Sikorski Saga

Sunday November 7, 2010, we went to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church where Eric took the call as their new pastor in June. Amazingly this was the first time we had heard Eric preach since our "church shopping" in Edgewood , MD stopped with Paige and Lord of Life. These two pictures show how the weekend went. Luella and Sigrid were best of friends and alternately pushed each other's buttons until tears ensued. These two will be ready for the stage any day! Paige's photo of our families. Tim and Soren smiling together. It's amazing to think it'd been nearly a year since they'd seen each other.

Breakfast for Sigrid and Luella. They woke up on the right side of the bed! Katja made a "castle" with the foam blocks and was very proud of herself! Soren is proud of Katja's castle too! Look as his smile! This was Katja's second time being near the Atlantic Ocean, so Kyla insisted that she had to get in and touch the water this time, since she missed out last time. That's really cold water! Touch the water Kati! Paige took a close-up of Kyla and Kati after touching the Atlantic Ocean. Tim took a picture of another couple, so Kyla took a picture of Paige with the kids. They were so cold on the boardwalk. but nothing a trip to the Candy Kitchen and Dogfish Brewery couldn't fix! Back at the Evers , Sigrid had a birthday party! Happy 4 th Birthday Sigrid! Soren loves his big sister's birthday cake! Kati found the glasses with nose in the dress-up box. Looking silly! The party went outside for a game of freeze tag. The dads got roped in...

We drove up to the Ever's new house in Delaware tonight, November 5, 2010! Paige got the privilege of reading the girls their bedtime stories in Sigrid's room. Side note: Today is Tim and Kyla's first 6 th Anniversary!

Kyla filed a lot of paperwork today (11/3/10) and attempted to shred documents no longer needed. The shredder stopped working, so we burned the documents instead and had S'mores ! Housework needs to end with delicious treats more often!

Katja or Kati (pronounced Caw-T) said she was tired and wanted to take a nap during dinner. Don't forget to chew and swallow. Wake up, Kati! Wake up!

Our cheering section on the way up to the Marine Corps Marathon! Katja , Luella, Aunt Becky and Uncle Phil. Runners and kiddos on the metro way too early in the morning. What a beautiful day for a run! Watching the sun rise as Tim and Kyla step off the metro into 43 degree weather with hardly a breeze. About 5% of the port-a-potties at the start line for the runners to use. There was a huge uproar from Jon Stewart from the Comedy Channel about the MCM not letting him rent the port-a-potties for his Rally to Restore Sanity the day prior. Once again, think about logistics before you plan an event on the 35 th ANNUAL Marine Corps Marathon weekend! The Marines knew from experience just how much logistic support they needed and got it well in advance of the race. After walking about 26 minutes, we finally saw the start line and arch! The Olympic Flame made it from Athens, Greece to Arlington, VA for the start of the Marine Corps Marathon! Running past Arlington National Cemetery . ...
