Pirate Face

We went to Chick-fil-A for dinner with the Vicks, Amber and Jason. Micah and Evan got their faces painted by a silly clown, who also made them swords. What's a pirate's favorite letter? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Easter 2010

Our weekend of Easter events started with the Easter Bonnet Parade at Micah's school on Thursday. He loved his silly Easter bonnet.

On Friday we attended the Easter Celebration as a family with our friends the Vicks. It included an egg hunt, inflatables for jumping, a petting zoo, spin art and sand art. The day was beautiful.

On Easter Sunday we took pictures in our yard. Our little buddy Thomas joined us, too. And later with our house church friends we had our own Easter egg hunt.

March 2010

March = warmer weather, time at the park with dear friends, Tabitha and Arianna, painting, and a new sandbox from Oma and Opa.

Cultural Events

In the last month, Micah has been to four cultural events - big firsts for him. He went with our friends the Pockruses and Katherine Vick to a ballet of Peter Pan. I was so surprised at how he asked so many questions about the sets and lighting. He tried hard to understand how the computers in the back could make the lights in the ceiling shine on the stage at just the right time and location. And the wires that the kids flew around on were also especially intriguing. We went to Ringling Brothers Three Ring Circus with our friends the Vicks. Micah liked the human cannons. He also talked about how things worked after this show, asking a lot of questions. We went to a family opera day (with the Vick and Pockrus families) and saw The Ugly Duckling. They also had an area to dress up in costumes and an instrument petting zoo. We got to take a tour through the costume shop. Micah blew in a trumpet and surprised himself and the volunteer that he could make noise with it! He also saw a play, The Wind in the Willows with Oma. There were quite a few funny parts that he tried to retell and then explain to me. I'm so grateful we have so many amazing opportunities with our kids to do these things and that Micah is engaged enough to sit a watch.

Tub Time

Sometimes it is just plain fun to get in the tub with two little sisters.

February 2010

February = dogpiling Daddy with a blue tongue from a lolly pop, reading stories, giving Hosanna the beloved Piglet and Lizzy to sleep with, and getting ready for the Valentine's party at school (rice crispie treats and homemade cards).

January 2010

January = playing in a little Georgia snow and fighting with a styrofoam sword and axe (It's a good way to get out our pent up aggression when stuck inside because it's winter. Thanks Target $1 bin!)
