Basketball

This year, Madison and Simon wanted to try and play basketball. It's a nice way to run off some extra energy during these winter months. They are both enjoying it and you can often find Simon skipping down the court snapping his fingers!

Merry Christmas

We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2012!

Simon's Gingerbread house

Simon went to a new level and created a Transformer gingerbread house.

Madison's Gingerbread House

This year Madison decided to recreate Santa's workshop for her gingerbread house.

Silent Night

Here is Madison singing a solo from the song Silent Night. She did a great job and gots lots of compliments on her singing!

Later that day...

Madison tripped on the step from the family room into the kitchen. She fell and hit her head and needed 6 stitches. She was very brave during all of this and the doctor kept Madison occupied by asking her multiplication facts while stitching her up!

All I want for Christmas...

are my 2 front teeth!!

Having some fun in the fall leaves before winter arrives!

Beach Party

Even though it's gotten cold out, the kids figured they would make summer last a bit longer with an indoor beach party (complete with a banana tree they made together)!

Trick-or-Treat!

Happy Simon with his favorite dog!

Big News!

Simon asks that you click the picture to see if you can "see" the difference...he sure can!

First Days of school...

Simon was super excited to be heading to first grade!

Madison, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed to be sick and have to miss the first day.

Not to worry, just a few days later and she was as good as new and just as excited for school as Simon was on his first day!
