Late December

JIJ celebrated his 9th birthday.

He got some cash.

And some presents.

He even enjoyed a soccer party with his friends.

The boys got new pajamas on Christmas Eve and lots of other stuff the next day.

Alexa got her first doll for Christmas.

She enjoyed more fresh pears -- one of her favorites.

She learned to pull her self up and is getting much more venturesome.

Early December

A few joys of the Christmas season.


At least the weather was nice for a little bit.

Alexa was afraid of the tree. She was curious and even reached out, but never actually touched or took anything off. We probably won't be so lucky next year.

Pine Wood Derby 2008

We'd like to share the highlights from last year's Pine Wood Derby where Zac and Josh both participated. One of the boy's father shot and edited this 10 minute clip of highlights. Josh came in 3rd place. Congrats Josh!
