Julian's DS

The game Julian got for Christmas has been a big hit for everyone in the house. Kathryn likes playing, but even more than that, she likes watching everyone else play. It's like TV! Julian gets a little testy when he plays, so I wanted to get this picture of him letting her watch.

Kathryn

Two updates:

1) Finally, Katie has gotten the hoop earrings she has wanted since getting her ears pierced. They were hard to get in, and I don't think I'll be able to get her to let me do it again (we'll have to get a different kind of hoops for her next time).

2) She lost her first tooth! Somehow, she thinks this means she doesn't have to get braces now?? I don't know why - I don't think braces have even been mentioned for her, but anyway. Losing teeth means no braces!

Hiking at my school

This morning we went for a short hike on my college's campus. There is a nature trail which is 3 miles long. At least I think I was told it is 3 miles long. I didn't take my pedometer and can't remember if that's what my professor told me. This is the trail my environmental biology labs play around in. We all needed to get out of the house for a bit, and the weather was so nice today. It was forcasted to get to 60 degrees, although I think it may have been warmer even than that.

The trail was nice because we were the only ones on it. Well, we did pass one man with his dog, but that was towards the end of the trail, and I think very close to his house. It was maintained, but not manicured at all. Fallen trees were mostly cut away from the path, but the path was something you had to actively look for. Julian said it was his favorite path so far, which is great since it's only 20 minutes from home. I had only been on the beginning part of it with my class, so it was nice to explore some new ground.

Here are some pictures. Nothing amazing, as you'll see. It was really just a patch of forest with a trail marked. But I really liked it!

Congratulations, Julian!

Last night, Julian finished his first T&T book! We are very proud of him - and he is really proud of himself.
