Today we mourn the loss of Barb Newman who passed away suddenly July 17, 2009.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kowalczyk, Giroux and Newman families.

Awe!!!

Tomorrow, July 9, 2009, we need to return our VW Beetle to the dealer. The one year lease is up. When we first got it, we put Aryana in the trunk and took her picture, so here she is one year later! This time she didn't want to sit!!!

I think Collin is a Natural!

This is for you Debbie! You really need to get on facebook!

We were playing with some of our new photo props today! The kids seemed to enjoy it!

Heather and I were commenting on how much Aryana looks like Aunt Michelle! This was all done in fun!!! Love you Michelle!!!

*****************************************************************************************

Aryana appears to be really happy to see Frank!

This card made me "Laugh Out Loud"!!! Love you Michelle!!!

My sisters and I had a nice visit with Mom on her Day!!! Love you Mom!!!

The Tulips were beautiful when we went to the 2009 Holland Tulip Festival!

Aryana was playing in my flower pots and got her hands dirty. So she runs over to Grandpa Bruce for a quick clean-up!!!

While crocheting the mane for the stick horses, we realized the hair looked amazingly like Kristina's baby doll "Dondie"! So of course, another photo opp!!! Collin is looking quite professional!! And Frank as always likes to play along!!!

So Beautiful!

We had an awesome pool party for Barron's 5th birthday!!!

Kayla, Blake and Barron obviously enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt they had at Aunt Courtney's house this year!

Aryana must have found out we are planning a trip to the Holland Tulip Festival. I guess she wants to go!!!

Aryana picks up a book to read before bed!!!

Kristina and I made a paper cut-out of Optimus Prime for Collin! It is only about 5 inches tall and very delicate!!! Good times!!!

Yesterday, Kristina, Collin and Nathan colored Easter eggs. Kristina didn't realize that the kids shouldn't put their hands in the dye ... it took her forever to get the dye off their hands!!! She did take some cute pictures though!!!
