It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

It was so nice outside today-almost 73 degrees!- that we just had to go outside and play with some of Keller's new Christmas toys. Keller loves loves loves his basketball goal and has been so sad that is has been too cold to go play outside.

 




As fun as it is, you know the attention span of a 2 year old. So, after just a few minutes of basketball, it was time to move on to something else-chalk! Playing with chalk is just fine with me; in fact, I love it more than he does, I think. However, since an artist I am not, I pretty much just draw flowers and write our names in all kinds of pretty colors. Here's the funny part, anytime Keller sees a flower-whether it's for real, in a book, magazine, or even chalk-he thinks he has to smell it. Hence this pic:
And just to show you how seriously he sniffs it, look at the chalk on his nose!


It's hard to see because it's yellow, but it's there!

He also got a new 4-wheeler from his Uncle Adam, Aunt Ingrid, and Karis.
Yeah, he'll ride it for all of about 30 seconds, but he really prefers to push it. Both forward...


---and backward...

I know pushing it isn't really good for it, considering I can hear the motor grinding the whole time he pushes it, but it entertains him, so why stop?
We hope tomorrow brings more sunny days pushing the clouds away.

P.S.- Yes, it's Sesame Street. It goes 'round and 'round my head all day long!

Terra Verde sings at Rivermont

I say it all the time, but I will say it again--we are SO HAPPY that we have found Terra Verde Discovery School for Keller to attend. This year has been amazing. We have gone from having a child who HATED going to school everyday the last two years to having a little boy who can't wait to get there in the morning.  His teacher, Ms. Lindsay Berryhill, is an amazing woman who has gotten Keller to tune in and love learning.  Among the wonderful things he has done in first grade this year, including learning Mandarin, having a lemonade stand to earn money to build an animal hospital for dramatic play, visiting The Orr Family Farm, having a manners lunch at Charlestons, and many more things, he also had the opportunity to sing Christmas carols with his 89 other school mates at Rivermont Retirement Home.  The seniors at the home were so entered by these children and we were truly impressed with how well they all behaved. The singing was excellent, but what was truly inspiring w...

It's been ENTIRELY too long!

Clearly Keller is distraught that it has been so long since my last posting. It has been almost two weeks since my last blog post. These last two weeks at school have been so busy that when I come home at night the last thing I want to do is get on the computer. Plus, working so much has not left me ample time to get good shots of Keller. When we're playing and he does something funny I never have the camera around. However, as a good change of pace I do have some good video taken from this weekend. My mom keeps Keller 2-3 days a week and for some reason she decided the boy does not have enough toys. As if...(haha, throwback to Clueless). So, she decided Keller needed to work on being the next Tiger Woods (before all the you know). Anyway, this is Keller with his very first set of golf clubs. At first glance, he seems like a natural... Doesn't it look like he hit the ball right into the cup and is now getting the ball out of his hole-in-one? We he did get it in the cup ...
