January Fun!

Hi All -

We've been having some January fun these last few weeks! Last weekend, I took off for an amazing girls weekend/college reunion with my college roomies, Michelle, Katy, and Meghan!

It was a total blast and I love my amazing husband Michael and my parents for watching Kenley while I was gone! Kenley spent most of the weekend with Bebe and Papa, where she helped shop for the last few items for Baby Sugar and had a ladies lunch with Michal, Bebe, and Nan. 


Here are a few miscellaneous pictures of Kenley - here she is actually drawing a PERSON - so crazy! Look, it has a head, and a face, and a body! Wowow!

Today we had brunch with the Connellys and friends - here's Kenley having juice with Finn. Kenley now says that she and Finn are married and that daddy was the flower girl at their wedding. 

Kenley and her monkey.

We have also signed Kenley up for a month of gymboree classes! Michael took her this Saturday, where they "did music," "went camping," and "HAD SO MUCH FUNNN!!!" 

This week we had our annual parent teacher conference with Kenley's teacher at day care.  It was nice to hear about how she's doing with her friends and teachers.  We learned that she has excellent conceptual awareness, language skills, and large and small motor skills. She also "acts out," "disregards directions," and "expresses her emotions in strong bursts."  In summary, "Kenley is very bright though has trouble focusing on pursuit of healthy outlets." Oy. Overall, we were not surprised at anything we heard and are proud of both our spunky little girl and her amazing, patient, understanding teachers.

Speaking of language skills, Michael has been recording some of the more funny things she has been coming up with lately.

On why Baby Friesen is inside Michal's belly: "Mymy had her belly cracked and sugar flew in there to be warm"

On Seattle:

Kenley: Are we going to the Berry Patch today?
Me: No Berry Patch is closed. You get to spend all day with Daddy. What should we do?
Kenley: Go play in Seattle. It's a fun place to eat and shop.

On pictures of Michael before his beard:
KK: Daddy, where's your beard?
ME: Oh honey, I just hadn't grown it yet.
KK: You mean...somebody TOOK it???

On circle time: "Daddy!! I'M SORRY! You can't do that right now! You have to come to circle time!"

"Daddy, are you pooping yourself?"

Looking forward to February and all the exciting events (ok, just one in particular) that are coming up!
