Playschool Olympics

Seraphina is a part of a little playschool. Our friend hosted the other day and put together a wonderful playschool centered around the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. 

She made a torch and each kid received a cookie good medal for riding down the 'bobsled'. 

Elle is 6

Elle is 6!

I can't believe my sweet girl is 6 years old . It seems like just the other day I was bringing her home from the hospital. 

Elle just started her spring semester of kindergarten. She is smart, funny, kind and loving. She has improved dramatically in her reading and has started enjoying doing math with Dad. She is the best example of a big sister. She is so patient and loving with Seraphina and is always quick to help entertain her. 

She loves reading the pig and elephant books, fancy nancy, Elmer, the magic tree house and anything about animals.

Her favorite color is pink.

She wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up.

She wrote her first talk and have it in primary two days after her birthday on agency.

For her birthday she wanted to find a pet store where we could take out the puppies and play with them.

She is a total gem and we love her so much!

And so we meet again, old friend

Here we are nearly two years later and I am finally posting something. I no longer have pressure to provide valuable content for my family that once read this, instead I am using this as a journal of sorts. 

Today we had a good 8" - 10" of snow. It was really lovely and so far untouched by the dogs and dirt that will inevitably destroy the beautiful white snow. Mathew took a call on our walk to the park and the girls sled, built snowmen and made snow angels for over an hour. We had a great time!

Also, Mathew surprised Elle today and picked her up from school and pulled her home in a sled!
