Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
How are you doing? I hope all is going well for you there!
We think of you often and miss you a lot!
The kids didn’t go back to school until January 7th,
so it was fun to have more Christmas vacation time. We went to the dinosaur
museum, rode the indoor ferris wheel at the new Scheel’s store, and went to
Jungle Jim’s (a little local indoor amusement park). It was fun to relax and
play! We’ve had a lot of snow this month, so it’s been great to go out and
play, when it’s warm enough—we’ve had some major cold spells too.
We also enjoyed going to cousin Aubriel’s baptism and
attending cousin Shenay’s talk in church before leaving on her mission to Hong
Kong. It’s so nice to have family nearby who are great examples for my kids.
Evelyn is progressing in leaps and bounds. She has two new
top front teeth now, she’s a fast crawler and can pull to standing and is
starting to walk while holding onto the couch. She loves ‘big people’ food and
is more likely to eat if her food is in one of our bowls. She can kiss, clap,
and give high fives. She is adorable! Luckily, she’s only attempted the stairs
once—Kevin looked over from cleaning up dinner and she was half-way up them. It
scared her enough she hasn’t tried to go that far again, which is just fine
with me for now!
Luke is in the middle of potty-training. He is doing a great
job! He loves going to his little playschool and looks forward to storytime at
the library and Costco trips. He is excited to be 3 now! Violet has been
learning about outer space in preschool and is reading 3 and 4 letter words
very well. She loves to play games, and we do that often while the little kids
are sleeping.
Cora just got her report card for her second term of second
grade. She is doing spectacularly and reading well above grade level. She loves
her new chapter books— about fairies and the American Girl dolls and the Little
House on the Prairie. She has yet another loose tooth that has been hanging by
a thread for about 2 weeks now—I can’t wait until it comes out, but she is
biding her time.
Happy Valentine’s Day!! We hope you have a day full of love
and fun!
