Andrew's first field trip

We went to the Linder Farms with Andrew's kindergarten class. We had a great time on the hay ride, going through the corn maze and picking out pumpkins!

Ta Da!

Andrew was so proud of this amazing crayon creation, that we had

to take pictures. But really, it is quite spectacular.

Kid's Race 2010

This is our second year running in the kid's race. It's a 1 mile race and at the end each participant gets a medal. Last year, Natalia piggy- backed at least half of it, this year she did the whole thing by herself, with at least half of it running! Andrew did great too!

Apple juice and Magic Wands

So, we had the missionaries over for dinner last night. Mid meal, Natalia looked over at me (sitting next to me) to show me her cheeks were full to capacity of apple juice. She, like many 3 year olds tends to believe this is a wonderful accomplishment. Then she started to choke, nothing big or life threatening, but enough to cause her shoot her entire mouthful of juice out in a straight line, of course onto me, (since she was still looking right at me). So, we cleaned ourselves off and Natalia changed into her p.j.s. A short while later, she announced she needed to use the bathroom. After a few minutes she came out... having used her time very efficiently to do her hair. However, it was her facial expression that topped off her performance of the night. She came out waving her 'wand' with a look on her face saying, 'I know that you all must being thinking I'm beautiful!!!- and yes, I'll graciously accept your praise'! Yup- that's our girl!
