Kim has been experimenting with the sewing machine she got for Christmas. Her first projects were gifts for our godchildren, Hannah and Elijah.
Hannah's gift was a fun, girly crayon and notepad holder.
Elijah got a turtle bib. Kim was really excited to give homemade gifts! The gifts certainly weren't perfect, but Kim will have fun continuing to learn more about sewing. (Thanks for the great starter ideas, Aliceson!)
Ian has continued to love trains. (We're thinking that will be the theme for his 2-year birthday party!)
Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for the cute train sweater. Ian said, "TRAIN!" when he opened their gift.
We had friends Mike, Kati, and Caleb over to celebrate their birthdays -- all within about 8 days of each other. Time with friends, chocolate cake, playing games = fun times!
Matt invited Kim and Ian to Concordia's Go Texan Day. One of the students' fathers brought four of their show cows for the students to see and learn about. Ian was excited to help Daddy feed the cow,
brush it,
eat a picnic lunch,
and pet a cow some more.
In typical toddler fashion, Ian quickly moved on from the cows to other fun items ... a stray tennis ball and the hose. They were just as exciting to Ian as the cows were. :)
We were excited to see Raegan while at Concordia, too!
Our friend Kati commented recently that she is always curious to see what new item Ian is going to bring to church each week. We told her we are, too! His obsession Sunday was a toy rake. Today, he has moved on to a play cup and his McDonald's order-taking headset. He likes to say, "I take your order?" He refused to nap without the headset on. :)

What cute homemade gifts you've sewn, Kim! You're a fine seamstress.:) Matt and Ian, Grandpa and I like your cowboy hats---or is it one hat that Daddy shared? You both look like Texans.
Ian: "May I take your order?"
Grandma: "One Kids' Meal with milk, and a toy-train for my most-precious grandson Ian. Thank you."
Ian: "You're welcome. Thank you!"
Merz' kiddos are so cute, too.
