The Dragon and The Owl





Here are two of the best halloween trick or treaters in the whole wide world! We made both of the boys costumes this year, and it was so much fun. Anders was a magnificent dragon, and our little owl was quite a hoot too!

Late Night Chatter

Anders fell asleep first, and there I was with a chatter bug. Kuba just wasn't tired enough, or perhaps he was overtired. Either way, he was awake enough that I decided to just have a conversation with him or at least direct his conversation.  I asked him what were his favorite things to eat...and he responded without hesitation...pizza, kiwi, yogurt and cookies. Then I asked him about his pre-school, and finally I asked him about his brother. At that moment, he sat up, and with eyes wide open proclaimed "Anders is awesome."

In our Garden





A few snapshots of Kuba in the garden...

Anders and the Digital Camera


Anders was fascinated with the digital camera the other evening, and so I turned him loose with it. Here is a photo collage of our home from his perspective. He was so totally captivated by the entire experience. I think we need to find a camera just for him. (If you click on the photo, I think you can get a zoomed in view.)

Back to School

It's that time of year again!
Anders begins his new pre-school next week,and I have been back for almost 2 full weeks now. Tomorrow is my first day with kids though; the previous time was spent in a 4 day graduate class and in pre-service work at both schools.

OH, and for those of you who I haven't spoken to, I recently accepted a new half- time position at an elementary school a half mile from my house. This means I am now working at 2 different schools, switching back and forth each day.

I am the new "Integrated Arts Coach" and so far it has been great. I am not teaching, but working with the school and the staff to help fully integrate the arts into their curriculum. I think that is a little bit exciting, don't you think? And, it fits my personality so well. I am really excited about it.

More on this later...
And more on Anders transition into his new school. Kuba will be joining him there in a couple of months. We are quite excited about this.

Paths





I forgot that I snapped these shots of the boys when we were out on a hike. I thought they were too good to miss the blog.
As you might have guessed, the boardwalk was especially fun.
