March Madness

Our kids are attending the German Saturday School for the next couple of months.

Cora has enjoyed the Playgroup Time and met some fun friends, especially Eva and Frieda.

They sing songs, read books, do a craft, and have a parachute at the end.

I wanted to upload some videos, but I can't get the videos to play, so you can use your imagination. :)

Aaron's new obsessions: Basketball with a homemade paper hoop! 

and reading the "Geronimo Stilton" series

Timmy's latest obsessions: Reading "The Magic Treehouse Series" 

and playing "Prodigy" a math game.

Fun at the library "Pet Shop" Day.  We sneaked in at the very end after German Class, and still got to enter the raffle, get free balloons and get Cora's face painted. 

 So handsome in his new little whale outfit

It's sheriff Woody from Toy Story!

  

It's about time we hung up a few pictures.  We hung these in Cora's Room.

My 4 Babies

 

 My artist friend, Meltem, gave us this.  It matches the blue so well in Cora's bookshelf.

 Cora has come a long way since January 1st.  She's been in Primary for 3 months now.  At first, she was very nervous and wanted only to be right next to me the whole time.  Last week, she stood and gave the scripture with a nice loud voice (the one on the board you see there), and she participated as the Shamrock Music Leader. :)  She likes to sit by Jordan.

The kids all like to hold Ollie for a bit each day.

Life with a newborn is very sweet, but it's also very busy.  Taking care of a newborn feels a day and night never-ending task, with other kids needs' often taking a backseat.  But I know this time in the "trenches" is short, and will regulate soon.  

We are SO glad that Mom and Dad Parker were here to help us get through those first couple of difficult weeks.  Thank you thank you!

And thank you to everyone for sending your good wishes and darling gifts.  We appreciate it so much!

XOXO
