Starting Early....

Averie and Andrew are addicted to a web site that teaches children the alphabet. The website is www.starfall.com. You click on the link to the ABC's and off you go. A & A LOVE working on their alphabet on the computer. They are adding new words to their tiny vocabularies every day. I seriously believe they will be ready to enter college by their 2nd birthday. Yes, Bruce is wearing a Snuggie!

Ice Skating

Every school in Alaska has an outdoor ice skating rink. This afternoon we went to the middle school for some outdoor fun. We have been hold up in the house because Andrew and Averie have been sick. However, now that they are better, and afternoon outside is just what we needed. Bruce has not bought any skates yet, but I found some on sale shortly after we moved here. Hopefully we will find him some soon! Andrew and Averie loved it when I pushed them in the stroller. I think they liked going fast.

The first video is of me pushing them while skating. They seemed to really like it. The second video is just of them walking around on the snow. Andrew loves to walk in it, but Averie does not. As soon as Bruce took her out of the stroller she started screaming and did not stop screaming until we put her in the car. The last video is Andrew walking out on the ice. He loved it. I thought he was moving pretty fast! Notice how they look like the Michelin Tire Man in their snow suits. Thanks Aunt Mary Jo, we love them!!

Movie Time and a Cute Dress

Okay, so I know that children should have limited use of the television when they are this young. However, they love to watch this particular video of cute creatures singing nursery rhymes. The video is about 25 minutes long and they love it!! I know it's bad, but it's also GREAT......for me! I can get a few household things accomplished and maybe use the bathroom. This picture was taken today when they were watching their movie, sitting in their new chairs and being sooooo still. They were also looking cute!

I know this is not a great picture of the dress, but I am including it because I made the dress! Well, my mom sewed the button holes, but I did the rest. The front has a little pocket, with an embroidered cell phone it it. Her name is on the bottom of the design. She wore it to the audiologist today and she new she was looking cute!
