Nan (Alice) turned 5! She is growing up so fast. She had a delightful group of friends over for her "Alice Tea Party" and they had such fun. She celebrated all day- at pre-school, at ballet, and then at home. She even got phone calls from the Woolwines, Grandma & Grandpa Little, and Laurie. She is so loved. What a treasure our sweet Hannah is. She is so helpful, kind, generous, and artistic. Right now she is coloring a picture she has named "the enchanted land"- where does she get this stuff? She has also decided to form the "Girly-girl Club" that will begin in the summer. When asked what they do, she said, "We swim, play sports, eat junkfood, and exercise of course." Who knew?!?
We survived our month of sugar-free living and partied hard on Nan's birthday with cake and ice cream. We all got tummy aches, but Jake toughed it out and went to wrestling anyway. What a trooper. He is doing really well in school and loves computer lab and p.e. the most. He scored above average on his math report card- Richard was so proud. He is working on reading every night so he can earn a free pass at school to "Roaring Springs" a water park, this summer. He is so excited, "I love that place!" He is getting his tonsils and adenoids out on March 24th and is looking forward to all the popsicles.
Lucy is oh-so-two. "No" is the first thing out of her mouth, even when it is followed by a "yes" afterward. She is speaking and signing so well. She makes us laugh all the time- like the other day when we were in the car and Steph smelled something and asked Lu if she was stinky? She said "No" (Of course). Then she smiled and said, "I toot!" You gotta love Lu!
Clara is growing so fast. She has grown out of her infant car seat, boo hoo! She loves to rock in her seat/exersaucer and is blowing raspberries and jabbering all day. She still loves to suck on her two fingers, but has learned that they have to come out in order for the food to go in. So we take turns- a bite of food, a couple minutes of finger-sucking, a bite of food, etc... She is still very smily and just laughs at Jake like he is the funniest thing ever. Like Jake needs any encouragment to act silly?! We have a great family. We will update again soon. Thanks to everyone for the great gifts you gave Hannah. We will write more soon....
