Reading Buddies

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a very nice Valentine's Day.  We went to the Brian Center Nursing home with several other families from church.  The kids sang songs and passed out cookies and gifts to the residents.  It was such a good experience for the kids and the residents loved having the kids' company.  The kids were spoiled with goodies from Daddy and Mommy, Nana, and several of Nana's neighbors.  

Happy Valentine's Day!  

Valentine's Day Prep

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and we are going to be visiting a local nursing home. Today, the kids helped Ms Francy put together gifts for the residents. We are excited about Valentines Day!

I interviewed Molly so that I could document her life as a 7-year-old.  Molly is so much fun at age 7.  She is such a sweet, pleasant, helpful child.  She's doing a really good job with homeschooling and is over halfway finished with first grade.  She's growing up too quickly!
