Next step in reading

The other night I had to tell the girls I was just too tiered to read. Jael asked if she could give it a try so I said sure. She read the first two pargraphs fairly well, before stoping. I told Daddy about it later and he decided to get her some chapter books of her own. He got her the first 8 Magic Tree house books and she dove right in. She was so excited that through the first chapter she kept running up to me to give reports about what is going on in the book. It is so great to see her excited about the books.

How to make a peanutbutter sandwich - By Jael
Take two peices of bread and take some peanutbutter with a knife. Spread the peanutbutter on one peice of bread. Put the other peice of bread on top. Eat it with your hands.


The day I was two inches tall - Tekla
I would eat tiny cereal. It is called Cheerios. I would eat with my hands.

*She informed me that if you are two inches tall you do not have allergies.

Diamond Mud

While we were at the diamond mind, there was an aspiring photographer who asked permission to take pictures of Jael and Tekla (Saoirse and I had already left). He just sent us the copies and I just had to share some!

Make a joyful noise?

Tekla started singing while upstairs in the bathroom. Then she continued as she came down. Then it continued. Daddy got the camera and it continued. Daddy stopped filming and it continued. It only stopped when Mommy started watching what Daddy had filmed.
If you look behind her you will also see the trampoline that we got the girls to help them burn extra energy when Mommy can't take them out. We have been amazed that this little one who had gross motor delays so early on can jump longer than her sisters(maybe not as hight but longer).

Ballarina Girl

Jael has been soooo excited to start ballet classes. She has a nice size class of 4 girls. After her first class, all she had to say is, "When do I get to go on stage?" Later she decided she wanted to wait till spring to make her stage debut instead of participating in the Nutcracker this winter.

Sorry for my slowness

I am going to attemt to catch up on the last month of things. I have fallen behind on many things due to morning sickness and just being so darn tierd. Please bare with me as I get us all caught up.
