January Happenings

Like most Januarys, our January 2020 was pretty uneventful.

This Sweet Girl is doing great in Pre K and loves to wear her hair "curly" when we take our her braids.

Samuel was invited to a fun birthday party for some church friends and especially enjoyed climbing the rock wall. He waited in line for a long time to get a turn.

This Cheesy Girl is always ready to pose for the camera. Her sister has taught her to pose with her hands on her hips.

We had a dusting of snow one school day, and the kids couldn't wait to get home from school and play in it. They were so proud of the snowman they built. I was laughing too when I reminded Nathan that there was snow on top of the trampoline if they were running out of snow to play with and his response was- "I know that's are snow reserve in case we need it" These kids have definitely been raised in a state that sees little snow.

Katherine is always so excited to pick up Sissy after school. They get about an hour of time to play together before the boys get home.

Nathan's class is reading buddies with the Pre-K class (They come to the pre-k class and read with them once a week), and I love that these two chose each other to be reading buddies.

In a season of frequent arguing and sibling fighting, it was refreshing to know that they really do love each other enough to choose to be reading buddies. 

Princess picnics happen pretty regularly around here, and I love it.

On one of our free Saturdays, we took the kids to the Discovery Lab for the morning. We hadn't been since this summer, and they all had fun running, climbing, playing and learning.

Elisabeth has been working hard on memorizing the books of the New Testament. She's done a great job.



These two Stinkers stole my phone and took selfies on the way home from dance. It's so fun that they are in the same dance class, and school class and that we're neighbors. Addisyn is one of Elisabeth's best friends.

Katherine always asks Daddy to read books to her before bed. I think I've figured out why, ha!



January was a big month for our Sweet Katherine. She said goodbye to her pacifiers and to her crib- the crib that has been a useful part of our home for almost nine years! It was a big day and transition for all of us. Babies don't keep...

I miss her baby days but she is just the most awesome two year old around. She's outgoing, talkative, happy, affectionate, and always loves to play. She's my best buddy these days and I'm soaking it up!
