Just a quick blog update to tell about how the kids are both growing and changing....
Brooklyn: Brooklyn is so proud to be a Daisy. She is taking selling Girl Scout cookies so seriously! When I was a child, I would have never approached anyone to ask them to buy anything. Brooklyn walks up to them and has prepared what she will say to everyone! I am so proud of her tackling this project with appropriate words and behaviors! She sold 183 cookies and still selling!!
Brooklyn received all Es and and E + in math on her report card. I have had 2 emails from her teacher bragging on her good choices, caring heart, and amazing writing!
Brooklyn learned to ride a bike without training wheels! She practiced 2 different days and was shaky. Then she tried a third time and took off! She has it under control!
Colson: Colson is full of energy. He is coming home talking about hibernation of bears and nocturnal animals and totally knows what that means! We are working on his writing skills and he has become a pretty good colorer in the process. He doesn't do it long, but likes to do it now!
Colson has had his training wheels raised on his bike. We are going to tackle him riding without them now that Brooklyn has mastered it! He is so excited to try...as long as he has elbow and knee pads!
Colson is amazingly quick at learning his Cubbie verse for AWANA! It is so cool to see him singing his verses when I put them to song. He sings them in the car, while playing with his cars, and just laying in his bed!

New Years Eve 2011
We were not able to get together to let the Kuhn boys and our kids exchange presents earlier in the break because of family in town and illnesses, so there is no better time than New Years Eve! We had a great time letting the kids open presents! Brooklyn was thrilled with her crafts and would not let them go! She has already started her first weaving project! Colson loves his train track and has started building it already! We are so grateful to have such wonderful friends that are as close as family! We then went across the street to their neighbor's house. Katie and Cody had a few friends over who all had kids and there was tons of food, drinks, fireworks, sparklers, poppers, and yawns as the night went on! The kids had a great time playing with all of the kid friendly fireworks but Colson was beat! He did not take a nap during the day so he was hanging out just watching most of the night. We ended up leaving about 9:45 and the kids were in bed and asleep by 10:15! Early night for New Years but it is not easy when the kids are young! Thank you for inviting us! We had a great time!
