Spring Break

 We enjoyed a visit to Frankfort and Union, Kentucky over Spring Break.  We visited friends and family.  The weather was nice and we avoided most of the rain. 

 A visit to our beautiful Capitol is always glorious with the blooming tulips. 

Owen's 4th Birthday

 Owen celebrated his birthday at school with donuts and singing with his sister.  

 He loved all the new tractors and trucks.  

 He played games with his friends and enjoyed chocolate cake.  What more could a boy want? We love you sweet Owey O.  

Story Book Breakfast

Audrey and Mommy enjoyed some time together at the Story Book Breakfast.  We met lots of our favorite characters, ate pancakes, got Audrey's face painted, and got a cool kitty cat balloon.  Audrey makes a beautiful Rapunzel.  

He's Almost 4

 Owen will be 4 in just a few days.  How has my baby grown up already?  He loves to be outside, climb trees, play ball, and do anything his big brother does.  

Today he enjoyed digging for worms and snails.   

Last week he was in the newspaper.  Owen and I were outside playing with his boomerang and they stopped to take our picture.  He thinks he's famous now.  

Audrey's Good Deed

 Audrey is always looking for a craft or project to complete.  Today she wanted to share some snacks with some friends.  Instead, we agreed to make a basket of goodies to leave at a nearby bus stop.  Audrey made a sweet note saying, "God loves you."  

 We delivered it to the bus stop near our house, next to the library.  

Audrey has become an excellent reader and has also learned numerous songs on the piano.  She is highly motivated and not afraid of practice.  She has a great big heart and loves everyone.  

Alexander's Year

 Alexander was drafted to play Upward Basketball.  He hadn't planned on playing, but the team needed a few extra players so he agreed.  He has scored at almost every game.  He is more aggressive this year and is playing great defense.  

 After the Bluegrass in the Schools program at Sutton, Alexander insisted that he wanted to take fiddle lessons.  He already knew that the lessons were offered by the Bluegrass Music Museum.  The lessons are every other Saturday for ten weeks.  At the conclusion of the lessons the class will play at ROMP in June.  

Alexander continues to make great progress in reading.  He and Adam have almost completed all the books from the Chronicles of Narnia.  He takes Accelerated Reader tests on each books.  He has great comprehension and has well over 100 AR points so far.  He has already had his name in lights on the sign at his school.  We are so proud of him.  

Audrey is 6

We celebrated Audrey's 6th birthday with a unicorn party.  

 Everyone enjoyed decorating their unicorn horns with frosting, sprinkles, and other candies. 

 We went ice skating afterwards.  The girls and Owen had a great time.
