First "Official" Snow Day

Today the three of us had our "official" snow day. Ian's school was closed, City People's was closed & Dirk's work told him to stay home. We had 10 inches of snow! Our commute home last night was tedious, stressful & long! It took us 3 hours to get home. But we got home safely & to electricity. (a lot of people were not so fortunate).

Today we slept in till 7:30 (that's sleeping in to Ian). After his morning nap we took photos of the family out in the snow & headed to Issaquah to pick up last minute Thanksgiving items & the turkey from the butcher. We also picked up cupcakes for Ian's birthday celebration on Friday (Nov 26); we are celebrating with Granma & Granpa K on Friday. We also went out for lunch. When we got home, Ian practiced feeding himself some yogurt. It was very messy & hilarious! Before bed, Dirk & Ian played with Duplos. They seem to have a lot fun!

Lots of events this week!

Yesterday was DIrk's birthday & Ian's gift was to roll over! And over, and over! Dirk got it on video. Ian is very happy about this new accomplishment! He showed his teachers at school his new trick too by rolling all day.
He is becoming much more social & his personality is emerging.
Last week we went to Children's Hospital for the last time for awhile! Ian no longer has to wear his brace!! We are so glad because it was really torture putting him in it at bed time.
On May 8, Dirk, Ian & Mer all ran in the Mai Fest run in Leavenworth. We had a lot of fun. The weather was nice (but cold!) I was the only one that dressed up for the run, but I'm glad I did! It was fun! That was what I wanted to do for my Mother's Day. Actual Mother's Day was uneventful since I had to work.

May 13-15 Ian & Mer went up to Whidbey to visit the Island Grandparents. Granma Kay bought Ian a suit for an upcoming family wedding. Ian got his first balloon at Red Robin. We celebrated Dirk & Mer's birthdays and Mother's Day at Grandma & Grandpa Sorenson's. Ian gave his Grandmas art he did at school. Everyone had a good time!
