A Month in the Life of the Vanderkids

Today I finally had the initiative to start going through our family pictures on the computer (we are currently 4 months behind on this -- so doing the kids albums is not going to be fun!!) So here some pictures of the kids from the past month. This is the life of two little kids called Madeline and Luke.

















After a fun afternoon at the Forestry Farm zoo in Saskatoon last month.















The big, fat, happy goof in his high chair. It's struck me how odd it would be if we all ate the way babies do. Try tonight, and see if people look at you funny. Have your legs sticking out 90 degrees from your body, and keep your arms always in motion floating in front of you somewhere about shoulder level.




















Madeline with some of the "spoils" from her first trip to the dentist: a "bib" with dinosaurs on it and 2 plastic dinosaurs. Not pictured are her bag to hold all of her treats, which also included a bracelet and a big bird sticker. (Thanks, Linea!)















Drawing pictures with chalk on our driveway one evening.




















Luke wearing the Gap toque I found for myself at Value Village.















Madeline sitting in on a grade 6 class at Princess Margaret School. Did I mention the girl is obsessed with school? Every school we drive past she says "Mommy, that's my school! Someday I can go to it." "Someday I will go to school like my cousins." And on and on... So she was very excited to get ready with her piggy pencil case and go to the class. Though, she didn't last long in the desk and spent most of her time drawing on the chalk board.















Bathtime for the Vanderkids.




















Luke in the front yard after church last Sunday. Can't get much cuter than that!!
