Getting to know you

Trying out the bumbo! Zek seems to be enjoying it!

Trinity obviously has a love for music! She fits in quite well here!!! She decided to give me her serious look since playing the piano well is serious business.

The weather is FINALLY gorgeous here! The kids have been outside tons and were even able to get the hose out since it was warm enough.

Bedtime - finally. My son, Caleb, is the one to blame for a crazy bedtime routine. He's always had problems going to bed early, so this will probably be our biggest challenge getting him and Trinity to bed. Zek however, is AMAZING! He goes to sleep well and stays asleep even better - such a blessing! Here is a pic of Caleb and Zek resting peacefully. I tried to get Izzy (our dog) in the pic too, but since she is black and the lighting wasn't very good, she wasn't showing up well, but she was sleeping right in front of Zek's spot - all three of them looked so cute!

Trinity joined us for Sunday school, sang with the kids at church, and here Caleb and Trinity are at the Children's sermon. Her favorite part though - the cake afterwards to celebrate our confirmands.

No time in Strawberry Point is complete until you've had your picture with the World's Largest Strawberry!

Exciting stuff eh?

These two sure do have a good time together!

Trinity insisted that smiling wasn't enough - they also had to look like monkeys.

Zek wasn't so sure about the strawberry - but he sure did enjoy the walk outside!



So, that is a little glimpse into our weekend.
Tomorrow Trinity goes to school at Starmont! Mrs. Barclay will be her teacher, and I will be on the other side of the building teaching the "older kids". Trinity is excited about recess and music.
Zek gets to go to daycare with Caleb of which Caleb is THRILLED about!
