Junie B
The kids are in love with Junie B. we are quickly reading through the series
Andrew was belly laughing so hard the other day while I read it!
He also covers his ears and leaves the room during the scary parts. He left tonight when I read the part about Junie staying late at school and missing the bus and breaking into the nurse ‘s office!

Abby writing
Abby started writing and spelling independently in December. She used to always ask the spelling of most words other than the ones she memorized. One day she just realized she could try by herself. So she is now writing using phonetic spelling. So in her room the other day after sending her to Timeout- I found a letter on her desk addressed to me saying ” I hat you!” ( translation: I hate you!”)
Sad but hilarious! I cracked up

Winter break
Our 17 day winter break has been amazing. We have had a lot of time as a family. We got to see Kyle’s parents, my side of the family. I feel so relaxed!
Andrew learned to ride his bike without training wheels . We took him to skateboard. I took kids swimming. The kids and i went to Triangle Lake to visit a friend’s farm. So beautiful!!
The four of us went bowling. We had a bus adventure day and took buses to get around all day in Eugene- yarn store, book store, Glendwood.
Kyle and I got in several date nights thanks to the grandparents.
The boys played tennis. Andrew practiced his reading. He is doing great. He sounds out the letters and then just puts them together immediately and says the word!
Abby started writing independently a few weeks ago so now she writes notes all the time.
Our schedule starts back tomorrow. Ah!
Here we are at my parents yesterday for brunch with my sister:
