The Veltema Family Blog: Aubreeism
http://veltemafamilyblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/aubreeism.html
Friday, August 10, 2012. Aubree lost her first tooth while we were camping last weekend. Lucky for her, the tooth fairy was able to find us at the campground, and leave her some money in exchange for her tooth. She didn't really seem too excited about the tooth fairy coming, but apparently it has been on her mind. Aubree: "I lost my nail, so I took it and put it under my pillow last night. But the nail fairy didn't find it. There was no money. Isn't there a nail fairy? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Veltema Family Blog: Ethiopia: Day 2
http://veltemafamilyblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/ethiopia-day-2.html
Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Some of the little tukuls we passed. Part of the beautiful grounds at Common River. Once we had finished our buna, we all got back into the van and drove to the place we would be staying for the night. We made arrangements to stay with an organization called Common River. This is where the students eat lunch. When our tour had ended, we went back to our tukul to wait for dinner. The staff brought hot water for our "shower" so we could freshen up. One of the classrooms. Before long...

Saturday, May 12, 2012. Still in Aleta Wondo. We woke up to a bright and sunny morning, which seemed extra bright after being in our very dark tukul. I was really surprised at how well it kept out any amount of light. The Common River. One of the staff members showing us the coffee field. The very sweet Common River staff.

Sunday, July 24, 2011. Chugga Chugga Choo Choo! Before I begin - props to Aunt Kristi for a precious birthday hat and shirt, and to Holly for the cutest invites ever! Our sweet Luke had his 2nd birthday the day after we moved into our new house - kind of hectic! We went out to celebrate at our fav Mexican restaurant, where he was serenaded w/ a birthday song and got to eat some cake (thanks Grammy! Even Luke doesn't understand why they always smear whipped cream all over the birthday boy/girl's face).

Tuesday, June 14, 2011. There are lots of memories that were made in the house –. Telling Stephen I was pregnant w/ Elijah, in the garage (where he laughed for 5 min before coming inside to find me). Walking into the house when Elijah was still in the NICU, seeing a poster that sweet Emily Key made with pictures of our new baby boy, and just crying realizing he should be with us. Bringing both our boys home from the hospital after they were born. Swinging with the boys on our back porch. 8221; So we just...

Monday, May 23, 2011. HILARIOUS - Elijah's last soccer game. Elijah just finished up his last soccer game tonight and it was quite a memorable game. Let me first say that he. Progressed a lot throughout the season. Game #1: Elijah stood and watched the other kids. Game #2: Elijah picked flowers and kept running them off the field to Mommy. Game #3: Elijah went after the other kids, physically. Pushed, grabbed, tackled,.we had to remind him that he's supposed to go after the. Not the other kids. Afterward...

Then we did our traditional Easter riddles and Easter egg hunt with Uncle David, Aunt Kristi, Taylor and Riley. They had so much fun searching for Easter Eggs too! He was all about the "E Mo...
