Proud of my girls

I am SO PROUD of both of my girls, who both received the Student of the Month award for their grade. Katrina won for September, and Heather for October.  I am just so happy that they are adjusting so well to public school, and are achieving so much!!

As a side note: We have found out that Katrina is far-sighted, and that near work (reading, sewing) causes her eyes to strain, even though she has 20/20 vision.  So, she will be getting reading glasses, and will be starting vision therapy soon to help strengthen those eye muscles.   

Fall Fun

I love Fall!  It's my favorite time of the year!  And we haven't been in America for fall for five years!  I love the changing leaves, the cooler weather, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and school events.
     This fall has been fun so far.  The kids got to ride a horse near Grandma and Grandpa DeLaughters' house, which was very exciting!  Unfortunately, Grandma DeLaughter just got home from back surgery so they weren't able to join us, but were there with us in spirit.

Grandma and Grandpa Fischer came up for Book Fair day, and took the kids out to a pumpkin patch, so fun! They helped us plant tulips in the front, before the first frost, which will look great this spring.  Grandma even brought up pressed fall leaves for the kids to make murals with. Fun fall day!

Halloween was fun, and the kids went to the party at our church here in Lincoln. Katrina was a nurse, Heather was Belle, and Jonathan was an astronaut.  They got tons of candy!

Can't wait for Thanksgiving and the Missionary Convention!  This season seems to be flying by so fast.  It will be Christmas season before you know it!
