Rollerskating and Pizza

We celebrated our birthdays together this year (Ava turned 9 and Marlena turned 6). There is not much on this earth that is better than cool friends, fast skates and good pizza!

Our bird friends

Ava loves the birds that come visit our house on a regular basis. Grandmom got her a special bird identification book to help her figure out who is coming to dinner.

Marlena turns 6

Christmas cookies!

Grandmom helped us with the Christmas cookies this year. On the menu...gingerbread and candy canes.

Life in the 1800's

We have had the good fortune to have some very fun field trips in our Delaware school this year. I went to Greenbank Mills which is a 19th century gristmill, textile factory and farm. Marlena got the go to the Hagley Museum which is a gunpowder works founded by E. I. du Pont in 1802.

Rockin' in the rain with Barack

Today we went to a rally for Barack Obama. It was cold and rainy but we got to miss school for this momentous occasion. Hope he goes on to win the election! Go Barack!!!!
