A Couple of Firsts...

Well, we finally had our yard sale a week ago on Saturday--we had been waiting 3 weeks for a sunny Saturday. I must say, though, the rain is actually quite nice and keeps the temp very comfortable. The yard sale was a success and now that all those boxes are moved out of the house, we have started packing up everything else. We are planning to leave for CT in 3 weeks! I'm pretty excited. Earlier this week I went to the dentist to get my very first fillings-2 of them. Going to the dentist is not my favourite thing in the world, and I left w/ a big headache, but will be going back for yet another 2! Claire learned to pump on a swing all by herself this week. We've been practicing pumping for a few weeks now, but on Friday afternoon, she started all by herself and kept herself going for a long time! Ethan has grown out of another pair of pants! He is really enjoying going to the park across the street and playing basketball w/ Danny. One of Jane's new favourite things is jumping on the bed. Well, I think that's all for now. Here are a few photos.


That's Batman Baby in the background.


One afternoon Ethan was out with Dan and I was playing with Claire. Jane all of a sudden got very, very quiet. We found her here in the hall, fast asleep!


This morning I was painting Claire's finger and toe nails before church. Jane came out from her bath and kept pointing at her fingernails. She sat so still while I painted her fingers and toes a bright red. She points at them all day!

This is a photo of Worthington Hooker Elementary School where Ethan and Claire will be attending Kindgarten.


This is where we will be living in CT. Our apt. is on the top floor. It's about 3 blocks from E & C's school.


This is what we call the "orange park". It's a block from where we are living currently and is where Claire made her pumping/swinging debut!
