Week 48

Started this week off with ME giving a 10 minute talk at church...
IN GERMAN! Whew... I'm glad that's over.

Monday was an American Holiday so we went to the Dentist since the Germans don't celebrate Martin Luther King Day. It has almost been exactly 1 year since we'd been to the dentist. We went right before we left the States. It is disappointing that they don't clean your teeth at the checkup's here.

Connor was really bothered by the light shining in his eyes.
I told him next time he would have to wear his sunglasses.

Aiden's trying not to cry because he has TWO cavities!!

Whitney's first Dental check up

She was so good!

Another highlight this week was Aiden getting the 'Responsible Student' wristband. They took his picture at school and had him sign a certificate for being so responsible. Aiden hasn't taken it off to sleep or bathe! He is so proud of himself. :) We are proud of him too. He's such a good boy and has handled a lot of change this last year like a trooper!!

On Saturday Jeremy and Connor went to Alaska Days for scouts. Unfortunately Jeremy didn't take ANY pictures so I have to wait for another one of the parents to email me some so... more about that on another post.

While they were gone we ran errands, the usual. It was a nice day (relatively speaking) so we took Kayla out to the soccer field to run around.
Aiden LOVES his dog!

Kayla was so funny. She was terrorizing everyone. She kept stealing Aiden's football, then biting Whitney's pants, and then running away so no one could catch her. It was fun.

Whitney experimented with her hair and outfits. Such a girlie girl but then the tom-boy in her makes her carry that fake spider around at the same time.

She does this thing when she feels extra cute! There is really no way to explain it so I put it in this video. I love this little girl!!! :)



Whitney's thing lately is verifying who has bo-bo's and who has tu-tu's. (I'll let you figure out for yourself what those are!) After running errands and playing all day on Saturday I took Whitney and Aiden to see Planet 51. Here is the conversation Whitney had (loudly), in a packed theater, before the movie started:

Whitney: Mommy, do you have a bo-bo?
Amy: Yes
Whitney: oh. Aiden, do you have a tu-tu?
Aiden: (laughing and embarrassed) Yes
Whitney: oh.
Since no one else was there to answer for themselves Whitney spoke for them as well.
Whitney: Daddy has a tu-tu, Connor has a tu-tu, Kayla has a tail!

You are right Amy, you do have adorable children, and Whitnes is sooo cute! I love her hairdo. Tell Aiden I am very proud of him too. Mom

I have a feeling you are going to have a HANDFUL when Whitney is a little older and more independent! Her sizzle dance is WAY cute! Good job taking the kids to the dentist. Tell Aiden that 2 cavities isn't that bad. It could be worse. Livia had 4 in ONE visit!!!! What kind of a mom takes her kids to the DENTIST on their day OFF of school though!??! ;)
