Creations

We planted a garden, and an herb garden. Then Liz and I made these cool garden markers for the herb garden. Aren't they neat?










Onto another creation.
So, do you know what these are?

They may look like they're just marshmallows on toothpicks. To Lizzy they are three dimensional geometrical shapes. She spent 2 hours last night making these and the whole time she didn't stop talking about which 3D shape was her favorite. I think it's a toss up between a triangular prism, a sphere and a pyramid. She told me that she's setting up shop and taking orders.

Robot Arm

Here's a quick update:

Sam is in a cast. I was gone (out with my visiting teacher) when it happened. He jumped off Lizzy's bed and dislocated his elbow. I took him to the ER and now he has what he calls a
ROBOT ARM.





Liz ran in a race yesterday. Here's a few photo's: (she did her own hair, don't you love the '80's sweatband?)







Also, I took off the quote part on my blog but here's a few good ones:

A few days ago Liz was in trouble and ran to her room. I opened her door and she said, "I'm unavailable right now!"

A few nights later at bedtime Phil tucked her in and was leaving the room when she said, "But daddy, I'm feeling forlorn and scared."

We were at a baptism a few weeks ago and when the baptized girl left to change her clothes Sam asked, "Where'd Violet go?" I said, "To get changed." He thought about it and a bit confused he asked, "To change her diaper?"

That's it for updates right now.
