Last Wednesday night...

Last Wednesday night was Kaleigh's assessment for first grade at the charter school. She did great and it was exciting to see the new school!

The biggest surprise came when she was asked to write her name on the line and she did it in cursive. We had no idea she even knew how to do that! Surely she didn't learn it in Kindergarten. When I asked her where she learned it she told me she taught herself. Smart cookie! I was so impressed and HAD to take a picture of it. Not bad for a 6 year old who taught herself, right?!
Her new school. It's beautiful inside and out!
That night when we got home, we had some surprise visitors a 9 pm. MY DAD, MY MOM AND SARAH!!!! We had absolutely no idea they were coming! I was beyond shocked. In a good way, of coarse. It was so exciting for many reasons but extra special since my dad just got out of the hospital from his bone marrow transplant. What a nice surprise! Kaleigh and Shayla's room is under construction so they are sleeping on mattresses on the play room floor with Auntie Sarah. They love it!
Peyton is SUCH a Grandpas girl! She loves him to pieces and I think it's safe to say the feeling is mutual!Grandma is so wonderful to the girls and shows them with words and actions! She is constantly kissing, hugging and talking to them. They love her to death!

They have been here for a week now and we have been having so much fun! There have been a lot, perhaps too many, late nights and laughter. I don't think we have got to bed before 2am once! (Except the girls, of coarse) We are so glad they are here!
