Jan - April 2012

Julia and Ethan having fun feeding the ducks in January, yep they are wearing shorts! It was beautiful!

 Ethan lost his two front teeth! He was super happy to have them finally out!

Julia and Ethan at a local art park!

This is Julia's garden. This year we decided to have the kids be in charge of their own section of the garden. They got to choose what they planted. Julia chose a raspberry bush, parsley-for the swallowtail caterpillars and a pretty pink flowering perennial.







Ethan chose an everbearing strawberry and petunias. We will be protecting the berries from the birds this year because last year they ate all the berries just before we could pick them! Ethan was very disappointed.








Julia and Ethan have both had the honor of being chosen a Kiwanis Terrific Kid. That was a big achievement for both of them!

 Ethan and Julia have a very expressive art teacher whom they love! Below are the artworks that they made for the art show. Julia won 2 ribbons, 1st and 2nd place!

 

We went to Springfield to celebrate Easter this year. The children all had fun finding Easter Eggs all over the farm. Ethan had the most eggs as far as we could tell!

 

Julia has started softball this year and absolutely loves it. She is #20 and her team is called the Farmington Edge. She has great coaches and good girls on her team. This is the first time she was up to bat in her scrimmage.
