Here is what we've been up to the last couple of weeks. I let too much time slip by before updating the blog.

Sarah has a loose tooth. She can't wait until it comes out and she can leave it for the tooth fairy. Last night, she left an old tooth (I am not really sure where it came from and what species it came out of) under her pillow. She got $2.00. I told her the tooth fairy might not be happy being fooled like that, but she thought it was hilarious.

Sarah played soccer again and did quite well, but no goals this week. She played well and had fun too, so all was good. Well, almost anyway.

Before the game started, I made her tuck in her uniform shirt and she was not happy about that. Here is the face she made at me when I made her tuck in her shirt. Clearly, an unhappy camper. I still think she looked a lot better with the tucked-in shirt in the photos (as in the above photo).

Last Friday, Nick and I went to an international dinner night at Betty and Todd's (Sister and Brother-in-Laws) church. They had sponsored the Russian table and thought it would be cool if a real live Russian came so while Yvonne and Sarah went to her softball pre-season pizza party, Nick and I went to the dinner. Fortunately, no Russian food was served and I enjoyed the chicken breast, mashed potatoes and green beans and he ate about 30 chicken nuggets. I think he is growing. Anyway, the highlight of the evening was the the Chinese acrobats. Everyone enjoyed their show.


Nick has had about a 2 week break from baseball due to a weird schedule, but will be back in action Thursday night. In the mean time, here is a pic of him hanging out in the back yard. Notice the small white fleck on his chin. Remnants of a marshmallow from a little bonfire we had Saturday night. We roasted hotdogs and finished with marshmallows.
