Back to Basics

I feel like I have to blog something. It has been a couple of weeks and I usually have a lot to report in that amount if time. Alas, we are back to school, swim team, homework.....and on and on it goes. We did get to sneak off for the weekend to Grandma Freda's house. We enjoyed a couple of days of playing and eating with Grandma Freda, Aunt Danna, Pops and Nana. The girls adopted a stray dog for the weekend which Grandma reported is still hanging around her house (sorry, Grandma!)

Soren is still enjoying all of her endeavors and seems to thrive in all that she does. This week she will start her role as anchor on the school's news cast. She will be on the morning "owl call" each day through March. The broadcast is seen in each classroom on large screens connected to the computer. Cool stuff.

Reese is clicking right through her kindergarten year. After Christmas they began taking weekly timed math tests called "math mission". She was excited because this is what all of the big kids get to do and you see your name move up the line each time you ace your test within the time limit. So far she is three for three. They also started having weekly spelling tests. I really can't believe how much she has already learned. Just like a sponge.

Nothing exciting to report. I guess that is ok. At least we are all well with no problems to speak of. That is indeed a great blessing.
