February

Well I took a long time off from blogging. I've thought of a lot of things to blog about, but I know this is about the pictures. So here are the updates:

Cameron is pleased that he can crawl all over and can stand up to & walk along things now. However, Mommy has a lot of breathing problems when Cameron takes a spill and gets a new bruise on the head. Oh this is such a fun time and not so fun time of babies growing up. But he will make it through & so will Mommy.

Cameron's favorite bath-time activity: sucking water out of the washcloth.

Enthusiastically, looking forward to being like Dad.

100's day at school.

So can you guess which President Erik liked studying about at school?

Erik is learning to read. So he gets to read to everyone, including Cameron.
I LOVE THIS!

Dreaming of having his own car; and being a race car driver. This worries Dad that Erik wants to drive like his Mom. I guess I better slow it down! :)

KINDERGARTEN: THE GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP
Unfortunately Erik missed a lot of school during February, due to a cold that just wouldn't go away. One of the days he missed was a very special school day. The kindergarteners made their own box cars for a "road trip." All 4 classes came in the morning and did a parade through the school for parents & students. Then they "visited" Mount Rushmore, the Lincoln Memorial, the White House & the Statue of Liberty. They had been learning about the United States, U.S. Presidents and historical monuments. Since Erik couldn't go I printed pictures of the monuments and posted activities in envelopes at each of the sites. Then he had to "follow" a U.S. road map to the correct state to find the monument. He was very happy that then all he missed out on was seeing the actor Abraham Lincoln.

Celery anyone?
