Kaitlyn's bread people

Kaitlyn has imaginary friends. She has many of them. She talks about them as if they are real. Some days she even insists that we say "hi" to them. A few of them are Cici, Jakin, and Cheney. Those are the three we hear the most about. Today, I decided to let her create some bread people. She says these two are Cici, and Jakin...

So, I'd like you to meet Kaitlyn's friends, Cici and Jakin.

The Cool Kid's Club...

Lately, our kids have been making up "clubs". This afternoon was no exception as they started a new club and crammed themselves into the little "pooh bear" tent with story books and a bucket full of grapes to eat. Sometimes when they make up their clubs they think of funny names. Last week they made a "Salamander Club" because of the little salamander Tom caught running around our family room. (It is common down here for salamanders to come up through the pipes and into houses) In order to be in the club, Sarah and Alan required everyone to give themselves a new name-even Tom and I. The names had to start with "Sal". Tom thought of "Saladdy" and I thought of "Salami" We were quite proud of ourselves for those names. :)...
Johnny, Ben, & Mark; Just wait until your kids are old enough to make you think of Goofy names.

William on the trampoline

This is the first time I put William on the trampoline without holding him. He seemed to enjoy it, but we couldn't bounce too hard of course. If you'll notice, he keeps steadying himself and looking down. I think he can see the grass underneath, and he might be a little worried or confused.
