Letters!

Ellie reading the letters in the word "Bethel" on my t-shirt:

"Basket-E-Tie-H-E-L! I did it, mom!"

She's getting there....

Siri's Dedication

On March 28, 2010 Siri Ann Torgerson was dedicated to the Lord in our home church of St. Louis Chinese Christian Church. Joey, Ellie, Siri and I were very happy to celebrate this occasion with my mom, dad and sister, Tori as well as close friends in our church. Sophie Tao was also dedicated on this day right next to Siri, a very special moment for both of them!

Siri carried on our tradition and wore the same dress Ellie, my mom, her siblings, my siblings and I all wore during this event. :) Enjoy the pics!

March Happenings...

A little update on the month of March:

Ellie got bangs! :)

Siri is getting SO big! She now loves her excersaucer:

We took a trip to the zoo for the first time this season.

(no, we don't know that little kid next to Joe)

Ellie and Gabe really enjoyed all the animals

Especially the elephants :)

And the monkeys

Joe being "Mr. Mom"

Siri and Sophie were pooped!

Then Siri went for her first swim at the local community center!

And Ellie transitioned into a toddler bed! So far so good. She still seems to sleep pretty well despite her ability (and desire) to get out of bed and play.

For spring break my dad, mom and sister came for a visit! The girls LOVED having them
