"Look, Mom, Ruie's in Jail!"

Metamorphisis

About a month ago Audrey found a HUGE Caterpillar. Like the Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar kind of huge. She put it in her bug box. It made a cocoon. Kevin and I both thought for sure that it wouldn't survive, then one morning Kevin hears this weird noise. Low and behold, we had a moth in the cage. The kids were ecstatic. We played with it for a little before releasing it outside.

Ready for bed

Zonked out!

Nerds of the girly sort

The entire youth family, revealing their inner nerd.

Soba

On Kevin's day off we ran some errands. Had to get Ruie's immigration paperwork done. So, while we were on that side of town, we went to our favorite soba shop. The kids enjoyed the noodles and I enjoyed watching them attemp to eat them.

Ruie putting up a fuss. Apparently she wants to eat, too.

My view while I was eating.

Titus enjoing his food.

Slurping them up.

LJ is constantly trying to use chopsticks. He's slowly getting the hang of them.

And now there are 5

Bible Story Time

Ruie gets to join in on the fun.

As you can tell, Titus is paying close attention to the story.

A House for Ruie

LJ builds Ruie a place to hang out.

Her little home.

Peeking in on her.

Hard to Believe

A year ago, he was sleeping in this thing...CRAZY!
He took the opportunity to try out Ruie's bed when he thought no one was watching.

It's the horse's birthday.

They asked to use the camera to get a picture of their celebration.

Audrey and LJ celebrated the horse's birthday. Complete with a cake.


These two are quite creative and have a great time playing together (most of the time).

Racked Out

My kids love to sleep. Ruie in the sleep machine aka swing.
