More family pictures

Van Duyne Family Photo Shoot (3/27/10)

We finally were able to meet and get the family pictures taken. Overall, it was an easy time - a few who were easily distracted - but we were able to get quite a few good shots. Right now the third generation is Micaela 8, Alyssa 6, James 5, Audrey 3, Josiah 3, Kaden 16 months.

Alyssa Lost 2nd Tooth

On Monday morning (3/22), Alyssa was eating breakfast and started to complain that her tooth felt really weird. I looked at it and saw that it was turned sideways in her mouth, so I reaching in and pulled it out. Her first adult tooth is coming in pretty well, so she doesn't have a huge hole. And because it is the bottom teeth, we don't really notice it that much. Although, she claims that she can't eat apples right now.

New Member of the Family

The newest member of our family is...
Alpha the Beta fish.
It was a Christmas Present for the kids - who they picked out after Christmas.
(I know I am a little behind with the info.)

New Experience

Yesterday when I got out of the shower, it was really quiet, and I was starting to wonder where Josiah was. Then the phone rang. It was my neighbor wondering if I knew where he was. I said, "I hope he is with you?" He was. He wanted to go see her, so he put on his shoes, and walked next door, letting himself into her house. He assured her that I knew where he was and it was okay for him to play. Scary, really. But hopefully he now knows that he can't go outside without Mommy saying yes first.
