First week of school

Hopefully these smiles last the whole year :) Joel is starting kindergarten and wakes me up early, anxious to start... and then when he's finished for the day he gets very upset.

Em's putting on a cheerful face even though she's sad she can't do school with her cousins this year. Holly is great for cheering them up.


Good friends (it's amazing they get along so well considering they both love to pester each other) Aaaaw... sibling affection :)


Joel's room

Typical Joel!!Marie & Holly's room



Em's room (not done yet). Thanks to Curt & Jen for the beautiful duvet cover... please come and try it out :) Em's room is also the guest room, hence the queen-size bed.

Steve's grandparents came to visit
Steve's dad's health is very poor; we are very worried about him and would appreciate your prayers
