Stephen finished the front siding project this past fall, and I’m so proud. He re-sided the three walls of our garage. Since it happens to be the most prominent part of our home, I’m happy it’s beautiful now. He widened the pop-out window above the garage to add trim around the window. He hung new lanterns and squared off and framed our garage door. That’s my favorite part!

Cooper and Silas both played soccer and finished proudly with a trophy. Both boys learned to blow bubbles with gum, and Silas is a pro at snapping his fingers. If you’re playing a board game with him, and he’s snapping his fingers, watch out! That means he’s pretty confident he’s beating you.

Cooper can read now! He’s getting good at sounding out words and stringing the sounds together. Mostly he reads 3 and 4 letter words. He made his turkey for kindergarten, and Brynn needed to make one of her own.

Brynn took ballet and mostly learned to be a class clown. She also had her first swim lessons, which she was very brave for.
