Name that Tune

Day 25 August 15

Adriana woke up with her pajamas like this. I think it is pretty amazing. How did she do that in her sleep?Day 26, August 16th
We went to New York City to see Emily and Jacob. It was a lot of fun (minus Nikolay getting frustrated finding parking spaces) and so good to see them and spend time. Emily went with us to the American Museum of Natural History and to Central Park and then Jacob met up with us at Max Brenner later.
Emily took this picture of us in Central Park, on our way to the Belvedere Castle. Our last family picture was in February. I guess we'll keep trying to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.

Day 27, August 17th
I didn't remember to take my POD until it all the kids were asleep, so it was either Nikolay or Taz. I finally figured out how to get him to smile, I just laugh right before I click and that makes him laugh. I think I'll experiment more with black and white.

This is Annika's fake smile for the camera. She is holding walnuts that fall on the ground on our way to our trail in Lock Ridge Park. She collected 20 of them that day.

Day 30, August 20th

The kids and I were sitting on our bed waiting for Nikolay to finish with the computer so that we could read the Book of Mormon together and have our prayer. So, we started playing "name that tune" with the xylophone. I played "I'm a Little Teacup" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Then Ariel and Adriana played songs that they are learning on the piano. After we exhausted our repertoires, they started making up songs, but the catch was that the rest of us were still supposed to guess the words to their made up songs. I was the only one who found it funny. Everyone else was trying their darnedest to guess the made up words.
