December

December has been a busy month. Elisabeth was in a play "How To Eat Like a Child" and did a fabulous job! It was a lot of work, but she loved it. Ethan earned a yellow stripe in karate and was very excited about that. Elisabeth had a huge school project that was due right after her play ended. We also took a quick weekend trip to NYC to see the lights and sights of Christmas in New York. That on top of all the other school stuff, piano recitals, getting ready for Christmas and sports made for a very crazy December. More pictures will come after Christmas.

A little quiet playing time before bed. I love it when they play so well together. Harrison's the blue blur in the background. He doesn't know how to sit still unless he's sleeping.

Right after her play.

The cast was of kids in grades 2-4 from different towns.

Elisabeth took this picture. Ethan is at the far right.

Elisabeth's project was on the Hopi. The third grade spent the last month or so researching about a Native American tribe and then they built a model of their house among other things.

Santa made a quick trip to Harrison's preschool class.

Some Cute Pictures

Man and his fascination with fire.

We put a helmet on Harrison for everything: riding his bike, playing baseball, rollerskating and LEGOs.

First Day of School Part 2

Andrew and Harrison's first day of school was on Wednesday. Andrew is now in kindergarten.

Andrew is waiting for the bus.

Harrison started preschool.

Harrison ran right to the Lego table right away. He watched Ethan and Andrew play with it when they were in preschool and was so excited that it is his turn now.
