January 2009

Hi everyone! We have been having a fun month, so much so that I just haven't had much computer time, and am behind in posting some new pics! We really haven't pulled out the camera much lately, just been having school and church, and my work and Daddy finishing up some things on our rental house and now starting to work in earnest on the little sailboat we have. Someday we will have some great pics of our adventures on that, hopefully before too long!

Anyways, here are a few of the things we have been up to this month:

We got to take Cubbie Bear home from our Cubbies group at church. This is basically a club at church where the kids get to have a great time learning more about the Bible and memorizing verses and having fun with friends. Each kid gets to have a turn with Cubby Bear coming home to their house to spend the week! He has been hanging out with us all week, sleeping mostly in Sissy's room, going in the car to the YMCA, and the store and even the beach today. He has been very patient with us while we do our erands and has even had time to hang out on our new porch swing with our neighborhood friends! The kids have really enjoyed him visiting us, and he has to go back on Tuesday, but we will see him again at church!

We had our Valentine party at school last week. We made some very cool cards for both sets of Grandmas and Grandpas and mailed them on a walking adventure to the mailbox with our preschool friends.







And today we decided to play hooky from church and go out to Dash Point Beach. We saw really amazing sand dollars. It was my first time to see them out on the beach like that. We went home and did a little research on them. It was sooooo cool! There were hundreds of them. I had never seen anything like it. Anyways, we had a fun day!
