LOOK!

He can write his name!!!! (I actually didn't know he could do the whole thing....) We tried because Anna was doing some homework and what do you know? I am pretty excited! (Now we have to work on writing it smaller!) Way to go buddy!

Our Little Eagles!

This was before Saturday's wrestling meet in Sparta. The kids LOVE going to the matches! And, by the way, Jake is "being" a wrestler in the pictures (if you couldn't tell!)

Tooth #2 is out!

Anna's bottom tooth has been super loose for a few days now. We had friends over tonight for dinner, when Anna said, "Uh oh, I think I lost a tooth!". She was very worried and showed us all her little mouth with a new hole...but no tooth in site! I told her about when I was in 2nd grade and swallowed my tooth, Amber also told her that she lost her tooth in an apple without knowing. None of this seemed to calm her worried little face. So, I decide to check out her plate...there it is, her missing tooth! She was still worried but a bit happier knowing that she hadn't eaten it! This one was a bleeder, so that too scared her to death! I had to reassure her that everything was going to be o.k. when she went to bed....sigh....growing up is hard on all of us!

Jake, the professional bowler!

Look out Grandma and Grandpa G. here comes Jake! Jake had his field trip to Hudsonville Lanes today with his preschool class. He got the 2nd or 3rd highest score for the entire class! (71) Which, sadly, is probably my average as well! He had a blast and was really, REALLY not ready to go home...both him and Luke threw such fits that the entire alley full of people were staring at me in horror! (Those boys!)

Just the Three of Us!

Being goofy before church!

Finally an update in 2009. Nothing really going on as of yet, just busy with wrestling!! P.S. Happy Birthday Grandma G!
