Home life part 2

Here is the second part of the video about life at the teamshin household. And yes, Isaiah needs to learn to share is trains--- even if they are lined up so nicely. :)

Home life part 1

This is what home life is like for team shin right now. This is video part 1--- I couldn't send the entire video so I had to break it up in two parts.

spelling

Isaiah is very interested in words and letters and their sounds. He is learning how to spell some words (some from memory, some from sounds).

Umma

first word?

More walking

more steps...

cat and mouse

isaiah and christina have a favorite new game that they play together. christina crawls towards isaiah, who then laughs hysterically which makes christina turn around and crawl quickly back the other way. and then they do this over and over again.

Welcome to the new invite-only Team Shin (and a beach post!)

We changed our blog so that it can only be seen by invitees. I know that some of you just check up on us every once in a while--- I just wanted to make sure that you can continue to do so!

Thanks for putting up with the extra step to follow the ongoings of our family.

------Beaches-------

You may not know that Chicago actually has miles and miles of sandy beaches along the Lake Michigan shore. We have only gone twice so far this summer, but hopefully we will be able to visit some more! Isaiah is still scared of the sand, but finally agreed to walk on the sand at the end of our last trip. Christina is curious about the sand and water, but doesn't love them yet either!

hello team shin friends and visitors!

we have decided to change the website so that you will need to be invited in order to view this blog. you will also have to set up an account and log-in when you view the site. we decided that we wanted to keep these photos and videos private and accessible to only friends and family.

these changes will occur in the next few days. if you do not get an invite but would like to continue viewing the site, please email me!

thanks for understanding,

teamshin
