Maggie Update

Here's a sneak peak at Maggie's world!! Enjoy!

Worms!

We had quite a bit of rainfall today and in front of our house there is a terrible drainage problem which leaves a big "lake" for the kids to splash in when it rains. Today, Grant noticed a worm in the water. When we walked closer we realized there were A LOT of worms in the water! I mean, nealy 100!! When we got back this afternoon Grant went worm hunting with his neighborhood friend, Stephanie! I can't believe he got all these worms!!

Maggie wanted to go too but by the time we got outside it was pretty cold!!

Just me and my bike!

After MUCH apprehension Grant has finally decided to ride one of the MANY bikes we have been "storing" in our garage! Here is a sneak peek into his riding skills! You can hear the cul-de-sac mommies in the background worrying about getting locked out of the house!

Winter in the Inland Northwest

Well, it hasn't been much of a winter here this year. We've had very mild temperatures and NO snow which is a far cry from our record snowfall last year! Grant has been very sad that he hasn't been able to build a snowman! Grant and Maggie both started Kindermusik in January courtesy of Grammy Singleton! What a Merry Chirstmas present! They both love it so much! We've done some swimming lessons and both kids are doing great in school! (co-op for Maggie). Here are a few new pics of them! We miss everyone back home very much and can't wait to get back soon!

The infamous Miss Lori

This is Grant's second year in Miss Lori's preschool class. He is smitten with her!! She is an absolutely amazing teacher and we love her so very much! This is Miss Lori's last year teaching preschool so Grant will be moving on to other ventures next year! We will miss her so much! She has given Grant an immeasureable gift, the passion to learn!

The Jingle Pig

A couple of years ago my Mom and Dad gave Grant this Jingle Pig! It "snorts" the tune to jingle bells, walks around and even squeels when you pull his tail. Grant was terrified of it until this year! It's his very favorite Christmas "decoration". So much in fact that he brought it for his sharing day this week! I couldn't resist taking a video so Mom and Dad could see the legacy of the Jingle Pig!

Fall is in the air

Well, fall has finally arrived to the Inland Northwest! There is a chill in the air and the pumpkins are everywhere! Maggie has started walking which has been a huge source of entertainment through this cold spell. She's doing a great job and Grant brags to everyone that he taght her how! Grant has started preschool and Maggie has started co-op!! They both just LOVE to go. Grant has school 4 days a week and Maggie and I go to Co-op on Tuesdays! Grant is enjoying playing soccer as well!! Here are a few pics from the pumpkin patch!
