Troll Tot

Here is Kathryn sporting the new bib from our Trinity Alumni Committee.

Lazy Town

I may have mentioned in previous posts that Anika LOVES Lazy Town - a children's show on Nick, Jr. Anika has been practicing the dances from the show and Andrew is really getting into Sporticus (the "slightly above average" hero of the show, and a former Olympic gymnast). So, today they put on some costumes and performed for me:-)


The real cast members (Robbie Rotten, Stephanie, & Sporticus):

Wii Fever

Well, we did it. . . We bought a Wii game system. Lloyd and I have talked about it for months. I've been fascinated by this "interACTIVE" gaming device and after I tried my sister's family's Wii in Morrison, I was hooked. Now, I'm just shocked at how quickly a 4 year old has mastered this new technology. Anika LOVES it. She is becoming an expert at the lingo for so many sports. I can hear her saying, "nice on" or "nice approach" as I play golf. I will be encouraged to "hit it out of the park" or "don't get a foul ball" as I swing the bat. And sometimes she will show her competitive spirit as she wish for me to NOT "make a strike" in bowling as I come to the final "frame".

As a side note: Lloyd and I can't believe how sore we are:-) It really does make you work - and work up a sweat!

We've discovered that Anika is a lefty for sure!

Special Visitors

After recovering a bit from vacation, we were delighted to welcome Nana and Aunt Rachel for a short visit. They stopped for a few days before continuing their trip north to see Pake (Lloyd's grandpa) in Salem, OR. It was Aunt Rachel's first time holding Kathryn. The kids couldn't get enough of their Nana.
