Still Alive!

It's been awhile since I last posted, but we're still alive! I thought I'd post some photos of the kids' Christmas programs. The first graders at Kaitlyn's school performed a play called "Are You Smarter Than a First Grader?". It was really entertaining, and Kaitlyn did a good job being a marcher. Her teacher told me it brought tears to her eyes because Kaitlyn did so well and took her "responsibility" so seriously!

This week we watched the kids perform in a play for their after-school program. Once again, Kaitlyn had a big job to do. She placed ornaments on the tree as other children talked about the significance of the ornament. At one point, PaPa and I thought she was about to get into a fight with another little boy, but she managed to restrain herself. I was certain someone was going to fall off the stage! Caleb played a shepherd and did a fabulous job saying his lines! We had practiced his lines all month, and I had tried to convince him to say them with enthusiasm. However, he informed me the night of the program that he would NOT be saying his lines like I taught him! Oh well, he did great anyway!
