Boys' Work

The boys have found a new love of building. They build with Lego, Lincoln Logs, and most recently have added Jenga blocks. One afternoon we went up to see what they'd built and they showed us the "Jungle Supply" store, complete with fitting room for warriors to try on their armor to make sure of the proper fit before purchasing it. The monkey is the owner and clerk.




The fitting room is the room off to the top left.


This is a pet shop which carries the ordinary pet and also the unsusual (that's a crocodile off to the right there).

The biggest fun has been Luke's two front teeth falling out. Luke waits until the absolute last moment before pulling his teeth. His first he lost eating a corndog at Uncle Robbie and Aunt Angela's (back in March); the second fell out at church. He's very pleased to be growing new adult teeth.

Happy Birthday P!

Sunday our baby girl turned TWO! It's amazing how quickly she's turned into a little girl and left infancy behind. Having three older brothers and determination not to be left behind plays a huge part no doubt. But still it's hard to believe she's reached official toddlerhood.

She had panda cupcakes and two lit candles (though her oldest brother advised against letting the "two-year-old play with fire").

Mmmm. Nothing like CAKE!

After supper and the boys' bedtime, P,having napped late, got to go to the park and "wing" and "fwide" with Daddy. Her tennis shoes were soaked from a wade in the water-filled sandbox so she went off in her pink cowboy boots and the cowboy hat from Gramma and Pa.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR BIG GIRL! LOVE.
