School, Family, and Lots of Fun

Jodi had her first day of preschool last Tuesday. We were very anxious to see how she would do since it was her first time away from us for any period of time. We are so proud to say that Miss Jodi was once again an trooper, going right to her class with only a little upset. Later that day when she was walking with her class, she passed by a room that Fred was in and just said, "Hi Baba." She LOVES school and also started Kindermusic which she will participate in once a week. She still shys away from the other kids some because her language is not where theirs is but we know that will get better.

Jodi got to meet her Aunt Laura and Uncle Bobo AKA Latham over the weekend. She was shy with them for about one minute before becoming her silly self. She immediately took them to her room to show off her toys and clothes which was so funny. We're having to teach her about boundaries as Saturday morning she decided to give Uncle Bobo a wakeup call by walking right on into his room to get him up! We had a great time at the zoo and saw a chimp up close and personal. It was truly amazing to see him so close behind the glass and to realize how similar he is to us (some of us more than others.....:) ) We then got to meet up with the wonderful Earnhardt family for dinner which was great! These are our cousins on my dad's side of the family. What a special day!! We got to sing Happy Birthday to Aunt Laura on Sunday and celebrated all day which Jodi thought was pretty cool. Now that Jodi understands more about birthdays, she keeps asking when hers is. I hate to tell her she has to wait until May!! She continues to blossom before our very eyes and we cannot express how blessed we feel to be her parents. She keeps us smiling and on our toes! Love to you!!
