Playing in the Woods

Playing in the woods, a photo by Dan and Ann on Flickr.

We've had some really good fall weather and the girls are playing outside as much as possible. Soon, it won't be so nice.

Both girls are loving school. We had a conference with Sadie's teacher and Sadie is having a great year. She excels at reading, makes connections quickly, has a lot of knowledge to share and is a good friend to her classmates.

Helena is learning a lot in Montessori. They are working to help her spell her name. She usually says "H E H E A", so she's getting there! Her teacher brought a big tree stump into the classroom and Helena loves to put on safety goggles and hammer nails into the stump. She will go to the fire station tomorrow with her class and she is very excited.

Sadie's first grade picture came out great. Helena's pictures were also adorable. It was hard to choose the best pose. We'll share these soon!

Happy Halloween!

The girls had a fun Halloween, despite snow on the ground. They collected lots of candy and lots of money for UNICEF.
