Snapshots

Jason- traveling a lot, working a lot, playing a lot, building a little (bu-bye TV!).  

Also teaching life skills when possible.

Melanie- running a little, Relief Society-ing a lot, crafting a little, loving my days at home. 

 

Leah- directing plays, always crafting, playing with friends, learning life lessons, stretching in new ways (it's her first year in the Des Moines Youth Symphony!).  Growing like a weed- she doesn't fit under my chin anymore.

Adam- excellent piano practicer, lover of all things school, learning to cook, sweet big brother and goofy little brother.  Deliberate and thoughtful.  Occasionally sleeps in our bed.

 (It didn't hurt)

Emma- still prefers nightgown, has discovered The Boxcar Children, fairweather fan of preschool.  Always, always making us laugh.

Noah- refuses to be called a baby ("I'm a big kid!"), loves trains, SkippyJon Jones, Little Einsteins, and every book he can get his hands on, pretty much everyone's favorite little flufferkins ever.
