The experiment

So, here is how the whole thing started... On Tuesday night Mommy was cleaning up the kitchen and talking to Daddy. She kept noticing this dumb fly that was on the ceiling above Dad's head. She had a candle jar that she was getting ready to throw away (the candle had just burned out that day), and she had just put an empty Diet Pepsi can in the jar too. Well, since our mom is so tall, she just reached up with that jar and trapped the fly inside it. Daddy didn't think she'd be able to keep it in there when she slid the jar off the ceiling, but Mommy did AND she happened to have a lid which fit the jar. Daddy called us from the playroom and said we were going to conduct a science experiment. We were going to see how long the fly would live inside the jar; we all got to guess how long we thought the fly would last, and I wrote the number of days that each person picked under their name/initial. Mommy picked the right number... the experiment passed away on Thursday afternoon. ~ Maeghan

Our First Post

Well, today we created our own blog; we wanted to have an easy way to talk with our family and show them all the fun and cool things we do in Wenatchee. As you can see from the pictures on our site, we now have a brand new cousin. His name is Caden Michael, and he was born on Saturday morning. Of course we drove over there as soon as we could get ready (you know our mom, so that took a bit longer than it would for other people). We got to the hospital Saturday afternoon, and we introduced ourselves to the baby. He is really small (and we don't believe Mom when she tells us we (almost) used to be that little), and he sleeps a lot (Mom says she sometimes wishes that we still did, but we had no idea what she was talking about). Baby Caden finally opened his eyes for a long time on Sunday afternoon, and we all got to hold him again (but just for a little bit).
