Easy Rider



Katie has learned to ride her bike without training wheels! We have been practicing a lot recently and Katie has been both fearless and dedicated to learning to ride. After about 3 sessions without training weheels, suddenly she 'got it' and was off. She can ride pretty much indefinitely without putting her feet down. Turns are still a little tricky however. We went out an got her a new 'powder puff' girls bike (not shown) and we plan to be doing a good deal of riding in the coming months.

Go Katie go!

Green Fire Monkey


Andy just played his first ever soccer game! His team name is "The Green Fire Monkeys", which is inspired by Andy himself who won't stop chattering about his Fire Monkey Pok-e-mon card. His favorite parts of the game seem to be the snack time, and when you do the cheers at the end. :)

Kindergarten!



Katie started Kindergarten this week. Lots big changes for this big girl. New school, new friends, new teacher, new shcedule. (Not to mention new matching Hello Kitty Backpack, Lunchbox, and other stuff.) She is handling it all like a champ and is very excited.

Quotes from Katie:

"I like my school"

"I like playing with my friends"

"My teacher is fun"

"I have a fun playground, I can swing high on my swings, we have a park right at school so I dont have to go in a car to get there"

"And that's it."
