What's new and exciting with. . .
. . . Andrew
Andrew earned his yellow belt in karate on December 12th and is preparing to earn his orange belt.
Andrew is showing rapid improvement in his speech abilities thanks to the speech therapy class he attends 2 days a week at school.
Andrew showed great adventurism at Daddy's "after" graduation party. It was his first Tapinachi experience and he took it like a real trooper. He even at the soup. He was VERY close to trying the sushi as well. He truly enjoyed using the chopsticks. He has asked when we are going back to the restraunt again.
. . . Kyle
Kyle has learned to keep all artistic expressions on paper.
Kyle's communication skills have really picked up speed. You can now carry on a full blown conversation with him.
Kyle has learned most of his colors and can count items up to 5. We are not sure how far he can count as he isn't forth coming with that information, but he can count to five.
Kyle enjoyed Daddy's "after" graduation party. It was his first Tapinachi experience and he took it like a real trooper even though he wasn't too sure about the flames. Kyle came VERY close to trying the sushil. He truly enjoyed using the chopsticks.
. . . Stacey
Stacey has been diligently working on several web sites (mostly for family). She has worked on getting up a quick resume and online portfolio to see if some projects will fall into her lap. She was asked to develop another site for the church family history center's seminar this coming spring.
Stacey has diligently been working on her variety of crafts. These are for the Well Decorated House web site (craft sales) and for personal delight.
Stacey spend the months of November and December diligently completing 4 quilts -- one for Rachel Lee, one for each of the boys, and one for Grandma Kirby. She really has enjoyed quilting.
