About the kids...

It's been awhile since I've filled everyone in on Kyle and Abbie....

Kyle is enjoying the fourth grade. He has a darling teacher that he talks about non-stop. Kyle was chosen as "Student of the Week" this week. He always gets chosen last or close to it so being able to do it at the beginning of the year was really exciting for him. Abbie and I brought lunch for a classroom picnic with his teacher today then Kyle showed off his sister for "Show and Tell". We handed out cupcakes after show and tell as Kyle's birthday is during summer break and he never gets to participate. It was a super fun day for the kids.

Kyle is busy with football, golf, piano and scouts. He is a really good football player, especially considering that he's never participated before. His team is 2 and 0. He is really enjoying being 10, fourth grade and all of his activities. It's been a really good month for him.

Abbie wants to be just like Kyle. She loves hanging out with him and can't get enough playtime with her brother. She has suddenly turned into such a big girl. She loves to wear shoes and socks and won't go to bed without her sleeping shoes (slippers) on. She is still signing like crazy and just enjoyed her first gymnastics lesson the other day. She was doing cartwheels, rolls, the balance beam and bar...everything a big girl would do.

She officially has a "Baby Fro". It is super curly and sticks out all over...much like Richard Simmons. I try to make her look more girly with barettes but it doesn't work too well and she always takes them out. She is also wanting to be a helper...she tries to help Kyle practice the piano, me with dinner, the dogs with her treats...you name it and she wants to help.
