Updates!

Ok.  It's been a long time since I have posted anything about the kids. There is a lot to say so I am just going to do this in list form....

Kent
-Has lost 6 teeth (the last two he pulled out way too early.  He pulled them out in September because he wanted to have lost the most in his class!  The adult teeth are only now coming in!)
-Is in the TWBI 1st grade class at Holland West K-7.  90% of the school day instruction is in Spanish.  This was kind of overwhelming for him at first but he is now starting to pick up a lot of Spanish.
-Takes ice skating lessons on Monday evenings.  He falls a lot but seems to love it!
-Is crazy about Mario Kart on the Wii.  This is kind of annoying but makes it easy to reward/punish him.
-Enjoys watching Bob Esponja (Sponge Bob in Spanish), racing his Match Box cars, Mario kart, doing math for fun (rolling dice and adding numbers over and over and over), reading Peanut's comic books, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Big Nate, and anything about baseball. (He especially loves reading at night in bed with his flashlight.)
- He still loves snuggling his mama every night and morning!

Maeve
-Takes Ballet/Tap every Thursday
-Takes ice skating lessons every Monday.
-Goes to full day preschool every day at Lakeshore Little People's Place.
-Loves art!  She is constantly creating art and she especially loves using sequins and glitter glue.
-Is starting to show an interest in learning to read.
Enjoys princess books, playing with baby dolls, dressing up, having me braid her hair, eating cheese, art, art and more art, snuggling with her many blankets and stuffed animals, singing (usually about Jesus) and dancing.
-Maeve loves Fridays and talks about "Friday pizza and movie night" every day!

Glad to see that you stopped neglecting your blog! Love the pictures of Maeve dancing. I was thinking about putting Leah in a tap class next year, but worried about the year long commitment. I'm glad to see that she still enjoys it. :-)

This is not merely celebrities who definitely are using their wedding day to mirror their taste and personality. Instead of simply conforming on the accepted form of the entire year, brides today have endless options in terms of a [url=http://www.beautifulwd.com/]prom dresses[/url]. Traditionalists look regal in cathedral trains, while more casual brides wear sleeveless, halter-style dresses as well as two-piece, belly-button-baring gowns. And, for those brides they like straight locales because the setting with the ceremony, it's not unusual to determine a themed [url=http://www.beautifulwd.com/2011-style-trumpet-mermaid-strapless-beading-sleeveless-floor-length-taffeta-prom-dress-goods-16445.html]2012 prom dresses[/url]?wedding dress, like the one which evokes the Victorian times or perhaps the Dark ages.
