Bike Tow

Alex loves to tow his bike around from his tricycle. If he is not towing his bike, he finds something else to tow. He likes it when we give him tape...any kind of tape will do...even tape that was already used. He will find a piece of cardboard and then tape it to his bike. Then he tows the cardboard.

Basement Bathroom Remodel

We knew when we bought our new house, a year ago, that we would have to do some simple remodeling on the basement bathroom. We knew we didn't want to do it right away, but we decided to take on this task last month. Here are the results.

This is a picture of the bathroom from the house listing. The bathroom was usable, but the cabinet was starting to fall apart and it just wasn't our style.


And this is a picture of the bathroom after all the work which included a lot of wall repair, some new paint, and a new sink/cabinet, toilet, and mirror. Dave did all the hard work! Pictures don't do it justice. It looks even better in person.


Thank you Dave!!!

Attempting to get a picture

On their first full morning of preschool, we tried to get another picture. Well this is our attempt at trying to get a picture of the both of them looking forward and smiling. This has become a difficult task for us. : )

(Aubrey had a run in with the pavement so she has a little sore under her nose.)

I wanted to add that their first real day of preschool went well. They both almost ran into the classroom. They knew there were lots of fun toys in there....and there was paint. : ) Paint ended up being the hard part of the day. Aubrey painted a picture during class and it was left on the drying rack to dry. She was really upset when she had to leave without her painting. She was happy to get her painting the next week. I am so glad that we found a nice preschool for them to go attend. At first Alex and Aubrey didn't want to go to preschool, but now they are so excited to go. I think they weren't quite sure what preschool was all about, but now they realize its fun.

Starting Preschool

Alex and Aubrey have started preschool. Why are they growing so fast. They are in a 2 morning a week program for 3 year olds and they love it.

(Aubrey wouldn't cooperate for her single picture. That is how a lot of our pictures look like these days.)

Taking a Break

Sarah (our neighbor), Alex, and Aubrey taking a break during a neighborhood bike ride to enjoy some apple juice and banana bread.

Box Time Fun

We fixed up our basement bathroom and here is one of the boxes from the new stuff. Alex and Aubrey played with it for hours.

Fun at a local Festival

We went to a local festival with our neighbors. We all had a great time. Alex, Aubrey, and Sarah got to take a ride on a carnival ride while we were there. They all had fun spinning it around.


Here is Alex checking out an ambulance. I think he thought they were going to drive around, so he was a little upset when he had to get out.

Getting a Haircut

Aubrey getting a haircut from Barber Alex. It turned out great!

Dressing Up

Ghatool (Alex and Aubrey's Day Care Provider), gave Alex and Aubrey these handsome and beautiful outfits. Aubrey is so excited to be dressed up. Alex had to be convinced that his outfit was a superhero outfit in order to put it on. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of Alex with his outfit on with his red supercape on overtop. : )
