Spring is almost here, and we've definitely kept busy these past few months.
Rose loves kindergarten, and cries when school is closed due to the weather. It's hard to believe that she'll be a first grader soon. But she's definitely ready, as she reads very well and can even do addition and subtraction. Rose loves going to Catholic school, and it's helped her to be more compassionate and pay attention better in mass. She enjoys singing along to songs she knows and "reading" along in the missal. She also leads the family in prayer every night before dinner and has given up meat on Fridays during Lent, even though she's not required to do so for a few years. Rose has now lost six teeth - four on the bottom and two on the top. Rose started Jr. Hoops basketball a few weeks ago. She's a good dribbler, but needs to work on her shooting to get up to the 8' basket. Regardless, she's having tons of fun.
Since we last posted, Jacob turned 4. He won't tell you that he loves preschool, but he does. Jacob loves talking about his day and the kids in his class. With the help of his big sister, he's doing a great job learning to count, write, and recognize letters and numbers. Like he sister, he loves singing to himself and entertaining himself with books and Legos. He also enjoys cooking, baking, and crafting with Mamaw and Papa.
