8 Years!

Last week, Matt & I celebrated our 8th anniversary! Tonight we finally got around to taking our annual "anniversary photo".

This year, our picture was taken by a budding new photographer - Levi! He was hilarious with posing us: "Is this going to be a family picture?" "You'll need to get in close to each other." "Oh, that's a good one!"

I'm thinking he might have a future in photos! See for yourself:

Carpool Buddies

Today, Levi had his preschool friend, Katelyn, over to play for the afternoon. We carpool with Katelyn's family and the two of them have become fast friends. They had a fun-filled afternoon playing Legos, pretend and playing in the backyard. I'm pretty sure that Katelyn will be a frequent (and very welcome) visitor at our house!!

He's such a...Monkey!

We've called him our little monkey since he was a baby.

He climbs up and on everything.

His room is in the process of being decorated with a monkey theme.

He was Curious George for Halloween last year.

Can you see the resemblance?

Curious, like Curious George!

Tonight, Angie and I braved the ArtPrize crowds and headed downtown with the kids to the Children's Museum to check out the Curious George exhibit before it left. The kids seemed to have a good time and they didn't really want to stop and smile for pictures.




I got the best smiles at the space ship display:

We did get to see some of the ArtPrize entries while we were downtown - including this set of elephant sculptures right outside the museum. We'll definitely have to head back downtown to check out some more of ArtPrize!

P-R-E-S-C-H-O-O-L!

The BIG day finally arrived -- Levi started preschool this morning! The first day went great and Levi had a fun time. He told me that his favorite part of preschool today was playing on the playground! I'm so excited for all the fun times he's going to have this year, the wonderful things he's going to learn, and the friends he's going to make! Welcome to school, Levi!!

Levi was excited about the sign I made him, but not so thrilled to be in the pictures with the sign.

"What does this say, Mom?"

Reuben's world is about to change too!



Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom - will there be enough room for LEVI??
