Top a Ramen




Hannah Jane has been very influential over her brother lately. Her favorite food (top ramen) is now his personal favorite. Thank goodness, because just like her, he is a very picky eater. If he loves something one day, it doesn't mean he will the next. But noodles are enduring for both of them.

stairs


I have discovered the stairs. Not only does everyone jump up to "save me", but I can go fast and they will all follow me. Little do they know that I can go down them without trouble, but, if I fall, they pay more attention to me. So now I can use it to my advantage. If only they knew.....

PIANO RECITAL
Madeline and Lilly had their first piano recital. They both memorized their pieces and didn't even mess up. Madeline was so relieved to be finished, but Lilly remained calm, cool & collected.

ZOO

MY LITTLE MONKEY

Everett loves to learn, especially his letters and about animals. Here at the zoo in his bathing suit, he is waiting patiently while his friend buys a ticket to get in. He climbs the minkey bars and runs "real fast" and jumps the stairs. And we haven't even been to the monkey exhibit yet.

RIVERBANK at the ZOO
Gabriel had his first experience with he riverbank and loved it. We wen to the zoo and pe the goats and watched a cranky crocodile. Then we went to the river and fell in love with sand!

BEST BIG BROTHER EVER
Everett plays for hours with
his younger brother. He has
taught him how to say ball and
how to pass the ball. GW wants
to be just like his brother. He
has even tried to play baseball
(EJ's current favorie sport).


JAM MAKING
After buying flats of raspberries and blackberries, we set to making up freezer jam. Madeline and Lilly waned to learn how it was done. We filled up 25 jars on their first attempt. Daddy is happy because he eats it like candy by the spoonful.
