Katie loses another tooth ... Sep. 15, 2008

OK, this will be the last post probably of Katie losing a tooth, as basically she doesn't have many left. She was eating an apple which loosened it even further and then Heather yanked it out.

Ryan's Blessing ... Sep 7, 2008

We blessed Ryan on September 7 in Budapest. We invited the Birnbaum's (Jason, Laura, AJ, Sam, and Jack) and the Clarke's (Peter, Mary, Liam, and Aiden) to attend, good friends of ours from Budapest. We waited until Summer was over and everyone was back from vacation, so it seemed strange holding an almost 20 lb. baby vs. a newborn. But Ryan did great and it was a fantastic experience. Thanks Kym and Mark for the blessing outfit!

Ashley's First Day of Pre-K ... Sep 3, 2008

Ashley started her first day of Pre-Kindergarten. She is certainly more ready for this than we are!

Quotes to Remember

We were in Munich and just checking into our Hotel and both the girls needed to go to the bathroom. We all ran upstairs to our rooms and they both bolted into the bathroom. They began to fight over which one was going to use the toilet first. They argue for a few seconds when Katie shouts, "Mom, which one of us do you want to pee their pants?!" (May, 2009)
We were driving home from church last week and I said something like, "We are going to buy a Toyota Sequoia". Suddenly from the back we hear our 4 year old, Ashley, pipe up ... "You killed my Father...Prepare to Die!"...somehow she confused "Toyota Sequoia" with "Inigo Montoya" from the Princess Bride! (May, 2009)
Ashley and I were playing a card game when she says to me, "pause the game, I have to go to the bathroom". This is when I realized the technology gap between my childhood and hers.
I asked Ashley what country she was born in (she was born in Canada). She told me that she couldn't remember, so I tried to give her a hint. I said, "you were born in Cannnn...". To which she immediately exclaimed in triumph..."CANDYLAND!!"
Katie woke us up this morning telling us we needed to get up. Heather told her that her head hurt and she wasn't going to get up yet. Katie responds, "But you don't WALK on your head, so get up!"
