Sweet ABC morning!

I have been taking a little girl, of one of Danny's co-workers, to school for the last week. She comes just a little before 7am and so seance she is still in 1st grade, the kids have a lot of fun with her. We play game's, have breakfast, and they play.Today I came down and Alana and this little girl were playing one particular game, that was both sweet and just made me smile. You see I I finely found a way to trick Alana into reading. Most of you know that for the last 2 years I have been Trying to get Alana to read to me, and then my sister-in-law gave me some collared little marshmallow's. SO I have been giving the kids one little marshmallow every time they read a ward to me. Today when I came down they 2 girls were sprawled on the flore with the flash cards reading to each other.( latter Alana let me know that I owed them 10 marshmallows. ) I just couldn't believe my eye's! MY little girl not only reading but reading voluntarily! I am really excited and THANK YOU Kariann for the marshmallow's!!!!

I lost my camera

I am sad to say that within the move We lost our camera. We have moved to Bremerton WA. We have a great house and Alana has started 1ts grade. Dante loves to play and do a little bit of reading. Danny loves his new job. We have had his mom and dad visit us, and now his brother. It is nice to see all the family. I will up date again later!
