January/February Update

Well, other than losing my Job in Janurary, we have had lots of fun with the girls. We went to the park a couple of times and the zoo. The girls are growing up so fast. Caroline is really enjoying school and just got an excellent report the other day from her teacher. She is doing 1st Grade work and she isn't even 5 yet. Her behaviour with the sticker charts has been great. She gets to choose the family activity almost every week now and has even earned $10 a few times by getting ALL of her stickers.
Sophie is talking a little bit more. She says Sarah now (Sawah) and Caroline (Ka-ine). She love to read books and have Caroline read to her. She walks around with her purses all of the time and is starting to make more Animal sounds.
Here are a few pictures from the last month or so.

Christmas 2008 - FINALLY

Well, as many of you know....I got laid off from my job on Jan 19th. I have been spending more time with the girls and when I do lock myself in the office for computer time, it has been to look for a job.

I now am at the point where I know I should make more time to catch up with blogging.

Here is Christmas 2008.
We had a wonderful time at Mama Leslie and Pappy Joe's house. Caroline just loves playing with her cousins and Susanna was a great babysitter for Sophie. Sophie learned to walk that week so it was fun watching them walk around the house. We were so glad that Mama Judy was able to come.
We made a Gingerbread house, the boys had a shootout in the backyard, we had LOTS of Pappy Joe's yummy Hot Chocolate, read the Christmas story and did a very large puzzle. Everyone seemed to get addicted to the puzzle.
Fun for All.
Here are some pictures.

This is just a teaser cause I don't have time to do the whole thing right now. Here is a picture that Sarah took this weekend of Caroline blowing out Sophie's birthday candle.

Miscellaneous Kid Pictures

Dinoland

2 weeks ago we took the kids to Dinoland. It was a special exhibit held at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin. They had some lifesize replicas. Grandma Bobbie was able to come to this activity and we were happy about that. It was a cool, overcast morning and we had a great time learning about Dinosaurs.

Good Behaviour Picnic

In an earlier post, I mentioned that when Caroline gets enough stickers for good behaviour she can pick a family activity. A few weeks ago she wanted to have a picnic at the park....so we packed up our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and went. It was a beautiful day and she had a good time.
