Young Masters and a New Soccer Season

On Monday, Ian brought a letter home that said one of his art works was chosen for the school district's art show. I was so proud of him! Then the next day (the day of the art show), Kaelyn brought home a similar letter. So... of course we had to drop by for a few minutes after Ian's soccer practice (he's already had his first two practices). Here are the pictures and we're so proud of 'Master' Kaelyn and 'Master' Ian!

At the entrance of the Young Masters exhibit. Annika had to sneak into the picture too, of course.

Kaelyn standing underneath her water color. It's a beautiful sun, sky and beach (I think)


Ian next to his drawing of a house and car (I wonder if it's ours)

Ian at soccer practice. It was really bright and sunny.

Of course I ended up taking more pictures of Luke than of Ian

Lief is Dutch for sweet or cute. My favorite shirt!

The other day, I heard the faucet in the bathroom running and found Annika trying to wash off the cream she had smeared allover herself and her clothes and the floor...

Kaelyn had her first soccer practice this week. She's on an all girls team this time and the coach seems great, he has a lot of experience and during practice they would count to ten in English, then in Spanish and then in Japanese!

Kaelyn had a lot of fun and I think she'll do great, being new on the team. I met one of the other moms who is having a baby next month.

Ian had his first game this morning. Two of his buddies from church are on the same team. They did great. I'm pretty sure his team won. Ian scored twice! He did great, I didn't take any pictures because I was feeding Luke the whole time. That little boy can eat!

And last but not least, a 'brothers' picture of Ian and Luke. Ian loves, loves, loves his little brother and asks to hold him all the time as do his sisters).
