The girls are great. They are working hard in school and Mattie's parent-teacher conference revealed some extremely high test scores, particularly in reading. While not surprised, it is interesting to hear that your 8-year-old is reading on a 9th grade level!
Caroline has grown an attitude and I feel like I often work double time to keep her in line. She is sure pushing limits these days as she grows from baby to little girl. I still can't believe she is 5. Did I mention that she is stubborn as a mule and has a temper to boot. Whew. What goes around sure comes around.
I am enjoying an online fiction writing class and Derick's schedule has slowed a bit allowing him to relax and spend more time with us. Oh yes, it helps that deer season is over.
My handbell choir is hosting a bake sale Sunday and I am really looking forward to spending some time in the kitchen on Saturday. I love to bake, but we don't need the goodies, so I never make anything. I have pulled out the teacake recipe and I am thinking some homemade brownies and maybe a pan of Rice Krispy Treats would be fun to tackle. The house will smell yummy, too!
We are looking forward to the coming weeks and months when lots of folks have visits planned. I hope to see more of the area during this time and as the weather warms up. I feel like I have stayed in the house or darted to and from the car to a warm building for the better part of forever.
As you can tell, we are just living life here in Kansas. Totally amazed that our time here is over half-way complete!
