Sam was chosen as student of the month in her kindergarten class for putting forth her best effort. We are proud of her and her love of learning. On the day of the assembly the girls were in a mode to pose for the camera, we were grateful for that as I am sure so are her grandparents.
After the assembly the girls wanted to go rake up leaves in our neighbor’s yard. It was a fun "Service project".

Rachel goes to Preschool

Rachel started preschool on Sept. 9th. She thought it was about time!

She goes three days a week, so far she has told me only once that she could not go because she was sick, she has gone everyday and comes home loving it.
On her first day of school she wanted to wear a dress, then she realized she had a hat that would match, as well as a jacket.

A Tree full of Monkeys

Some people belive that Elizabeth gets her climbing abilities from watching her sisters, I disagree! Last weekend we decided to hang a tire swing in our backyard. I went and bought a rope with Rachel and then I attempted to throw the rope up into the tree. I got a 10 ft ladder out to help get me closer to the branch I wanted- I didn't get it. Ann came out and climbed up the tree and moved the rope 3 feet further out on the limb. Thanks to her the girls were able to keep themselves entertained for several hours. It was well worth the time and the few scratches don't you think Ann?
