A Day in the Life of...

I think we're all starting to feel more settled in. It's been nice seeing the kids so happy here. I think they miss some of their friends, but they love our new house and new stuff to do. Our family has visited a lot so they haven't had a chance to miss them yet. I feel like everyday in our family is a new adventure. We always find new ways to have fun - well, usually Zane figures out new ways to have fun and we follow his lead. Here are some things we've been up to.

Zane and Emerson love, and I mean LOVE having a backyard to go out to and back in when they want. We have a few rules, one being that they need to be wearing clothes. Well, the other day they took this rule seriously. I was on the phone in the other room and the back door was open with the screen door closed. They worked together to push the screen totally out, Zane went and turned on our sprinkler, and they ran through the sprinklers together in their clothes and all. When I found them out there they were CRACKING up and were soaked.

This is a video of another time they wanted to run through - which is basically every time we water the grass. This time they got in their swimsuits first but it was freezing outside. That doesn't seem to matter to Zane at all, but it sure did matter to Emmy.

Here's "Tekarana" one of Zane's made up characters that he likes to act like. He's a superhero of course. He might remind you of Spiderman, but don't be fooled. Notice his two different gloves and cool hat. We call him "Teka" for short.

Here's Emmy tackling and sitting on Tekarana.
We've been able to eat out on the deck a few times. We've also brought this little table inside to eat on it there. Thanks for the table, Judi and Bob...it's come in very handy!
The kids and I went on a long bike ride the other day. We need to buy Zane a big bike with training wheels, but for now he's content with this bike. We always ride behind Zane so we can give him a nudge on hills.

Playing together in our sandbox.
Zane loves music. He's always loved rap, especially Kanye West, so we have several edited versions of songs, so he can listen. He was singing and dancing to him on Zack's headphones.

I love these two little sweet things. The moments that they love each other are the best and genuinely make me feel so happy. Sometimes they can be so good to each other - I wish it was all the time!
