We have added to the family - a set of Robo hamsters for the boys. Aden has named them Fasty and Fluffy. We are all a little jittery about handling rodents, especially me, but they are super adorable, low maintenance and give the boys an up-close look at animal life and responsibility. And we have a ball. An actual ball in which we put the hamster in and it rolls through the house amidst squeals of joy and laughter.

That's Fluffy with the brown face, and Fasty has more white on her face.
(Both girls).

In other news, we've been getting more involved with our church and I've even joined a study group on this book. I've also joined the PTA as the Reflections Program Chair, which means I'm heading up an art program within the school. So far it's been hectic, as I'm discovering that you really can't be a working mom and be a part of the PTA board. Now I know for next year.

We recently had our family pictures taken as well. Here's a sneak peek. Oh how I love how snuggly Ethan was during this session!
