more pics just for fun

The Curtis family (Catherine's older sister) at Smith Rock in Oregon. Scott, Leslie, Spencer, Mitchell and Paige. We all decided to hike... in August...at 2 in the afternoon...with small kids...in 95 degree weather! Next time we'll try it first thing in the morning. Sweet Madeleine. She picks the most interesting times to suck her thumb; like just before going down the slide.
One of the few shots we have of both girls this summer. Yes, imagine herding cats. Keeps a parent real busy!
Gene resting at the playground. A short-lived, peaceful moment.
Madeleine in the big pool!
