The Strawberry Festival in Owego was today and it was a WASHOUT! It poured so Emily and the kids didn't go to the parade. Andy drove the tractor for the float and we all met up later for some good junkfood for lunch! Levi got a tattoo of a croccodile (our church's VBS theme this year is "Croccodile Dock") The girls putting it on his face are in my Sunday School class.

Roger dressed up for the parade. Here he is by the Ranch's booth/tee pee

Rainy, but pretty.

Sadie stayed dry and Levi just got wet on his legs, or when he leaned out of the stroller.

The youth group's senior banquet was Saturday. This is just before we left so Andy had lost his tie already (for the skit he was in.)

The skit was ridiculous! Four men played ChinKin characters of the 4 graduating boys. We couldn't stop laughing!

Here is Andy playing Morgan-thosse are Levi's baby shoes he is wearing too :-)

Nana and Papa's visit was fruitful for Levi. They brought along this wonderful noisy truck for him to play with. :-)Last weekend Levi was watching some Sunday afternoon baseball with Andy and he began to swing a toy spatula like a bat. I decided it was time to get the kid a tee ball set. Papa said he is a natural and has nice form. You will notice a scratch on his chin. This is from an accident at the Big Dipper (ice cream joint) where he fell off a swing.

This is my favorite picture- it looks like he is practicing his golf swing- look at that follow through and weight shifting to his left foot! Atta boy!

Levi's first dip in the pool this year. You can see from his face that he is unsure of it, and that it is VERY cold!

We walked along with the Ranch's float in the Apalachin Fireman's Field Days Parade. It was a lot of fun (and good free advertising for the Ranch :-) )

Zane wanted to drive the tractor!

The girls on the float.

Memorial Day Weekend

The Family at the Crane's Memorial Day Picnic Levi and Mommy at Mr. and Mrs. David and Sarah Bacon's Wedding

Apalachin's Funniest Home Videos

OK, so these may not be the funniest videos, but they sure are cute! Sadie is getting so fast lately!

Sadie has the silliest wave!

Levi has been learning some songs but doens't really sing yet. It is so cute when he begs to sing. His favorites are "Shine" (aka This Little Light of Mine) and "Zaccheus" but those were too long to post here.

Together

I was trying to get some good pictures of the kids together tonight. Levi was actually very cooperative and kept pulling Sadie back on his lap even when she tried to crawl away!

Spring has Arrived

Sadie meets a Saltine. Andy and his gal.

We had to capture this on film: Levi eating Big Dipper ice cream. It was much less messy than last year!
