We took "real" family pictures this year and I am quite pleased with how they turned out. I can't believe how time just seems to go swiftly by these days. Jorden has already finished one semester of Med School and has been doing great and studying hard. Maren started first grade and has a great teacher and really enjoys her classmates. She is my big helper and loves telling her younger siblings what to do. Celiese started full-day kindergarten and she's handling it quite well..although she does get pretty tired. She's had a few play dates with a girl in her class that happened to live a 2 minute walk away from us. She's still singing and dancing the day away and enjoying life. Luke just started going to a co-op preschool once a week (he's been twice) and absolutely loves it. It's so cute to see him put on his little back pack. We were a little worried because he still doesn't like to go places without mom or dad...but he did great. Luke is great at folding towels and putting laundry away. As for me, I had a hard time sending my girls to all day school and I missing them more than I thought I would..but I'm starting to get used to it. Luke follows me around all day and we play his favorite game UNO together to pass the time until the girls get home and play with him. We love our new place in Sahuarita, Arizona as well as our ward. There are a lot of young families here and it makes for lots of fun for the kids and moms for me to talk with. We hope you all have a wonderful year and send you lots of love!
