This Week in Pictures

Kyle, the kids and I traveled across the mountains with Geoff, Jennifer and their new baby boy, Isaac Barclay last Wednesday. They flew in from Cleveland and we were excited to have them fresh off the plane - its always so exciting to have the 'out of towners' in town and not to mention, A BRAND NEW BABY. We came to spend our 'Berges Christmas' with the rest of my family: Mom and Dad, Hannah and Dave, Les and Emma (my younger brother and his wife and their 15 month old daughter.)

Emma Nicole Berges, 15 months old


Isaac Barclay Berges, 3 months old (aka, iBar)




With chunky highlights and 4 less inches on my hair, I feel new and fresh...


Katie's has yet to go a day without mentioning how much she 'misses her friends'...


Emma's bedhead


Just a little bit of drama makes the outing better - just love this pic, she's talking dramatically about something... I just don't remember.


Couldn't pass up the bright green water fountain in the middle of a greenless park (aka, field)... it was actually rather beautiful.



The kiddos at Columbia Park - walking toward the Waterfollies Hydroplane Statue. They had never seen a hydro before...


Picture taken for Grandpa Berges - he loves the hydro races and he loves his grandchildren even more.


**Coming up are a series of shots where Katie was trying to lift the boys' spirits. They had HAD IT with walking across open fields, looking into the sunshine, seeing Mom with a camera glued to her face; they were hungry, tired and beginning to get rather angry. They both decided to plop themselves down in the middle of the open field and exclaim, 'I'M NOT WALKING ANYMORE!' (or as Benjamin would say, 'guh guh guh GUUUUHHH!' with a high pitched scream and cry). It was so cute and priceless (not to mention I'm continuing to practice shooting in FULL SUN) that I had to take a picture - or two...







... more to come over the next couple of days.
