Parents, a princess and a pirate

Hello. Monday afternoon. Kylie and Matthew are playing together in the living room so I thought I would catch up for a second.
Our weekend was good and relaxing. Now that wrestling is done, we actually had a Saturday to get some stuff done. Brett took K to the store and I took M on errands with me. Easier to get them done if you're just with one child. Tom and Megan came over on Saturday night to hang out for a while. I doubt they had much fun, we're not exciting people and just sat around and talked.

I did go to my friend Sara's house last week. Left after M's 9 month appt, which went well. He is in the 10% for weight and 50% for height. The 6 hour drive was long but the kids did very well so I can't complain. I am looking forward to having them old enough to eat in the car, stopping for 45 mins for gas, dinner and bathroom breaks drove me crazy! But it was good to see Sara. She is doing ok but is very ready to move. Nick works tons of hours, he had a meeting on Wednesday night that was from 6-midnight. He got home at 10:30pm because he just left. But he did accept the transfer so they will be moving back here about April or so. They're coming down this week to look for houses.
Kylie and Owen played pretty well together. But their gender differences were very obvious this time. Owen wanted to shoot things and Kylie wanted to put his pirates to bed. Matthew and Sophie did good too, she is growing like a weed. She weighs more the Matthew now and is 2 months younger. Her skin is so pretty and just perfect.
Kylie had her parent/teacher conference last week. It went very well. The teachers did a formal evaluation of her, which she passed with flying colors. She can tell you her first and last name and age. She can identify body parts, stand on one foot, walk tiptoe and identify different objects. She can draw a circle, horizontal and vertical line (if you have a picture for her to see). And she can change a word into pural or -ing. Her teachers said that she listens well, talks clearly, makes friends easily, and that the other kids are drawn to her. She plays alone and with others and participates in discussion time and group activities. They wrote "Kylie is a sweet little girl. She is quick to learn. We enjoy having her in class. She seems to enjoy school." And Kylie knows the Pledge of Allegiance! Who knew???
Well, that's about it for now.
