We went to Corvallis this past weekend to spent time with our family. Our nephew, Judah, refers to our kids collectively as "the cousins". Which is fitting because, as my brother pointed out, our kids travel in a pack. You rarely see one without seeing the other two nearby. So they are known as a group rather than individually! Anyway, "the cousins" had a great time playing in Grandpa and Grandma's house and backyard with Judah and Ezra. It is so much fun to see these kiddos play together!
Judah, Laurel, Levi, Erika, and Ezra
Laurel with Ezra. She loves kids who are younger than her (who aren't her brother) and was so happy to be anywhere Ezra was!
Erika and Ezra. As the oldest of the younger set of cousins, she takes her responsibility quite seriously as the leader!
School pictures were last week. Here is a sneak peek of the girls picture outfits.
The kindergartener
The second grader
The crazies
Erika has been reading the Harry Potter series with either Matt or I at night. We had been waiting to introduce the kids to the series until we thought they wouldn't be too scared or confused about the storyline. Since we are reading the books (slowly) we also started watching the movies! Erika and Laurel watched it....Levi wasn't interested and wanted to watch Disney movies instead. We are watching the movies almost as slowly as we are reading...I really want Erika to enjoy the book version first. Laurel is not quite ready to sit still for long chapter books, but she will wander in and out of our reading. I love these books and am loving sharing them with the girls!
