Let the education begin...

Micah has begun Hosanna's education about superheros. He decided he should start early with her and Spiderman was the topic of this lesson.

Micah meets Hosanna

Micah met Hosanna for the first time on Tuesday. She was born on Sunday, the 11th. Micah was so disappointed that he wasn't allowed to visit at the hospital (due to the Swine Flu). He remembers visiting us in the hospital when Elisha was born. He was looking forward to playing with the hospital bed...bummer! He has been so sweet to Hosanna, hugging, kissing and talking to her.

Above: This is moments after he saw Hosanna for the first time.

New Bunkbed

At the beginning of September, Heather and Eric moved out and our new house mate, Amber moved in. Micah and Elisha moved into a bigger bedroom. Since this move, we've been talking about getting Micah and Elisha a bunk bed. Britt, Micah and I put it together this past weekend. He gets to sleep on the top bunk, big 4 year old boy that he is.

Micah's school party

Daddy, Nana and I got to visit Micah's class at school and bring cake to share with his classmates. He made a specific request for a cake with Lightning McQueen and Doc driving on a road.

Micah's birthday party with friends

For his birthday Micah chose to take Ethan and Evan to Chuck E. Cheese. Pizza, cupcakes, presents, video games, rings that flash and time with friends - what more could a 4 year old want?!?our new housemate Amber, Ethan and his daddy Adam

the little guy in the middle is Evan

Micah's family birthday party

Oma couldn't be with us, but she made Micah some capes - they were a big hit!

Micah and Nana looked through baking books until they found what Micah wanted for his birthday cake. He called it "special food cake". It was a lemon cake with berries and whipped cream. He loved it!

First Day of School 2009

Micah is attending preschool 2 days a week again this year. He was very excited about his first day and has loved it every day since. He picked out the Spiderman lunch bag and the sports buttons for his school bag. He helps drop Elisha off at her class and often initiates holding her hand all the way.

Baseball Game #3

Baseball game #1 was a complete disaster. Micah was 2 and totally freaked out upon entering the stadium. It was too big, too loud, too many people, etc... Baseball game #2 was just with Daddy and there is unfortunately no documentation. Baseball game #3 was a home run. Britt's company picnic was at a Gwinnett Braves game. We went as a family and ate hotdogs, chips, cookies, soda and watched the game. Micah understood a lot of what was happening and asked all sorts of questions. We made it to about the 6th inning and headed home happy.

It's not easy taking pictures of oneself - at least not for me.

Bowling

All of our house residents went on an outing - bowling! It was so much fun watching Micah strategize about how to knock down the pins with his ball. He also enjoyed the funny shoes, Sprite and popcorn.

Family Cabin Time

The highlights of the cabin this year for Micah were the Thomas exhibit and time with his "best buddy" and cousin Jeremiah.
