First Day of First Grade

Karsen's First Day of First Grade

Snow Day!

We finally got some snow and were so excited after not seeing snow for several years. Our front yard slopes down so it's the perfect sledding hill.






We've had a lot of fun this week playing outside in the snow. Karsen's school was closed for two days because of the weather.

Christmas

We had a good Christmas. The kids were so excited. Karsen was really hoping for a white Christmas, which didn't happen. But we still enjoyed our first Christmas in our new house in St. Louis. :)

Halloween

Here are the kids ready to trick-or-treat around our neighborhood. Karsen was an excited Batman and Rowan was a reluctant clown. We were suprised he kept his hair on the entire time.

ready to defeat evil.

Rowan as 'Cutsie Clown.' That's what the costume was actually called - I'd say that's pretty accurate. :)

Picture Day

It was picture day at school today for both kids. They looked so handsome I couldn't resist taking some pictures of my own. Enjoy!

Rowan is getting bigger every day. He's starting to look more like a little boy and less like a baby!

We've moved!

We've moved into our new house in Kirkwood, Missouri. As some of you already know my company moved us to St. Louis as a result of a merger. I'm still working from home, which works out great with the kids' schedule. Kerry found a job with a good company. It's been hectic getting all the boxed unpacked and the rooms painted etc. But we're enjoying the new space and the town of Kirkwood. The house is on a nice, quiet, cul-de-sac and the neighbors are really nice. They've been coming by with a steady stream of food and are even having a welcoming party next month! Anyway, here's some pictures of the kids at the house.

Rowan's First Birthday

We were at lake Pomme de Terre during Rowan's birthday. My friend Alison was nice enough to make the cake - isn't it too cute! Rowan was pretty tired and wouldn't eat the cake but the rest of us enjoyed it.
