January 9-15

Like Sofie's cool dragon tattoo? She's such a tough girl :) Brice was looking pretty cute looking at himself in the mirror at work. He can hold his head up high on his stomach now.

January 1-8




I took Sofie to Mickey Mouse at Centre in the Square. First we went out for lunch with two friends, Audrey and Olivia. Sofie was dressed in her princess costume. Then we went to the show, I wonder when I'll be able to get a 'normal' picture of Sofie, without her giving me attitude!

Happy New Year! I made it a whole year, 365 days of blogging our family. I was slower after Brice was born but thanks to Tara, Amanda, and my mom letting me know I was slow, I made sure to post picture! I'll continue to post weekly picture, with a few pictures in each post! Take care everyone,
Love,
the van der Veens!

Is this where the star goes?

December 12

With another part of Sofie's allowance savings, she purchased $10 of food towards the food bank and she bought 8 angels, and the money goes towards buying presents for needly children in our area. I don't know if she totally understands what it means, but the gesture was there and I hope we can continue to do this every year with the kids.

December 11

We went through a rocky period when Sofie would hit Brice, and be mean to him, jealousy and all that jazz. I can honestly say she loves him to pieces now. She wants to see him every morning and will give Brice kisses. He smiles when he sees her. He'll stop crying and be content in her arms. It is so sweet.

What a goof!
