Syd is loving 2nd grade. She just graduated out of her readers at school. This means she gets to read regular chapter books for her reading homework now. Yesterday she brought me a book she wanted to read: "Dragon Rider" by Cornelia Funke. This book on a 6th grade reading level and has 523 pages. She actually had gotten several pages into the book before she asked for help. That is my girl!
Brynn is doing an awesome job in Kindergarten. She learned how to read her first word last week: "Hot". She is going to be reading before we know it. Brynny is such a charismatic little girl. She knows how to wrap people around her fingers. After church yesterday she said to me "Mommy, I want to go see the Bishop. " So we trucked down to the Bishop's office so she could say hello and get a treat. They are special buddies. She told him all about school.
Our Claire Bear will turn 6 months next week. She is starting to get such a fun little personality. Her new favorite thing is her exercise saucer. She also learned her name! "Baby" Actually she will look at you if you call her Baby or Claire. So we must call her Claire sometimes.
Shawn and I are keeping busy chasing the girls around. Shawn has had lots of work meeting lately. Work meetings= games of golf. I have a new obsession with cooking blogs lately. I have found some really good stuff lately. Carne Asada Tacos anyone? BTW- yes the picture is an old one. From the days when we were young and beautiful. Honestly we don't have many pictures of us together. Are you guys like that? Thousands of pics of your kids, four of yourself.
