Peterson POSROIT #89


Before


After

Happy birthday, dear Kara:

Kara had a fabulous birthday. She got pizza, cake, ice cream and, of course, presents. The first one she opened was her favorite: a new stuffed kitty. She liked it so much that she wanted to keep holding it, which made opening the rest of her presents quite difficult.

Amy is making progress with her reading and writing. We're using the "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" book, and we've worked on the long e, short a, s, t, m and r sounds, so she can sound out simple words with those sounds. She has trouble following directions, though. She tends to jump ahead and do things before she's told to do them. We've heard that comes from being a fast learner.

Brenda can't believe her baby is two. Just another month and her big girl will be 5. They've grown and learned so much. Being a mom is the best thing ever, even if it does make time go too fast sometimes (and much too slow at others).

Joy survived his trip to Cambridge. The meetings went pretty well, and the area looked really pretty from the air. He didn't have time to see much of it while he was on the ground.

Interesting stuff:

-American gas price map
-If you need a laugh

QOSROIT: Assuming you actually had some spare time, what would be the first thing you would do with it?

Love,
The Petersons
