Look who got her first school picture:

well Alexis got her Kindergarten pictures back and I think they could have done a better job at getting her to smile, but they still came out nice. Abby had her pictures done on Monday so I will post those as well when I get them back.



Alexis is doing so good. We had our first parent teacher conference and her teacher said she is doing amazing and we really didn't even need a conference. (guess all that money for pre-school paid off… smiling) Anyway, she is reading beyond what is expected at this point and the teacher is happy to report that she is a great helper with the other students that are struggling. She loves to journal in her writing book and the teacher told her once about spacing her words and she picked it right up. She said Alexis is one smart girl (she must get that from her Uncles, unfortunately she got her attitude from me, UGH!). She is doing an amazing job of sounding out words and loves to read to herself at night now. We bought her the second set of the BOB books and now Abby has taken over set one. So last night we sat in the recliner, Abby on my lap and Alexis next to me. Alexis would read a couple of pages, then I would read Abby her pages and Abby would tell me what all the letters were in the words. Abby will be just as smart in no time if we can keep her sitting still. All is well, sorry it has been a while since I updated everyone.
