First we will go back to the pictures that I was trying to post last week.
Auri has decided that it is fun to play with her big brother's keyboard, and she is pretty good at it. 
If I could put video on here I would, I recorded her dancing and singing to one of the demo tracks built into the keyboard. She plays with it every time we are at Kiki's house with Isaac. 
Oh, speaking of Isaac, here is a picture of Isaac and Jackson yellin out the window at a stray cat the Isaac has named Conner. They are funny, let me tell ya! Next is Aurora and her beautiful self looking cute in her Buckeye outfit.
I hope she isn't really a cheerleader, but she looks cute now. And now is Jackson looking all tough in his "Bob the Builder" hat (well, that's what he calls it). Silly boy. 
And finally from last weeks pictures is Isaiah's reading session with the girls. He has to read every day for homework, but sometimes he brings a book home that he just can't put down, and Karin decided to see what Esther-Faith (Essy) and Aurora (Auri) would do with him.
He just kept reading and they sat there. Poor boy!Now for the newer pictures. Karin, Tim, Mom and Myself along with all five children took a last minute trip to New York to see our 99 year old grandmother/great-grandmother/great-great-grandmother. Anyway, we drove up Saturday and went straight to the hotel.
Well, since it was Saturday we all had on our Buckeye clothes that we wear for every football game. We did the best we could to get all the kids together for a picture in their outfits, I think Karin probably has better pictures so you'll have to wait for them on her blog, but here is the best one that I have. 
Then after we did our little photo session, Mom and I took the boys and Auri to Grandma and Grandpa Thompson's so they could meet them. Sunday morning we went to G&G Thompson's for breakfast, hung out for a little and then went to see Great Grandma Anderson. All the pictures taken at the nursing hom
e were on Karin's camera, so if there are any good ones I'm sure Karin will post them. 
Then we went back to G&G's and had lunch. Grandma Kiki (my Aunt Karen) and my Cousin Katie stopped by,
then Cousin Tim and Jodi (that's what Jackson calls them) came by. 
We left sometime between one and two and headed home. We stopped in Erie, PA to take the boys to Presque Isle.
First we stopped at the Perry Monument. 
Then we stopped at the lighthouse where people still live.
Then we stopped at the 
(Black and White Lighthouse) 
North Pier lighthouse. Then we were back on the road. The last picture is from Monday when I was with Isaac and Jackson and Isaac about freaked out because he saw a big "spider" (as he called it) on the window. 
He held up his hands about he size of a volleyball and asked me to come kill it, well when I got there all it was was a preying mantis we talked about it and I told him that we never kill those. I hope you have enjoyed my pictures. Talk to you again soon!! Have a great day!! -Kristen

I'll get some photos up soon, Kristen. I love the ones of Auri in her outfit-- and I DO hope she is a cheerleader!
I'm not sure if you knew this, but Perry's monument is actually a memorial that replaced a really crappy wooden box that he was originally placed in. Someday I'll share the whole story with you.
Share now, Sam! I didn't know it was a replacement. Is there a place on the web where we can get the whole story? Isaiah loves history and mystery.
Maybe I'll post on it next week. He could probably just google his name and get some info.
Here's a little teaser....Perry was actually a pretty awesome general here in Ohio but got pretty ill and was on his way to New York when he died in Presque Isle. No one cared and so they just buried him in an unmarked grave.
