Our Family

A few weeks back we went bowling.  It was a reward for the boys for good behavior.  Here is a video and are some photos.  The last photo tells a sad story from the second game we bowled.

Finn received a Bugville Butterfly Tree House for his birthday.  The butterflies recently emerged from their cocoons and had a few moments of freedom today courtesy of Elliot.  Here are some photos:

Here are some recent photos of Elliot at school, Elliot and Finn playing soccer, and Finn's birthday party.  More photos are on Picasa: link.

When it's your birthday in Finn's Montessori class, you take a symbolic walk around the sun once for each of your years.  Your also share a photo and a few thoughts about each year.

Here are the photos Lisa selected for Finn's 5th birthday last week.
