Final three pictures from today's art class!

Hi everyone, quite a few pictures today, mainly b/c I couldn't decide which facial expression displayed Kendal's intensity as she was painting, so I thought I would send them all.

The first picture is of our neighbor, Ryan. He and Kendal are quite fond of each other. He has a sister who is 5 and the three of them play so well together. This is a picture of Ryan teaching Kendal how to play a car racing game on the computer.

The next several pictures are from today's trip to the Greek Festival. Kendal wanted to paint a picture at the Children's Art area. In the first shot, she is coloring the canvas, then adding small flowers, then some fill in color. She did a great job with little help. The teachers were there mainly to supply the paint and have the kids learn to paint in stages. Each student picked their own colors and own themes. I just had to send the pictures to show you her facial expressions and the last being her first masterpiece.

Soccer

Well, not the best photo of me in the world, but had to show you Kendal's best soccer position - she isn't enjoying this new sport too much. In the 2 games we have played, she probably has gotten on the field for a total of 45 seconds. We will keep it up for this season, but might hang up the soccer shoes after the final game if she decides this isn't her cup of tea.

Hi,
We had a great weekend going to a family day at the local botanical gardens. A man was creating sketches and Kendal was begging to have one done, so here it is!

Hi,
I do not plan on posting just anything to this blog, but I did think this was important enough to pass along to all my friends...

Hi guys, Finally the party is over. We had Kendal's 4th birthday party today - here are a few picture of the wonderful event. I think all the kids had a great time.

We are now at one of Kendal's favorite friends Nye's birthday party. He had a gymnastic
party similiar to the one we are having today, the 9th. The kids had so much fun. The second picture is a car that Kendal is attempting to ride backwards down this small sliding board. I wish I could have caught a picture at the end of the ride, she wasn't quite as happy has she was in these pictures. The last one displays my little monkey in the making.

Hi, wanted to pass along some of Kendal's first soccer pictures. This is just a practice day. Kendal is on a tykes team through our church, Prince of Peace. There must have been 50 little ones playing in the 3 year old teams. Kendal's birthday fell just shy of being on the 4 year old team, but since she is now height deprived, this works out to her benefit. I'll keep you posted to her progress. She has already told me she doesn't want to play anymore, let's hope that changes since we haven't had one game yet.

Play Time

Ok, this isn't the best picture, but this one turned out better than the others. I wanted to show you guys the kids next door that Kendal has so much fun playing with. I get to double dip and show the patio area. I've kinda made it into a play/casual area.

I had no idea Jamie Lee was so talented. This book is adorable. Kendal had me read this along with the others at least three times the first night. She wanted to say thank you so much for thinking of her on her 4th birthday.

Kendal's 4th Birthday Presents

Kendal wanted to say thank you so much for these books. She had me read the Happy book at least three times the first night. She is also sitting down and writing her letters nightly. These were perfect! Thanks so much.
