Jonny thought it would be real fun if he bought the most powerful engines they make for olivias rocket. We lost the rocket. It must have burned up in the atmosphere.

This summer we saw a u.f.o. ....pretty sure anyway. Lincoln ran into the house to tell me "mom mom we just saw a USA!!!" that is exciting. We have been looking at the moon a lot, it is so amazing the detail you can see. The kids get pretty excited about the nights when we can get the telescope out. Here is jonny and the kids waiting for it to get darker. Also Linc got a pretty sweet spider man suit at a yard sale. check out those muscles.

olivia and virginia would each like a pair of these shoes. Liv probably wants hers in glitter.

We have this book called polka bats & octopus slacks. 14 stories by calef brown. It is really wonderful children's poetry book. Olivia & Lincoln (who is only 3) have memorized almost every poem in the book. Such a great book and a good way to help kids appreciate poetry and rhythm. Lincoln has added several words into his vocabulary...like polka turds and jury duty. Also it has fabulous illustrations...which is the icing on the cake. Anyway Linc must read it on a daily basis. I hope he writes another one soon.

I am quite sorry for the lack of posts. We have been having way to busy of a life to worry with the computer. But I am back! and will keep you all up to date. Our new baby Ian is doing great he is 2 months old and fat and happy. The kids just love him. We have had a good summer and are adjusting to our new home...but I am missing my old house very much. We are going to be celebrating liv's 7th birthday next week. seven. wow. The past few days liv has been working on a model car she got for christmas. She did a great job with minimal help..she is really proud of it.
