Hidden Villa Flashback!

Ellie made this spider web for the spiders to live in. She actually believed they would!

I dont know if I ever posted these. I found these a folder labeled "for blog", but I dont remember ever posting them.

This was our last trip to Hidden Villa before we left CA! We loved that place! Great hiking, great slugs, great animals!

This reminds me that I never posted Chris's graduation pics! I need to do that since this blog eventually becomes my photo album / memory book for each year. Several of my friends have used this site to do it... www.blurb.com

I think I will use that site next time! You can download their software for free. It downloads your blog to your PC and then you create a book. Then they print and bind it for you!

Kevin Fights Back

Kevin and Ellie both love to stand on these stools to help me in the kitchen. In these pictures, we only had one stool in the kitchen. Kevin is sitting and crying in the first one because Ellie got to the stool first. Then, he decides to just pull her down!

Ellie Sleeping

I just love sleeping kids (especially mine)!

Ellie Prepares Dinner for Kevin

Ellie was helping me with dinner a few weeks ago. I gave her three containers with food for Kevin and asked her to put some on a plate for him. She made this for him all her own. I had no idea she was doing it until she was done! I've done something similar for her before, but this is the first time she's done it herself! She was so proud of it! (I know this plate is missing a protein. I don't remember what he had, but I know we gave him some protein. So, don't worry grandparents! He is well-fed!)
