A typical afternoon for the Smith family

Our family time each day is from about 4:00 - 6:00pm. Matt gets home from work and we take the dogs out for a walk. It is good exercise for us all and Steven gets to burn energy before bed. This time is so special to me because it is time when we are together as a family and we aren't worrying about work, the messy house, chores, school, or the ringing phone. Matt and I get to talk while Steven yells at the dogs from his stroller. After our typical loop around the neighborhood, we stop in an open space and let Steven and the dogs run wild!



Wojo and Percy are getting better at catching the frisbee. It is hilarious when they both pick it up and carry it back to Matt together!


Wojo always lasts longer than Percy. She tires easily... what a wimp! :-)


Steven loves playing with the dogs. The way he says their names is adorable! He calls Wojo "woh-woh" and Percy is "see-see."


I love this picture of my little man. Doesn't he look like he is striking a pose?
I can't get him to look at the camera very often - I can't keep his attention long enough to hit the button - but when he focuses, I get great pictures.

I don't know what we are going to do when the weather gets cold... probably bundle up because none of us want to lose this fun family time!
