Ice Skating

Elizabeth wanted to iceskate for her birthday so that is what we did yesterday morning. The kids all did great, in part, I think, due to so much practice on the rollerskates Grandma and Grandpa gave them two Christmases ago.

Ers 11th bithday

She had a great day of gifts, phone calls and singing. She and Annabel did blind makeovers and watched some Harry Potter 5. Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Paul's baseball photo

Rest break

At the pool. Geez they're getting big.

Paddle boating surprise

I took Paul and his cousin Calvin on a ride this a.m. and check out the bald we saw in the nearby tree! Also note Paul's relaxed paddling position in the last photo :)

New glasses frames

Paul has already had three trips back to get his Harry Potter frames adjusted (from rough play) and they finally broke. So we opted for these sturdier frames...we shall see.

Haircuts

Kate stayed on trend and got bangs, ers did layers and Hannah got some side bangs. Success all around! (
Hannah wouldnt stay still long enough for a picture)
