recent conversations

(on couch, eating tortellini)
Soren:  Dad, when is it going to be . . . Right Now?
Dad . .. Soren, its always Right Now.  Does that make sense?
Soren:  well . . . how do you spell "poopface"?


(in car, driving to an errand)
Alden: Dad, what if you spelled my name: "A-L-D-E-N-S-T-I-N-K", but the S-T-I-N-K letters were all silent?
Dad: So your name would be Alden Stink?
Alden: Noo! People would mis-pronounce it like that all the time.  You would have to tell everyone "the stink is silent, its just pronounced Alden".

Homework

Above: book report
Below: "getting stronger for rock climbing class"

Can you spot Soren?

Homework

Forgot to post this photo of Alden from our trip out East - he was very happy doing his homework here (and didn't even seem to notice that he had slipped into the early 19th century!)

Camping Chair

Set himself up here to eat his bagel before school.

Butterfly Garden

Oh sunny day!

Leyden Hike

With a great deal of sword battles.

Cousins arrive from Philly!

The littlest Koschmann

Country Living

Power has gone out, so we played soccer in the rain and will have dinner by candlelight.

Boston Children's Museum

Is awesome!

Kings of their domain

View from our 25th floor apartment

Boston!

A day late but we still enjoyed the Science Museum and are loving our swanky apartment with plush, shag rugs. Directly above, the boys try to launch a sneak attack from their mid century base camp.

Back at home with our books

A Walk through the snowy woods

To the Leyden Library

Where grandma Lo was our personal librarian!

Arrival!

A compliment to Mrs. Ferris: Alden immediately pulled out his homework to show his grandparents before we'd even retrieved our suitcase. He was that excited about it.
