Sydney's first sleepover!

Well it finally happened, Sydney was invited to a sleepover at one of her friends house. She was invited to Molly I's house to spend the night with 6 girls. They spent the night doing crafts, dancing and telling stories. I didn't sleep well at all because I was worried about her all night. She was so tired today but they did get to bed at 1115 and woke up a little after 7. I think tomorrow will be bad but at least she will be at school for most of it.
Julia sure missed Sydney while she was gone and it was weird with just one child to get ready in the morning. We missed her but I am also so proud of her to go and have fun with her friends. I think there will be many more sleepovers in her future.
While Sydney was away we had Dad and Margie over for dinner last night. Dad needed to get out of the house after his TURP procedure last Tuesday and some complications that landed him in the ER on Wednesday night. He is doing much better now but this little episode in his health really took a tole on him and he was upset by the complications he had. It was a nice dinner of steaks on the grill and it was fun.

Sydney and 2nd grade!

Sydney is loving 2nd grade and has grown up so much this year. She is reading at a 3rd grade reading level and enjoys reading so much. I love to watch her enjoy a new book and spend time relaxing on the weekend reading. She received her first Reconciliation on November 17th. She did a great job and wasn't even nervous. We celebrated with a dinner beforehand with Grandpa and Margie at Paparazzi's. It was a very special evening.

She is very busy with school and gymnastics. She still takes from Ms. Angie's Playground and loves to work on her skills on the bar. She is doing a great job learning her walkover's and working hard on backbends. she enjoys trying back handsprings but still needs to practice that one.

She is growing up so fast and doing such great things every day. Tonight she actually lost her 5th tooth and was just as excited as when she lost her first.

Julia's 4th Birthday

Happy Birthday Julia! The day started with Julia so excited to get her morning presents. She received star war's pjs, a barbie razor scooter and squinkies! We had a full day planned of lunch with friends and then an evening dinner with family to celebrate. Julia invited Ana cheng, will Lynch and Emily Arnold to her lunch and they all had fun and enjoyed the cupcakes. Then for dinner we had spagetti and meatballs with Margie, Grandpa, Uncle Mike, Aunt Hattie and Molly. She received cupcake clothes from Margie and grandpa, and Hello Kitty squinkies from the Moon's.
I can't believe that this little girl is 4. She is growing up way too fast and very quick witted for a four year old. She also has a great burping talent that will come in handy in her school age years.
