Too Precious

I took these pictures before church a couple weeks ago. I just think they're all SO incredibly cute. I can see little peeks at each girl's VERY individual personality in each picture. As crazy as my mind is during this stage of life...I love my girls.

"Fake an Injury Day" with my class during Spirit Week. 16 kids here, one absent, and Ruth, my co-teacher. Lots of fun, great participation, and WE WON the pizza party!

Okay, so this is Halloween for me and Daniel. Great, isn't it? We went to a murder mystery dinner. It was a 50's high school reunion. Dan was the "bad boy" and I was the boring intellectual nerd. In the middle is Sherene Horton (whose husband didn't run to get in the picture before our defective timer on the camera went off). Next is Jess and Jamie, our next door neighbors. Far left is Matt Elmore (other nerd in the story) whose wife, Kelly (the slutty cheerleader) also did not make it before our timer took the pic. Lots of fun.

October

Happy Halloween! from our two princesses and our pumpkin.

Abby performed in Kindergarten chapel last month on the topic of kindness. Her part in the skit was being mean to the kid who was different. Then she and Gabe recited their line "Kindness is giving your dog food and water every day". She did great and had a lot of fun.

Lots of friends at Sydney's 1st birthday party! Ann with Madelyn, Jess holding Syd, and Wendy! Very important people in our lives.

Dan and me with a happy, one-year-old Sydney.

Yum, yum, yum! Mickey Mouse cake with "brown" icing. Well, I tried.

First day of school with our great friend and best babysitter, Becca.

Kaylee has a letter or the day at Eaglets and they often make a craft. "N" is for "nest". She is always VERY proud of her work.

Gabe and Abby on the elementary playground on the first day of school. They are so excited!

Don't really have a lot to say, but am going to post pictures. We've been through 1st day of school for me and Abby, Eaglets and staying with Pam'ma for Kaylee, and half-time with Mama Margaret and half-time with Pam'ma for Sydney. Syd is walking all over the place. She LOVES to play in the buckets of water in the bathroom (we're in water conservation mode), including the bucket of water commonly called the toilet! Things are getting busy, but we are all happy and so blessed.

SuperBowl

We had a fun time this past Saturday bowling at Village Market with Pam and Gary. The girls got to bowl for the first time a few weeks ago with my dad while he was here. They LOVED it, especially Kaylee. We had gutter guards when we went with dad and they helped ALL of us. =) Kaylee would trot up to the line and spread her feet and be ready to send that ball down the lane. It was super cute. This Saturday with Pam'ma and Grandpa was a little different. There were quite a few people there and the lane we were in did not have gutter guards. So, we had fun, but...our scores were a lot lower. =) I got a few pictures of the girls and of the crazy contraption that the place gave us in lieu of gutter guards!

End of Year Bash

So this post is a little late...but it's me, what do you expect? =) I was collecting pics from friends of our end of the school year event. The staff was treated to a very nice night out at the Muthaiga Country club for dinner and speeches and farewell performances. It was a fun time to dress up and hang out with friends. So, here are some pictures of our friends here.

This was our table for the evening. Left to right: Daniel and me, Paul Bedsole, Jeremy and Ann Greenwich, Tricia and Ed Berngen, Matt and Kelly Elmore, Jessica and Jamie Dunning (our neighbors).

Here are the girls. It's always fun to have an excuse to dress up, huh? Me, Ann, Tricia, Jess, Kelly.
