Rachel pulled a funny one tonight. During dinner I bribed the kids with Oreos to finish their last bites of Taco Soup without too much hassle (we always tell them that the "black beans will make them run faster" and that "Aunt Nettie and Uncle Jeff eat this soup"...but nothing gets it down like cookies).How to get the look: put Oreos on your eyes and when you take them off: presto, chango! you've got Oreo freckles!
Eliza at the piano. She started lessons last week and loves to practice every day after breakfast. Notice all of her bandaids? She is a mosquito MAGNET and bandaids are the only way to stop from scratching. We're going through a lot of them these days...
We're loving the fact that all 3 kids can play games together! On Sunday mornings you'll find them with UNO, Connect Four or Guess Who? totally independent from James and I. What a spot to be at (for now!).
Eliza taught herself how to ride a 2-wheeler! It's taken quite a lot of practice, but she's a pro now. A tip from a friend that helped us: take off the training wheels of a smaller bike and practice with that until you have it down! Then, you'll be closer to the ground and balancing is easier. Moving to the larger bike isn't so intimidating then.
Finally, our cat Faith. She's almost a year old and is still with us! Amazing. Every time I go to download pictures, there are maybe 10-15 pictures of Faith that some budding photographers in the family have taken. Here's one that's actually clear!
