The B-I-B-L-E

Joseph was walking around the house singing The B-I-B-L-E, and I just had to get it on video.

2008 State Fair

We went to the state fair last Sunday with all the kids.

All four kids, waiting to ride the train.




Katherine's first time on a large horse (not a pony).



Joey rode a pony, with Jon's help.



He loves the little rides.



He felt like a big boy on the motorcycle.



He rode this ride twice. I think he actually believed he was driving!

Playing at the Park

I took the kids to the new playground at the Sedgwick County Park.

Joseph couldn't quite get the sand to go where he wanted, but he tried.




This was Katherine's favorite thing in the park. She just kept spinning and spinning.

First Day of School

Katherine started Kindergarten this week. She is going to the same school where she went to Pre-K. They have changed the name of the school from The ECAP Academy to The Paige Academy - ECAP. Even though she was sad to leave Karla's she was excited about starting school.


Since we could no longer take Joey to Karla's we decided to put him into the same school that Katherine goes to. He did well with the testing, so he was accepted into the pre-school class. He goes full time, so it has been an adjustment for him, but he is doing really well. I leave work now at 3:00 (instead of 5:00), so I can pick them up. They are getting home 2 hours earlier now than they did before.

Old Settlers Day

We went to the parade in Mulvane last Saturday. At first, Katherine wasn't sure how to get the candy we promised her, but she figured it out.

Last Day at Karla's

August 15th was the kids' last day at Karla's house. Both kids have been going to her daycare since a few months old. Katherine first started going there on Dec 16, 2002. Karla has been a HUGE part of their lives, so it was bittersweet. Karla closed her daycare after 33 years to go into full time counselling. Katherine would have been leaving there to start school anyway, but we had to find something for Joseph.

On their last day, I let Katherine take my camera and take all the pictures she wanted. Here are a couple of my favorites (she obviously didn't actually take these).

Katherine on TV

Katherine's teacher was interviewed on KSN a couple of weeks ago. They invited 3 students, including Katherine. The kids didn't do much, but it was Katherine's 2 minutes of "fame".
