Penny Girl

Guess what??? Isla swallowed a PENNY last evening!!!



Long story short...Ezra had made a shaker toy for Matthijs because Matthijs really hurt his toe...it got caught under the door. It really cheered Matthjis up!

This was Ezra's second attempt at a shaker...the first one was a plactic cup of water with glitter glue in it...on top of that was another plastic cup upside down taped on with bandaids!!! We didn't think that would 'work' so we went with pennies inside of an empty Kraft Dinner box...taped up with bandaids!

Anways....Isla opened it, put a penny in her mouth and when Matthew asked her to spit it out...she swallowed it instead!!!

So, good news is...she didnt choke! Bad news is Im gonna be inspecting poops to make sure it makes its way through her system!

I think I wanna save it for her...to be her 'magic penny'...hey, it knows her inside and out right?!?!?

photos to share!

Ezra did her own hair this morning...she is getting really excited about her first ballet class this Saturday!!!



Big girl Isla drinking from a big girl cup...this is the only way she'll drink milk!

Old to some, New to us!

Here are the precious gems that were given to us this summer....Pake (Matthews grandfather) and his wife moved from their home and downsized into a condo in another city. He gave to us a beautiful dresser type thing and also gave us a queen sized teak bed...

Matthews mom gave us a dresser type thing (you guys can correct me on what they are actually called) this was from her Aunt. We love all of these pieces and I know a few of you were wondering how everything came together!
The playroom is now a guest bedroom...so make your way out!!!! Love you all....

Thank you Pake and Nelly-May...and everyone who helped in anyway! We love it all...
