Feb 4 - Smiles and School

At home, this girl is often grins, giggles, and mischief.

She wore piggies every day for about 3 weeks. She never even touched them. Then one day, she reached up and pulled them both out, minutes after they were put in. For about 3 days, Vannan put them in, she pulled them out. Vannan quit putting them in. Maybe we'll try them again soon for summer. She liked the tiny little piggies that made noise the best. She still doesn't care for large bulky hair bows, nor does she like hats or head bands. You gotta LOVE that grin!

She also loves to help the other kids with their school work.

Joel is doing his Horizon Math here.

Currently, he is 10 lessons from finishing it.
Just like his Grandpa, Mom, Dad, various uncles, aunts, etc.
He is very good at math.
It's in his blood.

He loves when LaRue sits with him like this, hanging on his every word while he explains the concepts of counting, numbers, place value, money, time, and so many other things.
