Addison began her 3rd year at Willamette Christian (Previously Cornerstone), as a Kindergarten student. Her days increased from half days of 3 days / week to 5 days / week. She absolutely loves school as her class is learning all letters and recently began reading 3 and 4 letter words. What an incredible moment as parents, to hear your child putting letters together and forming words. Her curiosity with sight words as we are driving or walking around a store is fun to watch. With Addi in school three days / week Gwyneth is experiencing quality time with her mom. They spend their time at the Courthouse Athletic Club getting fit and increasing Gwynnie's friend pool, gaining curiosity at the Gilbert House, drinking tea and 'hot chalky' before bible study on Tuesday's, walking Roxy, and riding horses at the Carousel.
Six months prior to her 3rd birthday Gwynnie knew of three things she wanted to happen on her special day. First, she can begin chewing gum, and thanks to her sister Addison, Gwynnie had a good chew the morning of. Secondly, she wanted to invite friends to the library for story time and discovery village. And finally, Gwynnie wanted to go ice skating. Well, two out of three ain't that bad. Like three out of the last four years Gwnnie's special day had some 'INTERESTING' weather. The day we brought her home from the hospital the electricity turned off due to 80 mph winds; the temperature that night in the house got down in the 50's and it wasn't until late the next morning did the electricity turn back on. Last year (2nd birthday) snow began to fall and didn't stop for a few days. This year was an ice storm and because of that we had to put the ice skating trip on hold. We did make the trip a week later (see picture).
