Here is Ama playing with a paper stoplight she brought home from kindergarten in Fall 2011 (age 5). She absolutely LOVED kindergarten, especially her best friend Freya and her teacher Gwen!

Ama's Hello Show Fall 2011

Here is Ama doing a combination of two of her favorite things: making up songs and making up shows. She enjoys doing both of these things whether or not anyone is watching, and sometimes they are VERY long! She is five years old.

Cook's First Cell Phone!

Cook got his first cell phone at the beginnning of 5th grade, just after we moved to Minneapolis. He had been begging for one for a long time, so he was SUPER excited!

We got insurance on it, which was a good thing because we ended up replacing it three times in the first year. Once he got a bum replacement, the other two times his phones got run over by cars. Well, live and learn. And get insurance...love you, Cook!
