Austin

We went to the city wide picnic at RiverSide Park last night. Austin found a friend and went fishing. He had so many different stories.

Kalli

Kalli is into saying "actually". It's funny. She also loves to play the game on facebook, "YoVille". She'll take the guy and go all over the place. She'll go to the stores and buy things and to the cafe and eat. I love it.

Memorial Day Picnic

We went to the Arens in Nebraska celebrating Memorial Day. We enjoyed a day of friends. I would say over 60 people were there. The kids loved exploring the farm.

Federal Review

We had the Federal Review team in our home yesterday. South Dakota Social Services is being reviewed. It went good. I did bring up my concern that homosexuals were given marriage rites. I & Kim were told that there are 3 gay foster parents in South Dakota. -

Kalli

Kalli is learned a new dance. She watched Alisha Dawn do a drama skit. She does the dance to the music of "Dead Serious". She does it really good. We hear the song over and over again.

Potty Training

Kalli is in the process of potty training. She does it when she wants to. She's been our most difficult child when it comes to this.

Kalli

Kalli (2 yrs old) The other night she went around the room to each person. Kalli put her hand on each shoulder bowed her head, said a few words and went on to the next person. We loved it as she prayed for everyone.

Growing up

Kalli is getting more onry. She is going for the things she knows she can't have. She'll take the remote and pretent she's giving it back but standing just out of reach. When you try to get up she'll take off running - laughing.

Around

Kalli is getting into everything. She'll drop something and say "oh oh" while smiling. She goes to the things she knows she can't have. Right now it's cute but I'm sure that will wear off soon.

Stephanie

Stephanie was married a few weeks ago and moved to Chicago.

15 months old

Kalli is just looking for things to get into. I was reading and put down my book to get the baby whips she had just spread out on the floor. While I was picking up the baby whips she went over to my book and pulled out the book marker. (I'm just glad she didn't take my pop and dump out the soda.)

Stairs

Kalli is moving all over the place. When she's ready for bed she loves to climb the stairs to the second level. Every night she has to stop at the 3rd step and try to get something. She does go to bed OK. (As long as she's feeling alright.)
