Quick Note...

Sorry there are no pictures. I'm writing this from Ben's computer. Our computer is experiencing technical difficulties. Karis and I have also been sick all day. Poor Ben is taking care of his family on his last day of vacation. It sound like things may last until tomorrow. Once we and computer are back in order, we'll have a PSU picture for you!

School and Boating

We were invited on the Kothari's boat last night for dinner and a cruise. What a blast! The weather was perfect, the food was great, and the conversation was lively!
Karis enjoyed hanging out with Brittany and Samantha. They decided to go below deck and rest in the bed for a while.

Karis wanted to help clean the boat...

The Kothari's boat.

Oh, and Karis enjoyed her first day of school!

Catching you up!!!!

The next three entries are kind of a running commentary of our past three weeks. This picture was taken last night of Timothy. He's getting so much more expressive. I love to catch it on "film" as much as possible.
Karis started Kindergarten this week. Yesterday included a 1 hour session at her school. Karis is so proud to go to school. Here she is in front of the Kindergarten Center's sign.

This is Karis and her teacher, Ms. Pratt. We've heard lots of good things about her from other parents. I look forward to seeing what Karis learns this year.

Today was the first full day of school. This picture was taken this morning at Karis's daycare with her friends Brynn and McKenna. They will take the bus from daycare every morning. We will also pick her up there in the afternoon.

THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL OUTFIT!

Karis was able to give Timothy a bottle on August 30th...

she was very concerned about doing it right!
Notice the "plaid" shirt that Timothy is wearing. He got lots of complements at church. Karis is also wearing a Steelers shirt. She also got a lot of attention!

A quick picture at the Lady of Guadalupe Shrine in south La Crosse. We spent the day touring the grounds on August 28th.

Timothy received his first bottle of breast milk on August 22nd. He took it with no major problems. Ben was excited to be able to be a part of the feeding process.
Notice Karis's hand "helping out" during the feeding.

A very loving sister was concerned about her brother's feeding.

This is Karis and Adelaide at our life group outing on August 23rd. We hung out at Mike and Kerri's farm in Houston, Minnesota.

August 27th was Timothy's welcome party with my co-workers. He's showing off his new hat that was made by Sue Leifer.
