One of the advantages of sending Anna to the same preschool as Carolyn is that she gets to do all the same fun things! So today was Anna’s first field trip, just like Carolyn’s four years ago. Anna was pretty upset when we got to the farm, because she “wanted to go to school today!” [...]

Anna got to go to her preschool today and meet her teachers! She was a tiny bit shy at first, but then warmed up pretty quickly. She apparently thought she needed to show off every bit of knowledge she’s already stored up, as she walked around the room pointing out various things that had her [...]

Anna has her first tooth today! For the past few days, I’ve been certain she was teething, and I kept sticking my finger in her mouth to check, but only found bumps on her bottom gum. Today, I found a tooth! Her bottom right central incisor, to be exact. Maybe tonight Anna will remember how [...]

Well, aside from the snow first thing this morning (in mid April?!?) we had a great day, which involved church, egg hunts, kite flying, family and food!
