She started kindergarten three weeks ago in Ms. Quarles' (sounds like "corals" not "kwar-lez" like my southern Califorian upbringing led me to believe) class. She is already sounding out short words and gets so excited. She is our social butterfly and has made new friends. Mommy, Andrew, and Eliza even ate lunch with her and her new friends yesterday when we brought her lunch to her. (Mommy ran out of time that morning.)
Andrew loves his trains, cars, finding bugs and playing in water at the sink. The other day he spent a half hour on a chair at my kitchen sink just enjoying the water and the soap bubbles. So much so, that his ice cream dessert didn't even pull him away from his fun. We love that he entertains himself so well.
Her favorite place to be is on her changing pad looking into the mirror or at the musical monkeys that we have hanging from the mirror. The swing is now tainted since she realizes it means sleep. But this has lead to her learning to sooth herself and falling asleep in her bed. Isn't she pretty in pink?!

Yay! I have something for the baby sitting on my counter here in Temecula... where it's been for the last month or MORE! I'm so sorry! You may not know since I haven't updated our blog lately, but we moved here, then I went to Utah 9 days later for 18 days, and came home to a disaster area... and that's putting it nice! Damian started a project... or several, I should say, that he just couldn't finish... long story short... I went totally off the deep end!
You have such a cute family! Such cute kids and we miss you so much!
Sounds like you're doing well! Eliza's beautiful... oooohhh, I just want to squeeze those cheeks!
Wow, they do grow and change fast don't they! All 3 are adorable and I'm sure lots of fun.
