Sara wants to be just like her big brother and sister which includes playing the piano. Her aimless plunking has gotten remarkably better over the past year and actually sounds musical now.
MaryKate drew this picture of her baby sister, Sara, portraying an almost daily occurrence at our house... Sara watching Blue's Clue's, and not just ANY Blue's Clue's but the dinosaur special where shovel is scared of the dinosaur footprints he and pail found in their backyard. If you've seen this episode as often as we have in our house you could tell exactly what MaryKate drew.

And this picture is worth displaying because it is the first time Sara EVER colored in nursery. Usually she is too upset to do anything as enjoyable as this so it was a huge breakthrough for us that she relaxed enough to participate.

Nikolai is loving his art class at school. They made these 3-D parrots a few weeks back. He loves carrying his around on his shoulder or arm.

Best of all, the four kids all dressed up in their Sunday garb, freezing outside before church.
