the chids

A few of you have asked for a blog...which is always nice. There have been many times where I have thought...oh I want to write about this....but I don't seem to have the time, energy or space to do it.

Charlie started kinder and is really enjoying it. We LOVE the program he is in, and feel right at home with his teacher's philosophy.

Kindergarten is trickier....there is a lot more work...but it is also a lot more fun." Then on the way to school Charlie was sad, "I am going to miss Kate while she is at preschool."

We have endured our fair share of sibling rivalry...but the past month or so I have watched these two once again unite and become best friends. They use their words (mostly), play using their imaginations, and work out their differences.....it makes me so happy and proud.

As soon as we picked up Charlie from kinder (it was after Kate's first day at LN) Charlie raced up to Kate and said: How was Los Ninos? Was it fun? Who did you play with? Then they opted to enjoy lunch out on the deck and continued their talk their...

From inside I heard lots of giggles and came back out to find they were sharing the same chair
