Where We're at Now (Corrie Edition)

Corrie is off to a good start this year. In school, she is excelling in reading (already known!) and is learning multiplication and division in math. She has a quick and agile mind. Brian took a picture of her for Stocksy (online stock photography thingy). It is really a combination of her head against the sky with the branches of a tree coming out of the back of hair. Artsy :) Well, someone showed him a brochure they used this photo of corrie for... it was an informational meeting on understanding child anxiety.
I don't think she has a lot of anxiety but I do often wonder what is going on inside her brain!
They talked about a famous chalk artist in Sunday school one morning and she really enjoyed it :)
Finally, both girls ran in a kids 1K last weekend with some friends. They had fun and each got a medal. But I think they enjoyed playing and exploring and imagining after the race at the park even more :)

Where We're at Now (Mary edition)

Mary and I enjoy the days she doesn't have school... counting down the days till she does have school and waiting till we can get Corrie. She has a super sweet friend at school named Ava :)
And she was a stuffy bunny for Halloween this year. Seems she has been encountering new germs and they keep her sniffling and coughing sometimes. Nothing too serious. Yesterday caused alarm when she learned that she couldn't hum thru her nose!
Also, she would like to be a queen when she grows up because she could "sit on a throne and the king could do all the work!"
