Ballet

Annelise started taking ballet this fall and she loves it. She doesn't always pay attention in class, but it is a class full of 4 and 5 year old girls. Here are some photos.

Annelise is on the right. She has her head turned (not paying attention) and is wearing a ponytail.

Belated Birthday

On July 5th, Annelise turned 4 years old. We had a birthday party for her. She had a great time with her friends and was just telling me about her special cupcake. That reminded me that I have not shared the photos here. It was a hot July day so we had a morning party. Because of the 4th of July holiday being on July 5th, we were able to have the party on her birthday. I am sorry I did not post these sooner. The first few pictures are from a few days after her birthday. We went hiking after church, then went to the park for fireworks in the evening.

Funny Videos

Caleb has been very funny lately. The first is just funny. The second video is something he started doing all by himself. I don't know where he came up with the idea.

Niagara Falls

We went to Niagara Falls in May. Here are more photos from the trip. If you start at the bottom and work your way back up, you will see the pictures in order.

Our last stop before heading home. The water behind us is rushing towards the falls.

Annelise enjoyed the field of flowers as much as anything else.

Cave of the Winds- walking around the base of the falls, lots of spray and cold water running over our feet.

Caleb is smiling because he is no longer in the spray from the waterfall (river going away from falls)
