Winter Happenings

We've had a busy time since the holidays! Merete's English is improving daily and he's telling stories and telling on his brother :-) Elijah is taking his role as big brother very seriously and has gotten over much of his shyness in the process. Merete loves going to school and playing with friends.

Elijah went to UF with me one day and pretended to be a student. He especially enjoyed the dinning hall (I'm sure the "all you can eat" concept will continue to be his favorite part of college when he's grown up too).

The boys went to a friend's birthday party at O2B, which is always big toy fun!

I spent some time crocheting scarves and little monsters.

Merete went to his first medieval fair, where he and Elijah were knighted and enjoyed the 'ol time carnival games. The jousting was very cool too!

We celebrated Obama's inauguration by staying home with sick kids, watching TV, and drawing pictures :-)


Elijah, the girls, and I went to the UF Gymnastics meet, "Link to Pink". The Gators did well, winning the meet and we got to see a perfect 10!

And Han took the boys to a softball game, where the Gators soundly beat (I have no idea who it was, but they boys were excited about it).

The rest of February will also be busy...I've got a trip to Wilmington, followed by E's birthday party, a kids' marathon, belt test, and it looks like at least another birthday party :-)
