Me, 3 
Him, 3Our daughter, on the other hand, is so sweet and mild-tempered and sleeps so well; she's so much like her father, and definitely has his eyes.
But now I'm wondering...I'm really wondering...if our daughter is going to grow up to be Amy Detjen. I'm serious. She's all about wanting to learn how to knit lately (she's 2!) and just look at the shoes she chose at the Midwest's Largest Shoe Store* yesterday.
They're cute, but they're quite purple! Ah well, it wouldn't be all bad, now would it? A prolific, outspoken, funny, kind knitter in the house. With purple shoes.
*Yes, this is the same shoe store that got the Badgers in big trouble a few years ago.

What sweet kids! Our Montessori school sings this little song that teaches the kids the state capitals. It's funny to hear my 4 year old singing it!
What a smart little boy. You have beautiful kids.
As for Amy's potential "Mini Me" - now, that would make life as fun and entertaining as Amy is. You'll have a blast. But then remember - you'll have to share your yarn with her. That could be a downside.
Oh my gosh. That is definitely your son!! And your sweet girl is definately a her daddy's girl. So sweet! And they are brilliant too?!
Pierre? Or is that North Dakota? (Now I'm gonna go look it up)
Your kids are too sweet. Purple shoes are wonderful.
Lord, how I want those shoes! They are absolutely delicious!
Love the shoes! Leah would adore those, she is a total purple girl!
What cuties they are!
Love the socks for your sisters!
Gosh, he looks just like you as a 3 yo. So cute. And those shoes? Awesome.
Gorgeous family! And no without cheating I don't know the capital of S.D. right off the bat. Hope you are well! Also those shoes are too cute, do they come in a woman's size 8? ;-D
Ah...I loved looking at your pictures...I think both of my sons look like me but they act so much like dad.
BTW I would love a lil'Amy Detjen running around, the world can never have too many knitters nor too much purple.
It is Pierre, but those of us in the know pronounce it like the thing you tie your boat to.
You do have beautiful kids. I would delight in having a little Amy Detjen running around my house.

I know where that shoestore is. We pass it on the way to Hoofbeat Ridge, in Mazomanie. (horse camp - my 15yo's most favorite place in the world.)
The socks are pretty. I love your daughter's shoes. I know the capitol of South Dakota (Pierre), because we visited there about 1-1/2 years ago. (not the capitol, but the state, anyway).
My 15yo is a relatively new knitter, since March 2007, but you should see the stuff she cranks out! Also, she is usually shy and reserved, but on knit nights, she is all over the room, showing off her latest projects and talking up a storm. (rainberry on Ravelry)
That's cool that your son could read at 4yo! I had one kid who learned while in kindergarten and one who learned during the summer between K and 1.
