 Scott has to do current events presentations in his class-this was his second.  Greg told him that if he would read the book first, Greg would take him to see the movie of the Hobbit-I believe it comes out today-Dec 13th.  In looking online to help him with research, I managed to waste an entire afternoon reading about beautiful cool places (some related to the Hobbit and others not) that you can visit in New Zealand!

 He was proud of the poster that he had made!

Below are pictures of the kids playing with the toys sent back home from Australia with Greg when he got to see our friends, Brian and Gina and their kids.  The boys got Spiderman planes that you shoot with a rubber band and Ashley some littlest pet shop animals that she loved.  The airplanes were VERY popular!

 Popular with the big kid too!

 She calls herself my baking helper and doesn't want to do anything in the kitchen without her apron on!

 These are the wood carvings we bought in Malapascua-from the uncle of the guy we dived with-a thresher shark and a manta ray-very cool!

 Ashley draws A LOT these days!  The 2 girls are she and Abby Jane and the tall people are me and Greg's sister Emily!  I am so thrilled that she is old enough to remember and talks about family from home, but it makes me sad too when she says things like "Mommy I wish Abby Jane could come and ride the roller coaster at the mall with us"

 Doing tricks with Daddy!

 A cozy snuggle with Daddy-look how long her pigtails are getting-can't believe that she will be 5 on her birthday!
