?

Little monkey and the big ape?

Harder, faster!

Say cheese.

No, YOU say cheese!

How does this thing work?

Who's more excited?

Put down the card and let's open this puppy!

Why is this paper in the way?

Daniel and his "Republican" cake.

Katie comes out from the cake to Smack Uncle Ben.  It's an Elephant and is in no way meant as an endorsement of the Republican party!

Either way, it tastes GOOD!


Margaret's Fifth Birthday!

MMM, eclair cake!

Faster Caroline!

The birthday girl with Eli and Aunt Shannon.

How did grandma end up at the kid's table?

Eli - canine proctologist!

The other kids cover their backsides???

How many supervisors does this group need?

Ok, you push it down the hall while I make a break for it.

Look at us!

See you suckers!

Dora paper!

Dad fails to notice that Aunt Katie is breaking one of the cardinal rules - no makeup until you are 16!

I love it when they sing to me.

Margaret's "orange" party

Oranges, Quesadillas, candy corn, and orange cup cakes.  MMMMM

Come on. Hit me in the mouth!

Let's play dressup!
