Carol Channing in the house!

One of Baikal's friends gave her an authentic Carol Channing ventriloquist doll for her birthday. It was a big hit.

Children's service

Baikal wanted to be a donkey for this year's Children's service at our church. My sister and mom made this outfit out of a track suit. They are so crafty!

We're going on a bear hunt

For Baikal's third birthday we went on a bear hunt! The kids got binoculars and maps to find some bears in Grant Park. After all of the bears were found, we headed over to the Millage fountain for story time. What a surprise to see a big bear (Matt in bear costume...I had no idea about this...a total surprise!). After the bear said good bye, we read three stories about bears. Then it was back home to sing Happy Birthday and enjoy cupcakes! A great party!

Dad's home

When Matt comes home, the kids light up! Last night he came home right after bath. The kids gave him a big hug and then were ready to play.


Playdate with Jack

Beth and I took the kids to the Atlanta Zoo for the naming ceremony of the new baby panda. It was Jack's first trip to the zoo. He was unimpressed, and slept most of the time. After the zoo, the Frilingos family came over for lunch. Jack was unimpressed, and slept most of the time.

Rybolt turns 1

Rybolt is now a one year old! He enjoyed his cake and eating it too. Baikal gave her little brother a card and enjoyed helping him unwrap and play with his toys. Matt and I are so happy to have him in our lives. He has made 2008 a wonderful year.
