News from the NorthWest



Welcome to our Blog.  As many of you know (or should know by now) we had another baby girl in March of 2008.  Ruth is now 5 months old and growing rapidly.  She eats and sleeps a ton- we are very thankful for that.  Ethel and Katherine are So happy to be big sisters and at times think they are the Mom!
Ethel and KayKay are doing great.  Ethel will start 2nd grade in just a few weeks at a local elementary school (no more homeschooling for her).  KayKay will start her 2nd year in preschool and we will supplement a few days and homeschool her.  She is most excited about lunch!  That's our KayKay!
Things are going great here in the Northwest.  We are settled in to our new house now and loving it as well as the neighborhood and our neighbors.  There are a ton of kids so our girls have enjoyed the summer riding bikes (no more training wheels for Ethel-whooHoo), playing in the sprinkle, taking swimming lessons and hanging out at our great local parks for fresh produce and free concerts!
Ethel is going into her 3rd year of playing the violin-She still continues to enjoy it and will be learning her 4th finger soon.  It amazes me she can read music and has such an amazing ear and plays things from memory!  Of course we are working on our piano fund for Katherine-She reminds me everyday when she turns 5 she gets to take piano lessons.  We joke that Ruthie will take up the Drums or guitar and then we will have a girl version of the Jonas Brothers on our hands!
We hope you all enjoy our updates and hopefully this will not replace our yearly Christmas letter!
