School Update

Three months into school and Sophie is doing great. She's one of the big kids in her class this year (which is from ages 18 months-3 years). I think she likes showing the little ones how to do things. We had our parent-teacher conference last week and we found out that her favorite "work" to do is language work and art work. Not a surprise. We also found out that her and her best friend Claire need to be separated during Circle Time and lunch because they are too distracting to each other. Uh oh....

Here are a few pics from her teachers blog:

Thanksgiving 2012

We were down in Virginia this year for Thanksgiving and for the first time did a deep fried turkey - which was delicious! Doug was the man of the fryer. It only had to cook for 50 minutes, which is my kind of turkey.

 Sophie got to spend a lot of time with her cousins, Quinn & Carley! All she wanted to do was hang out with the big kids all week - and luckily she got to.

 We also got to spend some time with Lexi & Sarah at the Meriweather Lewis playground. The girls had such a good time together. 

 Here's a Christmas card preview...

Halloween!

Yesterday we went trick or treating in our neighborhood with Claire. Sophie the bumble bee had a blast - and ate lots, and lots of candy. We enjoyed a sugar high, and then the inevitable crash. But it was worth it.
