Day at the Farm

















Emily's preschool class had a field trip to Wheeler Historic Farm today. Jenna and Brenna joined in the festivities and got to see ducks, geese, pigs, horses, cows, sheep, roosters, etc. (pretty much all the typical farm animals). Emily was a little overwhelmed at the ducks and geese approaching her for food. Brenna was nearly nubbed to death by aggressive geese who wanted the sandwich she was carrying and did not care that she was trying to eat it. We have no pictures of that as Jenna had to rescue her.

Emily loves her preschool and her preschool friends. It doesn't hurt that the gender composition is much like home with 9 girls and 1 boy.



Brenna thought she made friends with a rooster, but I guess he had a different idea. Who knew the farm could be so dangerous.

Signing Time!!!

Tonight Jenna, Lindsay, and Emily went with the Cains and the Hawkers to see Signing Time live! For those of you who don't know, Signing Time is a TV show that teaches sign language to the pre-K to 1st grade range. It is Emily's favorite television show bar none, and we think she has a talent for sign language. For those of you locally, it is on UEN (channel 9) Monday's at 12:30. Emily loved the show and wants to go to Signing Time for her birthday in May. She loves to karaoke with her Signing Time CD and is happy to share all the signs with anyone who asks.

Robert Goes Under the Knife

With the hope of eliminating his frequent bouts of Strep Throat, Robert had his tonsils and adnoids removed today. Everything went well in the surgery and he now has two weeks of Lortab and Percocet and jell-o to look forward to. Papa and Grandma Miller sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers and his colleagues at work sent a nice fruit bouque that the girls enjoyed eating.
