Eliza has had several doctor appointments recently. They have been hard on her and there are still more to come. Aunt Janna and her family sent Eliza a care package with a doll to help her be brave and a story. (I also received a couple books to help with the wait in the doctors office.)
Dad reading Eliza's new book to the kids.
It was really cute to see them all snuggled around listening to Dad.
These pictures are from conference. Since it starts at noon here we were able to get out and get some errands taken care of before it started. It was really sweet to see the kids sitting with Andy watching conference.
Vocabulary Parade
This was the second annual vocabulary parade at the school. Each kid is suppose to pick a word and then make a poster or dress as that word. The boys chose their words at school and we made their posters at home.
Bradley with his poster. He really wanted to dress like Captain America for the parade because he fought for justice. I told him he was fine in his school clothes. There were several other kids dressed up at the parade so I probably should have let him.
Daniel wanted to do "yard sale," but I didn't want to have to figure that one out so I talked him into just plain old 'Yard.'
Nathan was just happy to get outside.
The boys were proud of how their posters turned out.

Last year we missed the parade because it didn't take them as long as they thought it would. This year we decided to just hang out up front until it started.
Where's Eliza?
Eliza the butterfly! She found really big leaves to use as her wings.
The parade started with kindergarten first.
Our friend Claudia, the girl Clyde, is in pink. She was Bejeweled.

This is our friend Chelsea.
Bradley's class finally came. Clyde was dressed like a dragon flying around a castle.

The parade turned out really well and the boys were excited to have the opportunity to walk around and wave to everyone.

I love the 3 feet in a yard. You are a genius!
I've never her of a word parade, but it is a great idea. It was good to see Andy in some pictures. That one conference picture shot suggests he was having a difficult time staying awake. Andy is one of my heroes. He has incredible endurance. (So does Karrie!)
