Lucas - 2nd grade & Cricket

Our 2nd grader!
2nd grade
Lucas is loving second grade even though his best buddy at school is in the other class. There are 15 kids in his class and he definitely has homework each night. He was so excited last week to be chosen for the Grade 2&3 Mini-Cricket team. They played their first match this past Monday and tied 66-66. Cricket is a sport we are still learning and Lucas has been teaching us quite a bit so far. I thought I'd include a couple of pics from his match. You'll see him in his Cricket gear, then he got a turn to bowl (pitch) and then he had a turn at bat.

Time to say Goodbye

Family photo
Good cooking!
We were really spoiled on several occasions by Leland and Jean's cooking. Leland made his homemade pizza for us 3 times and Jean made cinnamon rolls (and taught Allison). She also made Dan a lemon pie and a banana cream pie. Whew! That was really good stuff!

We took Leland Jean to Milky Lane for their belated birthday treat!

I love how kids look at a menu and pick the coolest thing they see. Great choice Alexis!

The Lion Park

The Lion Park-1
Wow! What a picture for Africa! We had an awesome visit to the Lion Park on Tuesday. We got to pet 3 month old lion cubs, feed a giraffe and drive through 4 lion enclosures, 1 wild dog enclosure and a cheetah enclosure. We learned that lion cubs are allowed to be petted until 8 months and then they are moved to the "teenage" area. They were several lion cubs that were 6 months old and they were already quite large! It is such an experience to be up close and personal with them. Alexis wasn't too sure about touching any animals that day but she did enjoy looking at them. And when we took the picture up above with the giraffe we had to be very careful because it was eating something and spit was flying out in long strings. Gross! Thankfully it was a windy day so all that drool flew over our heads! Click on the pic below of Lucas & Joshua petting a lion cub to see lots more!

We visited Horwood Farm on Sunday afternoon. We like to spend our Sunday afternoons at a park with our kids. Grandma & Grandpa were very busy watching their grandchildrens' special tricks!

Then for dinner that night we went to a new restaurant called Papachino's. It was a great pizza place and very kid friendly. The kids got to make their own pizzas! Click below to see more.

Rebekah's 1st Birthday!

Rebekah's Bday-1
Rebekah's Bday-2
Rebekah celebrated her first birthday on December 31. We chose to wait to eat her cake until after Dan's parents arrived. That was a good decision because Rebekah actually had a miserable birthday with a high fever. She slept most of the day. But we've managed over several other days to finally compile a set of birthday snapshots to share with you! Enjoy!

Our 12th Anniversary!

Our 12th Anniversary!
On December 23 we celebrated 12 years of marriage! Wow! We just went out for dinner this week (since Grandma & Grandpa can watch the kids) to a restaurant called African Tribes. You can order all kinds of meat - kudu, impala, ostrich or warthog to name a few. We chose something we knew we'd like. Dan ordered a Tribal Skewer which had several kinds of meat on a huge 3 foot skewer. Too bad I forgot my camera that night! It was quite a sight.
