Aaron's news

Aaron's biggest news this past week was his new bike. Last Saturday we looked over and saw that the neighbor kids were having a garage sale fund raiser. They had a really nice kids bike with training wheels for only $5. We were going to wait until Christmas or his birthday but man, you can't beat that kind of deal! He has been so excited about it though. We've since trekked around the neighborhood many times, stopping at every person we meet so Aaron can tell them the good news about his new bike. He was also happy to give his old trike to Jacob, who is very content to just push and pull it across the driveway.

Aaron has also found a new fascination with oragami. Amy downloaded some instructions from the Internet on how to create a paper butterfly. The instructions weren't the greatest so Amy handed the project over to me to try to figure out. After trying to second-guess the illustrator of the instructions I finally came up with something that loosely resembled a butterfly. Aaron cracked up when Amy called me the "oragami master." Aaron now chuckles as he calls me the "Ormy Garmi Master." He also has a paper mouse he calls "Machiko," named after a girl in one of his books who brings some oragami to her class.
