Sadie getting ready for her first day of pre school. She loves it.

(Her teachers name is Linny.)

I thought you would like to see your brother in a skirt. He thought he was putting on his shorts and got Debbys skirt by mistake. I think he looks good what about you? Love you Stuart Mum

A couple short videos of Isabel doing some signs and saying her first really clear word "duck"

Man, they really grow up quickly.

This is our trip to Oaklawn zoo. (Sadie`s first pony ride)

Alice's Visit and My School

My friend Alice is visiting this weekend. I am sure most of you have heard of her or seen her in my travelling pictures. We met in Japan, she is from LA, and she is still teaching (at another school now) in Japan.
I took her to my school on Friday, so I thought I might post some pictures so you can all see where I will be working. Glenelg Country School, http://www.glenelg.org/, has four schools, Primary, Lower, Middle, and Upper, so it goes from pre-kindergarten all the way to grade 12. I am in the Lower School, fifth grade, which is the oldest building. Settlers from Scotland came in the 1700's and built a manor house, and the tower part of the building was built in the 1800's. I am working in the part of the building that has that old tower section, which is kind of fun and has some beautiful views from the windows. So in the pictures are the parlor area, the commons area at the top of the stairs (the fifth grade section), my classroom, and part of the school grounds.
The picture of me and Mike was taken on our balcony. You can see the Washington monument behind and between us. And, of course, I have to include cuteness, Collette.
We also spent this weekend touring DC and all of the monuments. Hope everyone else had a fun Labour Day weekend!

Kate's new horse Daisy

Nemo is jealous!

This was taken last night. Matthew is laughing at Sadie as she jumps off a stool.
