January and February news...

There hasn't actually been all that much news to report. The girls have been pretty healthy, other than a few minor colds here and there. Natali loves preschool. When she misses it, either because of a long weekend or a sick day, she gets her dolls and animals in a circle and sits down. "Now, children, what are we going to talk about today?" She's becoming a really big helper, and it's amazing the connections she makes! Her class sang "Go Ye, Go Ye, Into the World" and she'd walk around the house while they were learning it singing "Stop ye, stop ye" - another song has the line "I don't want to be a Sadducee" after which she sings "I don't want to be a happy-you-see."

Kjirsten is very mobile. She understands a lot – she just isn't talking much yet. She says "mama" or "papa" when she wants to, but not if we tell her too! But if we ask her to find her shoes or a ball or book, she can definitely do that. And she knows how to bug her older sister!

And, yes, she has figured out how to drive the car in the picture…
