I love picking the kids up from school. I got Gillian first. She was in the big room riding bikes with Dorlisa. They had their backs to the door and didn’t see me when I walked in. I watched the two of them have a little conversation and then take off across the room. Dorlisa… Continue reading Pick up
After dinner, last night John was working on his homework and Gillian was working on a new picture. Gillian asked Daddy “Turn on the musgik!” Daddy didn’t understand what she was saying. It took me awhile to figure it out too. She wanted to listen to music while she worked on her picture. Below is… Continue reading Music

So I figured I would write a little post about Gillian meeting all of her favorites. The first characters we… Continue reading Princesses
Gillian cracks me up. She is a lot like John and just says the first things comes to her mind. Here are a few do my favorite Gillian comments from the past couple of weeks. Daddy brought Gillian home and told her to wait on the front porch. When Daddy joined her on the porch,… Continue reading Silly Gilly
On John’s first day of school, he came home and told us “We are going to have a music concert in June!” (check out First Day of First Grade).
