Say cheese!

on his day with Grandma Jane.

Thank you Caren and Timm for making us part of your special day!

Great Grandma's little sidekick

I'm glad to see my step-dad influence is starting to pay off! ;)

"he likes me; he just doesn't know it yet"

"I'm trying realllly hard to pretend like I don't like her"

Surprise... that's my lunch!

Smiling no matter what I am doing...

Baby Chopin

Wrong in so many ways...

As the older child, James has been proud that
he can spell and read -
and has sometimes used that to his advantage.

Noelle is in 4K this year

and has been working on spelling too.

Last night after a small sibling fight in the van,

James walked into the house and declared

"Noelle is so D-O-M-E."

To which Noelle responded,

"I know what that spells,

it spells dumb!"

James comeback,

"Yeah, well don't think you're so smart.

If you didn't know how to spell dumb -

you're dumb."

James had saved a little face, yet
Noelle was still smug with satisfaction.

As long as you think you are right...
that's all that really matters.
