In Need of an Update AKA The Longest Post EVER!

So 3 months later, I guess I should update this thing.  

We will start with Aylin's pre-schooling.  
Since I last wrote, we have covered letters O, P, D, Q, K, X and T and numbers 11-18.  Instead of boring you with lots of details we will just do a quick overview and highlight her favorite parts or what I have pictures of us doing.

O week: Owl, Octopus, Octagon 
Bible stories: One and Only God, Onesimus, Offerings

 (Aylin noticed that the eyes were like O's)
 (and the mirror- look at Hilton's cute face)
(Eating chocolate O's covered with sprinkles)

P week: Pirates, Penguins, Princesses, and Pancakes
Bible stories: Peter and Paul
(This is still hanging on my fridge because I LOVE IT)
 (Protection)
 (Give a PIG a PANCAKE)
(PRINCESS friends)

D week: Dinosaurs, Doughnuts, and Dad
Bible stories: Daniel and David
(Digging for Dinosaurs and Dirt)
(We took a field trip with our Doughnut buddies)

Q week: Quilt, quiver, Queen
Bible story: Queen Esther
I can't seem to find any pics from this week :( We worked on patterns and colored in a quilt.

K week: Kings, Kites, Koala Bears, Kisses and Kiki (grandma)
Bible story: King Solomon
(Kisses for daddy:)
  We also went to lunch with KiKi this week.

X week: Xylophones and X marks the spot treasure map
Bible Story: Xerxes and eXodus
We drew a very simple map of our area and put X's on her favorite places (treasure).  I thought I took a picture of it but I can't find it on my phone :(  She put X's on our church building, the park, Zaxby's, and Sonic :)

T week: Tiaras, Telling the Truth, Tigers, and Tip Toes
Bible Story: Ten Commandments, Timothy, and Tabitha
(We went to Target and found things that started with a T.  LOTS of things start with a T, but we bought this Tiara found in the $1 bin!)

What else have we been doing?

ZOO TRIP with COUSINS

 SLEEPING

Valentines Day Banquet 
(Every year our youth group serves dinner to our over 50 group)

Sick Days
Aylin, Hilton, and I all passed a bad cold with a fever back in forth a couple of times throughout the course of a week :(  Here are some pics from the sick week: (Is it me or is Hilton still adorably cute?)
(Our Worship at home routine: Bible class in the floor and then worship services online)

Aylin's 1st Day at Thursday School
There is a congregation that offers a free 2 hour Mother's Day Out program and Aylin got in for this 10 week session.  She loved it and Hilton and I enjoyed our one-on-one time.

Conger Park with Daddy

Annual Spring Break Zoo Trip with Our Friends from Church

1st Bowling Trip
(Landon had his 5th birthday party at a bowling alley, so Aylin got to bowl for the 1st time)

JUST MAJOR CUTENESS
Loving our lives with these two blessings!
