Dance Recital

 

 

 

Sonja had her first dance recital today.  For the past few weeks she has been in a "pre" ballet class.  Today's theme was "Alice in Wonderland" and her class did the white rabbit portion. 

Great-Grandpa Overlund

Sonja's Great-Grandpa Overlund passed away today. He will be terribly missed.

Snow Day

We had some snow last week. We took a walk as a family to the park. Sonja learned about sledding, snowballs, and snow angels. We tried to make a snowman, but it wouldn't stick. We all had a great time.

Trouble

Yesterday evening, Sonja kept me company while I shoveled the snow in front of our building. We were having a pretty fun time when out of the blue she said, "Hey Dad! Lets steal a car!"
I have no idea where she got the idea. I talked her out of it, for now.

Good Morning 3!

This is our annual birthday photo of Sonja @ 3:25 am.
She's not going to think this is too funny in a few years :)

Patilda

Meet the newest member of our household: Patilda the Caterpillar! Patilda was found in a bunch of celery we bought last week. Rather than throw her outside where she could eat our plants, we decided to keep her. I'm hoping that she will form some kind of cocoon before turning into a butterfly or moth.

Regarding the name, Sonja picked it. I was pushing for Atilla the Catapilla since it invade our home, but Sonja suggested Patilda. The day before we had been at a birthday party for our friend Matilda.

Painted Toenails

Sonja was very pleased to get her toenails painted with Aunt Lori and Emma.
