Shhh...

It sure it tiring to shop at IKEA.
Tonight I asked Isaac if he wanted to say the bedtime prayer. Usually he declines and I say one ad lib. This time he said "sure" and tried reciting one he's heard in a few different versions.

Down you lay me, down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my child to keep,
The angels watch me the other night,
And Jesus will help me,
Amen. Posted by Picasa

Backyard Turkey

Here's that wild turkey that's been hanging around our neighborhood. That's not something you see wander through your yard everyday.

By the way, our trip to St. Louis last week was very nice, we just forgot to bring a camera. The kids had fun with their grandparents.

Noah is continuing to show a strong interest in talking, repeating back things he hears. Isaac is still taking steps toward reading, and his sentences sound more and more intelligent everyday. Posted by Picasa

Suzuki Conference 2006

We were very privliged to have the Suzuki Association of the Americas conference here in Minneapolis this weekend. While there, we completed a Suzuki Early Childhood Education training course which included a session with some young volunteers. Here is Isaac dancing with a scarf. I think he had a good time.

Having a ball

Here we are taking a little break during a trip to IKEA. Noah seems to have a particular interest in balls, so he expecially enjoyed the ball pit. Posted by Picasa

Cousins!

Last week, we had a special visit from the cousins from IL (and their mom). We had a great day together. First at Como Zoo (that's the famous Como turtle they're sitting on). Later we went to MOA for pizza and a couple "chocolate volcanoes" at the Rainforest Cafe and, of course, stopped to play with some legos! Posted by Picasa
