Finally, a weekly photo that doesn't look like a mug shot!

random picture

I don't know why, but I love this picture of Liz. I hope you do too!

A sister is a gift to the heart,

a friend to the spirit,

a golden thread to the meaning of life.

pharmacy

Kate spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa James recently. The three of them went to the grocery store. As they were approaching the store, Kate saw the word "pharmacy" on the store front and she said, "Are we going to Walgreens?"

This story floors me. Kate is reading, well almost. She is definitely showing pre-reading skills; she recognizes words and what they mean. She knows that Walgreens is a pharmacy. Oh my, what am I going to do when she really can read?

more about pickle

Pickle made it through her second week of daycare. I think it is safe to say she is an expert at bottle feeding. Our next hurdle is getting her to sleep. This last week she decided that little 20 minute cat-naps are all she requires. Grandma Terri and mommy beg to differ.

I believe that deep down inside, Pickle wants to be a model daycare attendee. It is just taking her some time to find her groove.

progress

Kate was not excited about giving up her sippy cup and straws. Then, mommy bought her a special big girl cup. The rule is that no straws can be used in her new cup. She does quite well, but not good enough to try it without a bib. We are making progress!
