December Updates

Isaac is such a sweet boy. He has a ton of friends at his daycare. He is very popular with the other kids, just like Ana was. His teachers tell us he shows a lot of empathy, comforting other kids when they are upset. He has a little girlfriend called Maggie. Apparently the other day they were walking around holding hands, and reading books together with Isaac resting his head on Maggie's shoulder. Typically Maggie gets to school before Isaac and the teachers tell us she takes his picture off the wall and sits and holds it until he gets there. Awwwww.

We have noticed that Isaac is very artistic. He is really careful when using a pen and really takes his time. James and I call his work "Ramblings of a Maniac"(as it is the only time he is still).  What is really cool is that if you ask him what he is drawing he will tell you, so he obviously has a plan! Usually he says he is drawing eyes!?
















This is a boat














And this is a car















Ana was excited to perform in her Christmas show. Well, she was excited to wear the dress and see her friends. She seemed a little bored during the actual show! It is fairly impossible to get photographs of the kids in the show. Too many parents with paparazzi style cameras trying to get close to the stage.






Ana continues to grow up at an amazing rate (both physically and personality wise). He reading is just incredible. She is always reading road signs and things we drive past, and some words she reads astonish me. She asks a lot about how to spell things too. it is so nice she has such an interest in learning!

This month she went on a sleepover with Cami. It is verrry quiet around here when she is away.


Matching PJs!! And arguing over who is taller :)

An Early Christmas

Since Ana and are are spending Christmas in England this year (yay) we wanted to have our own family Christmas before we left.







Isaac is obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba, so he was over the moon to receive Plex and Muno beanies!! He carried them everywhere with him all day, hugging them. While Ana and I were in England Isaac got his big prezzie from Santa. A train table!!!
