Yet another year has come and gone. We are stronger because of our trials and hopefully a little wiser too. Our girls have grown bigger and have learnt a little more about life and the world. Our major accomplishment was buying our first home in May. We invite you all to come visit! Now, we’d like to share a bit about us. Enjoy!
Jane is now 5 years old. She's “big and strong” and is developing a soft, kind personality. She likes to help us around the house and even changes Kaley's diapers. We started preschool (Homeschool) this year and Jane knows about half of the alphabet and the numbers from 1 to 10. We do lessons online and together at home, sing songs, draw and color. Jane likes to pretend that she is Toothless the Dragon. Together with her sisters they play many parts from the movies they watch. Jane also likes to dance and sing and she enjoys painting and playing with her stuffed animals.
Alyss is 3.5 years old. She is still cute and cuddly and just a joy to love and hug. She is very independent and can do almost everything that her older sister does. She knows a few letters and when she can sit still she colors really well. She now stays inside the lines most of the time and loves to use many colors so that everything looks like a rainbow. Her favorite letter is letter "A for Alyss". She still loves Lightning McQueen and has tons of him and other cars. She also likes elephants, fish and cats and riding ponies.
Kaley is 2.5 years old. She is the sweetest and kindest little girl I know. She gives “Noapte buna” (good night) kisses to her sisters and kisses us better when we get hurt. She loves to cuddle and give and receive hugs. She still sleeps in our bed but sometimes she ends up in her own bed which is right next to ours. Kaley likes to color with her sisters when we do lessons, she loves to dance and sing and is really good at learning and singing a lot of songs in Romanian and English. She knows all the main colors and counts like a pro. She recognizes letter A and Km which she calls her name.
Dahlee is still the great mother that she's always been. She likes to think that she's even better now that she's learnt about the different types of people she read about in the book “The Child Whisperer” by Carol Tuttle. She knows how to treat the girls a little better and understands herself a little better too. Dahlee has taught the girls a lot about the world and about school and they did lessons together this year and learned a lot about teaching and learning ways. Dahlee took the girls to Thanksgiving Point quite a bit. They visited the gardens, the farm, the dinosaurs and the children's museum and had a lot of fun while learning new things and enjoying the outdoors. The girls had fun at the pool in the summer and at different fall and winter activities when it got cold. They love to go see Santa and the Christmas lights all over the Salt Lake and Utah Valleys.
David had a successful year at work. He attended an international technology and education conference in Philadelphia where he was a presenter and had a full house with people asking questions and learning lots of things from him. He continued to work hard for Jordan School District and had a supplemental job at Barnes N Noble. He also read a lot of books, which is one of his passions, went on hikes, including Mt. Timpanogos and developed a better friendship with Chris, Lia's husband.
We hope you had a wonderful year as well and that you kept busy and were healthy and happy. We wish you a joyous new year 2016, lots of love, health and accomplishments and wonderful relationships.
