First soccer game

Austin had his first soccer game tonight. Actually, the first game was last Friday night. It was a makeup game from the previous Saturday. Austin was sick so we couldn't make that game.

They played at night so we didn't get many pictures. Here are a couple. Austin's in the bright red shirt; the coach forgot to bring his team shirt.

New phrases

It's so funny the things that Austin picks up from people. Of course, being in school, he's picked up all kinds of new words and phrases. Here are a couple of funny ones.

- Austin has 2 teachers, his regular school teacher and his extended day teacher. And both of their names sound pretty similar. So he just says that there are two Mrs. Haswells (his regular teacher's name). The way he tells them apart? The real Mrs. Haswell is "the one with the lipstick." She always has lipstick on no matter the time of day.
- The other day, Austin was putting something away and it fell off the shelf. He said, "my bad."

Sans computer

A few weeks ago our new, less than 4 months old computer started having problems. Luckily, we still have our dinosaur of a computer but it's SO SLOW and takes forever to load a web page. Needless to say, posts have been non-existant. Here are a few updates from around the Fambrough house:

- Andrew got 4 more teeth!
- Andrew's saying more and more words every day and is signing a lot more. He's says color, Austin (and it sounds more like Austin), tree, that, this. He knows the signs for eat, more, please, hat, book, and baby.
- Andrew is SO loving. He hugs and kisses everyone at school before he leaves for the day.
- Austin went on his first field trip yesterday to...WalMart! The kindergarteners went around the store finding and reading environmental print such as cereal boxes and signs.
- Austin has a "best friend." He's not familiar with the terms girlfriend/boyfriend, but the little girl is his "best friend." Their teacher said that they do everything together. They even sat next to each other on the trip to WalMart. Austin likes the blondes. :-)

We haven't started soccer yet. We were supposed to start practice a couple of weeks ago but have been rained out every day. We hope to be able to practice today and have a game this weekend. Austin's really excited about getting started!

12 Days of Christmas

Andrew is starting to really squirm on the changing table. One day, for some reason, I started singing the 12 Days of Christmas. And he loves it! Austin has started joining in on the singing too. Of course, he gets a couple of the lines wrong. he says two turtle ducks and four calling bursts.

Today was the first day of Sunday school and Austin drew this. The moment I read the title of the picture I knew what he was talking about and it's hilarious. Do you think he's a little confused?
