I've been slacking!

I've been lazy with my blog lately! Not too much has been going on here. We've finally gotten back into a schedule around here. Kayla is loving school. Her teachers are Mrs. Prager, and Mrs. Grey. They are very sweet ladies and are great teachers. I was a little worried about how good the program was going to be, but it's very good. Kayla brings home a homework assignment every night and has a reading log we have to keep up with. She has impressed her teachers with how well she can recognize letters and she can even write them all now. She also can write her name without any help at all. I've been working on her with reading and she's starting to get the smaller words down. Hopefully she'll be reading books by the time she's 5. She's also getting ready to start her soccer season. She got to meet her team last week. They don't have a team name yet, but they are orange and black. I'll post pictures of her as soon as we have her whole uniform. Joe is going to be a referee for her team. It should be a lot of fun. I think I'm just as excited about it as she is!
Alyssa has suprised me with how she's adapting to Kayla being gone. I thought she would play with all of Kayla's toys and enjoy having me to herself, but instead when I ask her what she wants to do, she asks to watch her favorite show and lay on the couch the whole time Kayla's gone. I think she just enjoys the quiet. For me, it's been different only having one kid at home again. Grocery shopping sure is easier with just one.
We're getting ready to go on a vacation!! We're going to go camping with Joe's family for a few days and then we're heading up to Colorado Springs and Denver for a couple of days. I'm excited to get out of the house for a change. I've never been to Denver or Colorado Springs either. Plus, I get to see my new nephew Sam and his big sister Naomi. That should be fun. I'll have plenty of pictures to post when we get back, so until then....
