A friend of mine is teaching Isabel and me calligraphy! Today we had our first lesson. Here is Isabel's practice paper.

Luke has read all of the Harry Potter books. For the last couple of months, every night he has been reading to the girls starting with book one. The girls love their big brother reading to them and he reads until he falls asleep at the end of their bed.

I have a book that my parents gave me called the Preschooler's Busy Book that I highly recommend. Great activities to do or make with household items. My goal right now is to be using it more with Sylvia since she needs to be working on, creating, putting together, making, gluing or mixing on a daily basis and if I am not showing her and doing with her, then I find huge messes. Here is a project she came up with herself yesterday while the windshield replacement guys were working on our car in the driveway.
Merry Christmas!


Here we are in downtown Tucson. There is only one "skyscraper" if you could call it that. We had sandwiches next to it...

The UniSource Energy Tower! Don't know what they do there, but it sounds uni-riffic!

Wow! Luke has never seen a building so tall!

Isabel!

Hazel!

SPROUT FACE!


This is what happens when you tell Sylvia that she can put her feet in the water.

Sylvia has helped me fully understand the give an inch and they take a mile saying.
