Life is....busy!

It seems that we have been going nonstop since the school year began. Now that our school's annual fundraiser, The Taste of St. Joe's, is over for the year, I am hoping our pace will slow down for a little while! Jamison has become an excellent little reader...she has begun the Reading Counts program at school and will start reading at our school Mass in January. She is also doing great in her extra curricular activities (piano, dance, gymnastics). She is working on her third song book in piano -- Christmas music -- and has chosen to play "Silent Night" and "Away in a Manger" in her recital. Grayson is still loving his school. He can read and spell his name and loves to "write" stories. He dictates them and his teacher writes it down. My favorite so far is from the week after Thanksgiving. It was just one sentence, "I ate Lucky Charms for Thanksgiving." We are looking forward to a PLANNED trip home at Christmas. I think we had enough unplanned ones this year to last a while. I am including some updated pictures....Jamison and Grayson having fun at home and Nick and I at The Taste of St. Joe's.
