Spencer Started Preschool!

A few weeks ago Spencer started preschool. He goes to the same place Emmy does but he's in a class for 3 yr. olds. They both go 3 days a week for 3 hours each day. Sometimes they have recess at the same time and they always play together if they do. Emmy says that Spencer runs over to her and gives her a big hug when he sees her. He asked me to ask Emmy's teacher if he could be in her class! Spencer is doing great and likes that he is a "big boy" now. The other day their class was learning about China, and he came home and told me that in China they eat with "chapsticks". It was pretty funny. He was so serious too.
Emmy is doing awesome with her reading. She reads to us all the time. She could really just skip kindergarten and go straight to 1st grade.
I will post new pictures soon!

Valley Of Fire

We took the kids to Valley of Fire last weekend; they hiked about 1.5 miles! Spencer was all about exploring and going off the trial. Emmy was actually following him for the first time. It was a fun little trip and only about an hour drive from our house.







Emmy got her hair cut again, it was about 3 or 4 inches this time. Her bangs are now almost fully grown out.
