Haircuts!

This is Thomas before his haircut, normally I've never considered cutting the other boys hair this soon but with Thomas I couldn't help it. I measured his hair it was 3 inches long and would only stand straight up!

This is the after picture, I can't tell if he looks older or younger. One things for sure; he sure does have a cute head.


Sorry I don't have a before pic of Ashley.Let me just say it was really long and she was ready for something new. Does she look cute or what? {=

Nativity video

Every year at the schools here they perform a nativity play, this year at the kids school Ashley played the part of Mary and Alan was one of the Sheep. They both love singing and since Ashley joined the singing and drama club she seems to be really into singing for anyone who will listen. Needless to say we are really proud of them both!

Fall/ Halloween

Ashley and Alan decided to becomes pirates this year thanks to the veggietales movie that came out recently.

:)

Daniel decided right after this picture was taken that he really didn't like the smell of pumpkins!

Ashley loves anything that involves art and creativity. I let the older kids carve thier own pumpkins with safety knives, they really like doing it on thier own.


You just have to love his concentration and artistic ability.

Ashley looks innocent here, but she had just finished burying alan (to the right) in leaves.

Believe it or not, I think Daniel threw the most leaves.

WIPED OUT!

Thomas

Thomas Micheal Stutzman- Born Sept. 11, 2008

This is his usual expression, kind of in between curious and half smiling.

As you can see Thomas looks alot like his daddy when he was a baby.

Thomas came out sucking on everything, so I think it was only natural

for him to find his thumb so soon

Brotherly Love. What can I say? These boys love to cuddle!

This is pretty much how Thomas gets around. Baby slings are great, especially when you need both hands to take care of other kids! He pretty much stays asleep whenever he's in it.

London

We recently took a trip into London with Alans Mom and Grandma while they were here. The london eye is definetly rated up there for cool things to do in London. We were on the river Thames overlooking Big Ben and the houses of parliment.

Ashley and Alan liked being on top of everything and being able to see so far. I can't help it but being up there made me think of Mary Poppins.

We found a really cool open air market while walking to our bus stop. These little streets kept winding around each other, the market was huge.

This is the Tower of London, we wanted to go inside but we only had two days in London and the tower takes a full day to walk through.

Westminster Chapel was right across the street from Big Ben.

Buckingham Palace.
