Kidz Praise Christmas Concert

Austin, Lindsey, and Reece each were in different choirs for their Christmas concert. Austin had a speaking part this year and we would have to say that Kidz Praise is Reece's most favorite class at church. Here Reece is singing in this picture above. Lindsey is in the front row on the next picture. We mainly got Austin's speaking part on video this year. Janet helped with the 5 year old choir so it was a busy yet great evening.

Bumper Bowling

It was great to have Miss Emily visit over the long Labor Day weekend. One of the many things we did was bumper bowling. This is bowling in a regular bowling alley, but they pull these little fences up on the sides of the lanes so that the ball doesn't fall into the gutter. Kind of a cool idea! Unfortunately, it's only intended for kids so the fifteen or so balls I pushed right into the gutter (and the one time I fell into the gutter) did not benefit from having those up on our lane!

Here are some pictures of the kids giving it a try.

One of the funniest things was watching Reece, who always wants to do everything all by himself, pick up the six pound ball, carry it to the front of the lane and push it while we wait, and wait, and wait for the ball to knock over a few pins.

Here is a audio-less video of just such an event:

Reece Turns 3

We have a three-year-old. Reece is now three and hasn't skipped a beat. I was video taping when he blew out candles on his cake. Dad, did you get pictures of that? Here Austin is enjoying Reece's gift. Reece is getting to where his birthday gifts are ones that Austin will enjoy also.

Reece is in a sling. It's not on his arm right in this picture, it's supposed to be holding his arm close to his chest, but it always slides back. Reece broke his collar bone jumping or falling off Lindsey's bed July 31st. He seems to be getting better as he is using his arm more and more. He'll get an X-ray this Friday and we'll know how it's healing then.
