Even more teeth

So, we were setting up another room in our house for the tooth fairy as teeth are falling out left and right. Of his front eight Michael has 4 of them showing righ now. Makes a great smile though.

Easter Snow

Well, we thought we were through it all. Last week was mid 30s-40s, which felt great. Yesterday almost all of the snow had melted, and then today, this is the shot out our patio window - March 21.

Toothless

Michael has lost about 3 teeth this month with one more about to come out. I went on his 1st grade field trip yesterday and it was funny to see how many kids in his class are walking around with half of their teeth missing. It's almost a daily "sharing time" event - who lost a tooth this week?

Rare Sighting!!!

Had to post this one, as it was an extremely rare sighting of Megan with "open eyes" and "smilling mouth". Occasionaly we can catch one at a time, but the smiles are accompanied with a closed eyes, or the open eyes come with a nice frown. As you can tell it was caught on camera quickly with some blur and low light levels, since it was really hard to catch.

Megan March happenings

When Megan finds something she likes she goes 100% in. Over the last few years she has gone through phases of Powerpuff Girls, Pink Panther, Dora and Diego, Billy and Mandy, Ben 10, and now the latest is STAR WARS Lego.

What's great about this is that it's the first non TV show. The others were her watching the show and then playing afterwards. This is her playing the video game, which is the first game she's ever played, and then builds with Lego afterwards. This is a picture of the kitchen floor last weekend. It's great that alot of my 20 year old Lego sets I kept are really getting used again now.

She can name all of the characters in Star Wars Lego now, and she's never seen the movies yet. My favorite is MP3PO (C3PO) and IndyDingy Jones (Indiana Jones - below) which is he new favorite. The kids are saving up their allowances so they can buy it when it comes out.

Nieuwveld's visit

Candice's long time best friend and family visited us during the extremely cold month of February. It was great to see them and new little "Hannah" having fun in the cold. Matthis had some funky European flu most of the time he was here, that decided to stay behind and pass through Rachel. Candice and Lisa were able to go cross country skiing one day, which Candice found out she loves now. Lisa also feel in love with the Wii and tried to find one before heading back to the Netherlands.
