Ellie Influences the Kindergarten Play

Ellie got to go to Kindergarten with Ian. All the little kids loved to see the new baby. We all went on a walk to the American River and I carried Ellie in her sling (that I made, by the way, -super fun! I made one for everyone in the house, it was so much fun!). The teacher, Mrs Annie put Ellie to sleep and laid her in the play cradle. Boy, the little kindergartners loved that! Some of the girls were rocking her and gently petting her. For the rest of the week, the children were playing with the baby dolls and pretending they were carrying their babies in slings!

Such A Happy Baby!

Ian's Shinner

Ian recently forgot to remember his Mom telling him over and over not to climb on the outside of the tunnel-slide, and fell and got the biggest knot on his eye! I don't think he'll climb on the slide again, for a while, -or at least 'til his eye heals.

I'm on to this Flash Back Friday thing!

Two years ago we celebrated some of the many May birthdays at Disney Land. Isobel turned 6, Ian 4, Danika 3, Ruben 1 (April).

We also went camping with the Steenbliks on a warm summer's day. Little did we know during the night we entered the Twilight Zone! We woke-up to freezing temperatures and
snow all over our tents!

One last thing, my sister Molly started her Guide Dog training career in
2006 with Navarone!
