Remi's 5 months!

The best face ever.

Come on chubbs....give me a smile!

Remi is now 5 months old. Crazy. She is rolling over, eating oatmeal, and putting EVERYTHING in her mouth. She is also starting to slither? I'm not sure what to call it but if I lay her on her tummy and put a toy a foot away she wiggles & worms her way to the toy. She's eating every 3-4 hours with an 8 hour stretch at night. And she is finally on a "schedule", taking a big nap in the am and another in the afternoon. So now I can try to work around everyone's schedule to avoid meltdowns....but sometimes they are just unavoidable!

Ella's STUDENT OF THE MONTH award!

Every 6 weeks Ella's classroom gives out a "student of the month" award to one child who has done something outstanding. This month Ella got it for "Caring, putting people before yourself". The teacher sent a note home letting us know she was going to receive the award that Friday at the flagpole ceremony. It's a pretty big deal considering there are 24 kids in her class, so only about 7 awards are given out all year. It was a big surprise for Ella. She was so embarrassed when the principle called out her name in front of the entire school. She acted so cool, calm and collected (sounds like someone else I know, PK). It was so cute. We are so proud of her ;-}

It was ALSO Hawaiian dress up day.

This was the secret note Mrs. Slegers (Ella's teacher) sent home to let us know she was getting the award.

Lining up for the flagpole ceremony.

When the principle called out...ELLA KEUS!

Soooo cool & calm.

A Day w/ Ruby

Harper & Ruby reading a bedtime story.

Random Policemen in Buon Gusto...Harper thought Ruby wanted a pic with them.

We took Ruby to Harper's FAVORITE restaurant. Buon Gusto.

Then we took her for a hike at the wetlands.

( Where is Ruby's shoe?)

Harper got to take Ruby home from her Preschool. The assignment was to take Ruby around and show her a fun day. So she started out with lunch at her fav place, then a hike, then a bedtime story. What a great day.

We went to Big Bear over the weekend with our friends Nicole & JR. The kids had so much fun. They painted pine cones & dinosaurs, went on nature walks, and hung out in the jacuzzi. Thanks so much for a great weekend Reynolds Family...oh yeah, Go Greenbay :-)

Miss Chef

Harper made her hat school yesterday. She said that the writing read "cooking hat for Harper so I can cook my own dinner". So I let her make her & Ella's pasta. Way to go!
