A Year in Pictures – 2007

Here are some pictures to sum up the year. We had lots of fun, most of which didn’t make it to the blog.

There are a lot of photos in this post, so if you have dial-up, go get a cup of tea while this page loads, then come back and view them.

First, pictures of the 2 handsome boys – Spragoon:


& Adidas:

a ninja playing the flute (this is a CANDID shot, taken through the screen door):


All the 4th grade classes make a cake in the shape of NJ. 3 years ago, Spragoon’s class did it by counties – he had Mercer. This year, Adidas’s class did it by regions. This is looking from the north. Hershey’s kisses are the mountains in Sussex county – pretzel sticks are the pines in the Pine Barrens:


Adidas at a soccer game:

Some pictures of birds (taken by Adidas):

1 – Chickadee


2 – House Finch


3 – Gold Finch

Washington DC trip:

3 – A visit to a Smithsonian Gift Shop (of course):

Dad’s birthday. He was holding the cake backwards so that we would think he is 58, but we weren’t fooled!
