Weekly Update

Abby has a thing against wearing shoes. She hates it! She will scream the whole time that we are putting the shoes on her, like we are torturing her. She is like her momma and likes to have feet bare. She is a stinker! Since she is walking everywhere now, we are working on her wearing shoes. Well, last Sunday was the first time that we were able to keep her shoes on for about 20 minutes!! Record!! Here she is walking in her white sandals, she hates walking in shoes, so Rick was holding her hand with Haley. She seemed to be ok with walking in shoes if someone was holding her hand.

Haley came home from school saying that she was Student of the Month! Pretty high honor! We are happy that she is doing so well in her first year of Middle School. She always comes home with funny stories about her teachers. She is a teachers pet in her English class, the teacher always awards her with candy. Reminds me of me in my first year of middle school, Mr. Kashiwamura would always reward Amy Black and I for being good in class. He would also take us out for pizza and ice cream in Oakland! Fun times! She must take after her mom:)

I took the kids for a walk this morning and they wanted a picture on the bar. Abby is becoming more interested in the park which makes it fun, she likes the swings and to climb up to the slide. We are loving the cooler weather!
