The life of our children

<>

Alana had a lateover with Patsy and Rovie and they dressed up stuffed animals and had fun playing.  Alana got to take her class monkey home and had to write about her adventures over the weekend with him.

We have added a new person to our family.  Her name is Mariana Ferrer and she is 17 and from Venezuela.  She is a foreign exchange student and will be living with us for the next 10 months.  Her english is very good and she has been teaching us Spanish and cooking and helping out around the house.  She is going to Desert Hills high school and has joined the volleyball team.

Adalynn started taking piano lessons and is enjoying it and doing very well.

Anden is starting to sleep through the night!  Yeah!

Alydia is talking in complete sentences and is so much fun!

Alana is loving 2nd grade!

Allden is still taking swimming lessons and is in a playgroup once a week he is the oldest at home in the mornings and loves to be the little bully to Alydia.
