whoops..stuck these in the wrong order. This was to be the finished product of the picture to follow. The work well as 'stylist' huh?

Here Alana convinced Zane to play "hair" (in her words)

Lydia playing with train set

Zane and Alana tangled up together trying to play with the train set.

Alana decided she wanted to follow Lydia in a class project. The idea was to follow verbal directions. Alana was told to find the paper that had a turtle on it and color it green. She has great control of hand movements and stayed in the lines...look at how the opposite hand is hold the paper, that was NOT a verbal direction, but right on que!

Lydia and Alana having snack time. They happened to be looking at another kids to spilled their milk as I took this picture. : )


Alana was asked by our teacher to color an animal...her version: Well, look close
It's a SPIDER!




Alana working on a puzzle...what a serious face. She really took preschool very "seriously"

See what I mean?

Alana all tucked in for movie time with all of us!

You can see here, Lydia forgot to put her glasses on. :)

There now she has them on...what a GREAT PICTURE!!

Yep, caught them watching the boob-tube before bedtime! ; )

We are enjoying the beginning of Spring Break with Gramma and Grampa Ziller. Anxiously awaiting the warmer weather, so we can ride bikes and go to the parks

This was 3 weeks post surgery on Jeremy's Bicep Tendon Repair. He ruptured it at work July 31st. Surgery was October 13th. Slow healing but it looks better than this now. He attends Occupational Therapy 3 days a week. OUCH!!
