Big News for Andrew!

Do you notice something new about this handsome boy? Yes - Andrew has glasses! Here he is getting ready to go to school for the first time wearing them. I know I'm biased, but I think he's looking pretty cute!



I thought I'd add this funny photo too. A few days after the moose sighting, we went to get something out of the shed and found a big pile of moose poop. Funny thing is that Andrew was more than happy to clean it up. Who was I to argue?

A Moose!

We had a very exciting Tuesday morning at our house. We were all getting ready to go to work and school when I looked out the back window. I wasn't quite sure what I was seeing until it moved, and it was a MOOSE! Yes, a moose somehow wandered into our backyard. I'm not sure how long it had been there, but it was back in the trees eating our Oregon Grape bushes. It would walk under the trees and over by the swing set, look around and then go back to eating. Our neighbor thought it looked to be about 2-3 years old. After watching the moose for nearly 20 minutes, it walked out into the yard, up into the corner by our shed and hopped across the fence to the next yard. Andrew and Abigail were very, very excited and couldn't wait to share the news with anybody who would listen.





A couple of weeks ago I asked Andrew what kind of Valentine cards he wanted to give his friends this year at school. He informed me that he wanted to make all of his Valentines. I knew it would be a process and decided we better get started right away. Andrew finished them on Wednesday night and had a wonderful time handing them out at his party today. Andrew has such a big heart filled with love for all of his friends and teacher. He loves to be creative and each Valentine was personalized!




What are some of Abigail's favorite things? Choosing her own clothes and drinking "wot water chais" just like mommy. Notice she was also sporting another big bonk on her head!
