Christmas Program

Millie had her Christmas Program this week at Westfield High School. First I want to say a big THANKS to my mom who drove up just to see it. Rick was out of town and Millie was pretty upset that he was not going to see it. So thanks Mom, you rock!

This program was so funny I was laughing out loud. These kids practiced so hard everyday for about 2 months and it showed. I was very impressed and entertained.

Here are some photos of mine and a few a friend sent me because she was much closer to the action than I was.

A Few Chrsitmas Photos

This was the first night I was playing with my new lens. I still have a lot of learning to do and perfect focus is such a hard thing for me to master. I think it's because I don't see clear so it's impossible for me to use manual focus. Oh well, guess it just won't ever be perfect and I will have to live with it.

Karate Central

Reed needed an activity, the poor kid has nothing going on these days. Of course I knew if I signed Reed up, I would never hear the end of it from Millie so I now have 2 students of Karate in the house. Their uncles and Rick better watch out!

Snow Again

We had a a few inches of snow a few weeks ago. I guess I will get used to it and eventually I won't keep posting blogs every time it snows, I promise. But my kids get so darn excited about it so I can't help myself.

Reed wanted to shovel a pile of snow, that's what he told me. So I shoveled the entire driveway which was more ice than snow so that he could have a pile and re-shovel it into the yard. He was thrilled. Millie was at school while all this fun took place, poor thing.

Smart Boy

Reed is not nearly as easy to teach as Millie was so of course I try not to compare them. I am proud of Reed and how quick he learns, he just won't let me teach him for hours at a time like Millie did. So of course he is learning a little slower than she did. I think he is every bit as smart as she is, he just doesn't have the thirst for perfection that she did. Once I finally got him interested in trying to write letters, he took right off. He wanted to play his sight word game on my phone today and I said he had to learn to write his name first. He grabbed his aqua writer immediately and wrote this for me all by himself. His response was "See, told you I could do it, now can I play on your phone!?! "
