Termite update

Yesterday, the termite people came out and spot treated our basement with poison to get rid of the termites. They had to drill through the cement, shoot the poison into the soil below and repair the holes with more cement. I was hoping that I could close up the holes in the laundry room wall but the pest control guy said it would be best not to disturb the wall for another month, just to make sure the termites take the poison back to the colony and kill them all off. Not very nice, I know but I have to protect my house from those wood-eating critters!

Spencer's vocabulary update

WOW! Spencer's vocabulary grows about 2 words every day! Here are the newest additions: tummy, no, cheese, sissy (sister), and down. I can't believe he is getting so big! Rubia is hardly going to recognize him when she gets home. :(

Eva's pre-school talent show

Last Thursday was Eva's end of the year pre-school program. I can't believe the year is over already! All the kids got dressed up in their Sunday best so they all looked so sharp! Here is Eva:
All the kids - with the help of the teacher - sang some songs and showed us some sign language they had learned throughout the year. Eva didn't participate all that much but she is one of the younger one. Hopefully she does better next year (she missed the deadline to start school this year so she will attend pre-school for one more year).
Then each of the kids performed a talent all by themselves! Eva sang "I love to see the Temple" and she did a great job! YEAH, Eva!
