First Day of School!!

Today Sofie went to  K4.  She was excited to go.  When we got to the crowded gym she started to feel nervous, but she did what she had to do, and followed the line right into the room.  Hooray for Sofia!!!

Summer of 2013

We are back, and we have a lot of ground to cover.  What a summer! Sofia had fun times with family and friends. Take a look.  (Sorry some of the pics are sideways.)

 Playing with Lucy and Ethel, our pet chickens.  You can't tell from her face, but she really does love them.

 A Sunday visit with Omama.

 Riding a two wheeler! Mom has to start jogging again.

Her last day at preschool with friends Megan and Clara and others.

 Tomato girl!!  We have 14 tomato plants, and Sofie eats everyone as they turn red.
