I like to call this one "incentive"-



And this one is called "focus"-



Sunday Morning

I love seeing my kiddos reading together ...

Jonah's Birthday

Jonah turned 4! Since Jonah's birthday fell midweek we celebrated it on the Sunday before- movies, lunch, a hike, and some ice cream. For the big day itself, Jonah spent the day with Ba-chan, followed by dinner, presents, and cupcakes.

Breakfast in bed

For Mother's Day the kids and Erik made me a breakfast of French Toast, berries, and cream and they hand delivered it to me in bed. With the kids helping it made the job take twice as long, but a million times more special. We finished the day off with a Mother's Day dinner with Erik's family.





Toothless

Cairo lost her first tooth a week ago Saturday. She was super excited for the tooth fairy (who brought her $1). Her new tooth is making its way in already and I will be setting up an appointment with the orthodontist soon. For such a small mouth she has big teeth, a loud voice, and is constantly talking :o)

We're Back!

Life has been busy. We are slowly adjusting into our new life up here in Humboldt. Blogging has been the least of my worries over the past year... But I love looking back on my kids growing up, so I am going to try this blog thing out again !

Recitals

The first Sunday of November was a bust day for Cairo.  It marked the last weekend of an eight week Musical Theater class she was taking.  The class ends each term with a recital where the kids get to show off the number they have been working on.  This 1:00 recital was directly followed up by Cairo's 3:00 piano recital.

As you can see from the videos, Cairo was pretty bashful in front of the crowds.  The same numbers she confidently danced, sang, and played in front of us for weeks, she stumbled her way through with the larger audience.  Don't let that fool you, she LOVES the singing, dancing, and music and practices for us constantly :o)  For her first time around, I was pretty impressed that she didn't just stand completely still and just stare at everyone.
