Best friends

Peter and Caitlin are really close. They really are best friends. (They play monster trucks and pirates too, I just got a pic during dress up time). It's fun to see my kids have close relationships.

Canaries

We got a new canary pet. His name is Spock because he has wicked eyebrows. I love the music he makes- especially in the winter.

This is Charlie, dad and Jan's canary. We are bird sitting for a few months while they are in Florida. So far the boys seem to like eachother.

Thanksgiving 2016

We spent thanksgiving with the Barlows in Ephraim. It was a wonderful day and wonderful food!

Karma, bless her Italian heart cooked a perfect traditional meal and the made a lasagna for good measure. We were all so stuffed she was the only one who ate it! She said it just felt right.

More deserts showed up than actual food. Yum!

Swim team

Josh and Andrew are swimming in the city team. Here are some pics from the first meet. They were pretty nervous but they did great!

The 4x100 relay team

Andrew in the 50 backstroke

All she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth

Over one week she lost both front teeth! I love this stage of childhood. She is so cute!

Drew the remarkable

Andrew had a stellar year in scouts. He won the pinewood derby, placed second in the space derby, and second in raingutter regatta. Pretty cool!

Family portrait

This is our family picture for the year. We had it taken at Adam and Beckys wedding in August.
