Oh Christmas Tree

Cat, Hat, Rat, Sat

My little 4 year old Katera is starting to read! She amazes me! She is in her second year of preschool and will have a third before she can start kindergarten- thanks to her late birthday. She has been doing really well this year learning the sounds of all the letters. So one day I spelled out some simple three letter words with the Leap Frog letters on our fridge and asked her to sound them out. She caught on so quick! I have gotten out the Hooked on Phonics set and she is doing awesome!! She will more than likely be reading fluently by the time she starts kindergarten.

Chocolates with Grandma

Last week Grandma Nahna invited us over to make chocolates. She has started her yearly production of her heavenly candies. We went over as soon as Sekoya got out of school. Grandma had pretzel rods and caramel all ready for us. Then she put chocolate in a little dish with a paint brush. When the pretzles were covered in caramel the girls got to "paint" the chocolate on and add glitter and sprinkles. They had tons of fun and will always remember how important Grandma makes them feel! Not to mention the good candy!

Halloween

Baby #3 is...

A BOY!!!

I am 20 weeks pregnant and just barely blogging about it. I thought it would be more fun to wait until I could tell what the gender was. This also explains my lack of posts in the last few months. I haven't really felt like sitting in front of the computer for long periods of time.
