Josh & Courtney's Valentines Party

Here is Josh at his party getting ready to read his cards he got from his classmates. He was so excited. And I got a surprise when I arrived at his party early, they had indoor recess due to the cold weather, as Josh came over to give me a hug, he was holding on to a girls hand, he did let go of her hand to give me a hug, then reached back for her had and walked into class. I don't know if I am ready for this.

Courtney was so proud of the bag she decorated for her cards.

I got to split my time between Josh & Courtneys parties. Carley's teacher doesn't allow parents to attend the parties. I was kinda sad at first, but realized it was more time I got to spend with the other kids.

CHRISTmas 2006

Nonie & Papa started a new tradition, they came to our house during the week with one present for each of the kids to open. The kids call it "Alone Time". They really enjoyed it. Luckly for the parents it was the biggest gift they got so we didn't have to haul it home.

Carley got a American Girl Doll organizer

Josh gave Mom & Dad a picture for CHRISTmas. The antlers are his hands and the face is his foot. Steve & I love these gifts.

Courtney made a wreath out of her hand prints.
We are really blessed that our children have great teachers.
