Ident- a - kid

I can confidently say that this year's ident-a-kid ID is a billion times better than last year's...and I was going to do a side by side of them, but I cannot find it! Last year she looked like she had went on a drinking binge the night before, she had bags under her eyes and she was completely disheveled (she was in her sleep walking stage). This year, she is still disheveled, but the eyes are bright, alert, and this just looks like Naomi. I love that smile kid...melts my heart and makes me forget that we had an argument 5 seconds after you woke up this morning...

bird brain

to say she is obsessed is probably being nice....
this is her field journal:

 notice the falcon wing movement as it is swooping down...nailed it.

These are drawings that are found around our house...on a DAILY basis.

Easter 2012

We had a great Easter this year- filled with family, food and some goodies from the Easter bunny. The Easter bunny was smart and decided to only get Naomi animals this year... 2 birds to be exact...a budgie (it is a parakeet people, even Naomi has me calling it by its real name)...and a blue macaw. That Easter bunny sure knows our kids...Ellis got a train and some big ole' legos.

 Naomi set the table for Easter lunch, she was very proud of her placement of everything- we always use the tablecloth my grandmother gave us for special occasions!

 Ellis had a good time playing with Haypee

 

The whole crew- we are so grateful they live so close

Spring Break 2012

We had a great week for Naomi's spring break last week. I still had to work, and we didn't go out of town...but we had a great time and made a lot of plans with friends from school, the gym and even an afternoon zoo date with daddy!

 We did a lot of playing around outside all week

Ellis' "heaven" as Naomi calls it... a train. We actually rode the train and he loved it.

Fun at the zoo with the Chun ladies!

That is how I felt too after the week with Naomi off of school...
