Monday, May 10, 2010. The calm before the storm. Woohoo, bring on the summer! Elizabeth gets a turn with Dean's storytelling. We're still in a big dress-up phase. Grace came over to join in the fun. Just another picture of dress-up! Elizabeth and Daddy take a cuddle break. Trying to fill their parents' shoes. Well, and you can always win Vanessa's heart with some grapes and strawberries! I mean, just look at those cute little toes! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Scherrer's Web Site.

The Maxted Family: August 2010
http://www.maxtedfamily.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. So, you might wonder what we've been spending the summer doing, apart from hanging out with friends and going to the pool. Well, when we're inside, we:. Rip apart Styrofoam packaging just for the fun and mess of it. Play Little Red Riding Hood, or Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, or Billy Goats Gruff. Well, Vanessa DID get to go on a very exciting adventure with her daddy and Nana. Her very first professional sports game - a Redskins preseason game! We've had some time to hang out wi...

The Maxted Family: September 2010
http://www.maxtedfamily.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Wow, 4 years old seems like more than a year older than 3, somehow. Vanessa is getting to be just such a little lady. We had the opportunity to spend her birthday with so many of our family and friends. The week before Vanessa's birthday, we were so lucky to have my sister Hannah come stay with us. She helped get our house more organized and helped the girls (and ME! Thanks to Hannah for providing so much great stuff. This was Vanessa's first party with several of her friends...

The Maxted Family: December 2009
http://www.maxtedfamily.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 22, 2009. I managed to post about Thanksgiving before Christmas is upon us! Thanksgiving was just as it should be this year, full of lots of friends and family. We even got an early start on Thanksgiving, celebrating with my Mom and Heather and Terry and Zak on the weekend just prior to Thanksgiving. Aunt Heather has many talents, but one of my favorites is making my girls laugh! Elizabeth loved playing peekaboo through Heather's hair. Peter and Evan are such little sweethearts. I was a...

Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Brian and Joanna's wedding. Haha, I managed to post pictures from Brian and Joanna's wedding in September before Halloween is upon us! The girls LOVED staying in the hotel in DC. Is this abstract art? No, just the girls being goofy in the hotel towels after a trip to the pool. The rehearsal dinner. Yummy bread and good company! Elizabeth is meeting James's Aunt Helen and a handful of Maxteds! Here's a picture of James with several other sophisticated gentlemen. Vanessa told u...

The Maxted Family: June 2010
http://www.maxtedfamily.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 19, 2010. Two weeks on the move. This week were are back in town after stops in Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. The girls had a little more trouble getting to sleep than usual because of all the excitement, but when they did sleep, they slept in a cuddly pile like a couple of puppies. Here are the girls sleeping in the hotel where James had his conference in Baltimore. But of course we went to the aquarium! These towers of bubbles are an endless source of wonder for them!

The Maxted Family: July 2010
http://www.maxtedfamily.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 16, 2010. We had a great trip to Colorado for a Kaylor family reunion. We were there for just about a week. We started the trip out on our own for the first day, and visited the Denver zoo. The girls check out a mongoose and porcupine exhibit (Elizabeth is in the background). Vanessa's favorite animal we saw were the polar bears. This polar bear had just been in the water, showing off a very nice back float. Elizabeth liked the lions best, and wanted to see them twice! I certainly wouldn't h...

The Maxted Family: February 2010
http://www.maxtedfamily.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Texas and the biggest snow ever. It's been quite a whirlwind of activity this month. We took a chance with some good deals on airfare to make it down to Texas to see Jake and our nieces. We made it there and back without any trouble due to snow, although some snow fell here while we were there. After we got back, of course, everything was buried in about three feet of snow! Here are the girls warming up for the game. I think Bryn made this basket in warm-up. Jadyn and Bryn d...

The Maxted Family: January 2012
http://www.maxtedfamily.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 10, 2012. Phew, almost caught up with the past 6 months of blogging. Next up is Halloween. Remember our home-grown pumpkin? Vanessa decided that she wanted to design a jack-o-lantern. So she drew the lines and I did the cutting. I think that was the right parent order there. She poses with her handiwork. That she wants to be a witch. Needless to say, we convinced that she could fly around the house as a witch for a bit, but that she should really wear the Rapunzel costume at night. After...

The Maxted Family: March 2013
http://www.maxtedfamily.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 24, 2013. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and some stage work. Almost caught up through the end of 2012. First off is some pictures of Vanessa and Elizabeth at Halloween. Vanessa went as a witch and Elizabeth as a fairy. I believe both were going as agents of good, not evil. At Thanksgiving we got both sets of my siblings and sibling-in-laws at my parents. Here Aunt Joanna reads to Elizabeth. Not to be outdone, Vanessa gets some Uncle Brian reading time. Not to be outdone by their mom, the girls h...
