Building Pictures

Sorry this took so long. Here are pictures of the old building and the new building.


Old Building is on the left. This is the front office and Dave's office.

New Building is on the right. This is the front office. The Front desk and Debbi's office are behind the camera. The hall has 4 more offices, a bathroom and a break room. There is also a very large art room at the end of the hall.

On Sunday

this boy


took all of the wood blocks out of this bucket


And put them all
(and as many as he could from the ground)
into this garbage can


Until it was as full as it could be

And was SOOO proud of himself!

Developments

These past two days have been big ones in the Riley/Emily department.
First Emily
The girl is growing up and I'm not too happy about it! I have decided that my favorite Emily age is 2 and 3 months. This fourth month is just too much! :) She always wants to be up up up. No more laying down for her! Luckily, we have a roundabout and a doorway jumper that she can be in and I can get something done while she is content. She has also perfected rolling over. THIS has been more of an issue than I ever thought was possible. Here's why. She sleeps on her stomach. I know, she's not supposed too, but she sleeps better that way and I was desperate. Riley was a back sleeper so I didn't encounter this with him-she scoots herself out of her blankets and rolls over when she is supposed to be going to sleep! So I put her in her bed, awake but drowsy, cover her up, and leave the room. About 10 seconds later, I hear this screeching (another new development this past week-her way of talking). When I go into her room, this is what I find.

It's playtime right?


In Riley news...

Riley has always been a scaredy cat. He walked late because he was worried about falling down and he wont do anything remotely intimidating to him which is just about everything. I really can't blame him, he is a total cluts. He falls at least once every day. Today we went to the park. He decided he wanted to climb up the bars that are too big for him and go down the curly slide he had never been on before and he wanted to do it, "all byself me!" And he did! It may not seem like much to you, but it was a monumental day in the Olsen household.

Of course

I have to share the moment
