Aunt Christina and Uncle Matt

Drew still doesn't seem to get as many pictures (especially not in this post), so here's one of him.  Drew is doing very well in 4-year-old preschool and today went on a field trip to an apple orchard and pumpkin farm.  He's the tallest kid in his class at 47.5 inches.  We learned today that a girl named Cadi is very interested in him to the point of knowing his first and last name.  Apparently she talks about "Drew Aupperlee" all the time.  Cadi is 47 inches tall and the closest in height to Drew.  While on the field trip today she asked Drew if she could hold his hand, and he acquiesced.  However, Drew is totally oblivious to the attention!  Love it!

The picture below was taken after the latest race that Drew AND Kate participated in.  This was Drew's second road race and Kate's first one.  Drew did very well, while Kate did not do so well (attitude-wise).  In the end, they both had fun and look back on it fondly though, which is all that matters!  Jana and Aunt Christina ran the half marathon part of the race.  Way to go!  In the picture below, Uncle Matt is reading to Drew and Kate after lunch.  You can see both Drew and Kate are still wearing their race shirts.  By the way, it's "Uncle" Matt now because of the next set of pictures.

Aunt Christina and Uncle Matt recently were married.  Congratulations!!!!  Drew and Kate came along for the "wedding practice" the day before the real deal.  They had fun clambering over the church and checking it out.  Kate got dressed up for the occassion.

Below Drew is checking out the "horns" at the back of the church (for the organ).  Both Drew and Kate were fascinated by the balcony.  Drew was dressed up too with a button-down shirt and khakis, but he didn't enjoy posing much.

Drew and Kate did some wiggling during the rehearsal, but generally were very good throughout the rehearsal and the dinner afterward.  They were so excited for Matt and Christina!

The secret to keeping them still?  Smarties!  We went through several packages during the rehearsal.

Today at daycare Kate got her hair curled.  She was super-excited about it and proud of the results.  This is all uncharted territory for me.  Is Kate going to be a girly girl?  She got her hair curled . . . and liked it?  Woah. 

This shot of Kate in the bath gives you an idea of the curls.  I'll admit it was pretty cute!!
