Growing UP

My little girls seem to be growing up too quickly right now! They are increasingly more perceptive of their surroundings- & it's obvious by their clever comments.

**Madisen**
She LOVES to sing! I hear her singing primary & other songs throughout the day & I'm constantly impressed at how many words she remembers accurately.

She really is tender hearted & tries to include Caitlyn in what ever she's doing.

Her new favorite colors are pink, purple, & blue. (Notice we've added 2 colors to the repertoire.)

Her fine motor skills have greatly improved over the last few months- she colors in the lines, uses scissors appropriately, and tries to correctly form letters.

Madisen got her first CTR ring on Sunday and she wears it each day with pride! I couldn't resist snapping this picture of my grinning girl who was elated to show off her new jewelry!


**Caitlyn**

You know what they say- The best things come in small packages! So true, she brings 100% smiles to us! (When she's not whining, that is.)

She only knows 1 volume- loud!

It's fun to hear such a little body talk like she's 4. The other day after we dropped Madisen off at preschool she said, "I don't want to go home." I asked where she'd like to go & she said, "To Kiera's."

She also loves to sing & amazes me with the songs she can sing! My favorite is when she insists on singing "Sunbeam" all by herself!

I feel blessed to have these girls in my life!

They really are growing up too fast aren't they!?!?!
So cute! I miss your family so much.
We're trying to remind Nathan that they're are other volume levels besides 'loud' too! :)
And the only way we can get Daniel to sing is if we give him a wooden spoon to conduct the singing for FHE.

I love your little girls. It's fun to watch our children learn new things every day. And good for you for being grateful and looking at the positives! Oh, and Avery has the same red&pink striped dress as Madisen (to grow into). We must shop at the same places!

So cute. It's sad that they grow up so fast, but each stage is so much fun (well, most of them are . . .)

Your girls are so cute! Isaac got a CTR ring too and he is also very proud about it and loves it! I love this age! So excited to see your new addition!


Oh, I loved the temple family home evening! We need to do that!
