HE DID IT!!!

Kurtis' school had a winter performance, we practiced and practiced but still did not think he was going to get on stage. BUT HE DID IT and he did it really well!!! He and all of his classmates did a wonderful job and yes he did bring a little tear to my eye, he is growing so fast!!!

These two...

These two are so funny together!!

Sarah loves to just watch him, and Kurtis loves to entertain her!! I was trying to capture a photo of Sarah laughing which is pretty hard, but Kurtis decided to come in and help. He tried lots of different things!!almost there...and FINALLY...we got a little smile!!!

Families gone...what to do???

We dropped everyone off at the airport, came home and started to clean. I never would have been able to get it all done, but I had a surprising little helper!!

After cleaning he got depressed, sat down on the recliner and read the book Twas the Night Before Christmas (with Nanny's pre-recorded reading) over and over and over again. I was feeling so sad for him, then I over heard him talking to Nanny, so I asked who he was talking to and he said "Nanny, if I push this button she can hear me"...the poor boy misses you all!!!

To cheer him up we did an experiment called "Dancing Raisins", you combine water, baking soda, and vinegar THEN drop the raisins in and watch them dance.

FAMILY!!

A few weeks ago we had Sarah's blessing and enjoyed all of my family in town!! We celebrated Sarah's birth, Jackie's Birthday, Mom & Dad's Anniversary, and Christmas since we all are not sure when we will be back together again!! Kurtis LOVED all of the attention, and cried when everyone left. We miss you all already!!!

Thank you all for your love and support!!!

Let's Go Fly A Kite!!!

Kurtis has been asking for months to go fly his kite but with Derick back at work, and little Sarah I have not made it to the beach with him. BUT...Aunt Katie flew in last week and we decided to go straight to the beach and try to fly the kite. The wind was not blowing that hard, but by the end we got the kite pretty high up there!! It was so fun to see the pure joy in his face!!!
