What have we been up to?




The month of November is flying by. I can't believe that Thanksgiving is around the corner and through the woods already. Rylie was Student of the Month for her Health Enhancement class (aka gym)at school, so she was in the Student of the Month assembly. We were very proud. The marched into the gym for the assembly to "Eye of the Tiger", very funny. They are the Eastgate Tigers, so it was appropriate. Rori is talking and talking and talking. She has imaginary conversations on retired cell phones. She likes to do things herself and is very independent.

Ryle and Rori got new dresses and they are very cute!


Mark just got back from New York for work. He was just outside of New York City and saw a couple of celebrities. He saw Tyra Banks coming out of the company he was auditing and tried to take a photo but was stifled by the company receptionist. He also saw hockey player, Mark Messier. (I don't know who this is, but we saw him on TV last night as well.) He went into Manhattan one day and went to the Metropolitan Museum and Times Square.

Seuss-tastic



Rylie is learning a lot in kindergarten. Her teacher told the class if there is a book they can read all by themselves and they practice, they can bring it to school and read it to the class. Rylie decided to do this and read "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss to her class last week. It is 61 pages long, so it took her two different days to finish it. She took her own pictures of herself and the book!

Halloween fun!

We'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

A Little Space of My Own

Rori seems to love to get into small confined spaces Apparently claustrophobia is not something she suffers from. Take a look at the funny places she likes to be.



We were taking out the cabinets in our kitchen and this is Rori helping.






After we got the new cabinet put in, Rori decided to move in with her banana. You can just see her shoes neatly placed and her stuffed panda in the background of the cabinet. All of the comforts of home!
