Homework & Technology

Ok, so Joseph had to write out definitions to his vocabulary words - of course we couldn't find our hard copy of the dictionary so we used the computer/internet -- take a closer look at "tended"...we think there must have been an internet ad right close to the word!

Going Through Binders

I got to have a moment with Dustin this evening - I was going through his Koinonia binder and he took to helping sort and file the various papers :) He seemed to particularly enjoy looking at his and Ayden's birth certificate copies -- kinda cool for us to do it together :)

Swan Maiden

Today, the boys and I visited our local library. Dustin checked out "Marley and Me" and is waiting for "The Blind Side" to come in. Joseph chose a WWE book and "Stone Fox". Ayden was the 'winner' walking away with 7 books!

Ayden and I curled up on the couch and read several this afternoon. Apparently, according to him, I am a dead ringer for the Swan Maiden -- I don't really see the resemblance but since she was "so beautiful", I'll take the compliment where I can get it!!! :)

Christmas Tooth

On Christmas Eve, Ayden lost one of his bottom front teeth --- amazingly, the Tooth Fairy knew where to find him even though we were away from home. Maybe the Tooth Fairy hitched a ride with Santa on his busy night.

Christmas Day

Christmas day we headed over to Kip & Mandy's...another fun day with yummy food!!!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve day, Nicole and Mark opened their home and hearts for us to come visit and spend the night at their place. Nicole played wonderful hostess with lots of grace and style :)

Joseph and Dustin LOVED the pool table - we now have requests for us to own one :)

Opening Family Presents

Christmas Eve morning we had our small family celebration...nothing too fancy but amazing that God granted us the opportunity to have kids in our home...
