My Precious Ones

At church this next week, we are having Vacation Bible School. The week is about God's faithfulness to us. It should be a good week. I am part of the decorating crew, and I painted the backdrop for the front of the church. I am happy with the way that it turned out. As you can see, it has a tropical theme.

The kids got into the spirit of things and decided to have a beach party this morning as Ryan and I were making palm trees. It is the beginning of April and we still have quite a lot of snow on the ground. It will be a long time before swim suits can be worn outside.

On Wednesday, it was wacky hair day at school. Emily loves school, and her latest report card was excellent. She has two top teeth that are loose, but she is a chicken and won't wiggle them out. She is afraid it will hurt too much. One of her teeth is so loose that you notice that it is out of place. What is funny is that she won't wiggle her tooth with her finger, but she will wiggle it with her lip. So crazy.

Natalie is experiencing something new. As of this afternoon, she has her own bedroom! She is starting to demand some independence from her big sister. She's quite excited about having privacy. I am not too sure about Em and Zach sharing a room. I just wonder if some of the fighting will cease, or if that is wishful thinking.

Zach was in his room and asked Ryan to "Come and see me Daddy!"
He had put a dolly's shirt on his head. What a ham.

Zach was positive that he did not need a nap one afternoon. He fell asleep in the middle of the living room floor just before supper. He is so stubborn, but he is starting to be quite the funny guy.
