A Day at the Zoo

Last week we went on a field trip with Ethan's pre-school class to the Denver Zoo. We had a great time. The kids were each given a crayon and a laminated card with several zoo animals on it. This kept them entertained and involved in finding each of the animals that were on the card at the zoo. His pre-school teachers are awesome and very creative, Ethan has had such a great pre-school experience this year. Here are a few pictures from our little adventure.

A little "Kudos" for Marissa

Recently, Marissa's Art work was selected to be part of the school districts art show. Here is her interpretation of a Picasso portrait. It is a picture of a half girl/half swimmer.


I also wanted to give Marissa "Kudos" for having her poem from school selected to be published in the spring 2008 hardbound anthology A Celebration of Young Poets.

"Kudos" to you!!

Brotherly Love

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy watching my boys play together. Although they are six years apart in age, it seems to make no difference. Little Ethan continues to idolize his brother Christian in everything he does and says. It is the cutest thing ever. While Christian is at school Ethan will go into Christian's room and put on his soccer or basketball jersey and wear it all day. Ethan also makes sure that if we are out shopping and he gets a treat, he makes sure he gets one for brother as well. One of my favorite things that Ethan has been doing lately is, he will draw a picture for his brother, once he is done he then tapes the picture to his brothers bedroom wall.

(Below is a picture of Ethan asleep in his brothers soccer jersey.)



(Here is another picture of the boys playing baseball outside.)

Our living room and loft tend to be our indoor football, soccer,baseball and basketball fields. Tackles and Touchdowns, Home runs and strikeouts, Goals and Penalty kicks are just another day in the Aguirre house rain or shine.
I love these two boys and their brotherly love!
