Bits and Pieces...

Every day I think about what I'd like to write here in this little piece of my life. It seems like a million things happen in our lives and I want to share it with everyone. I only wish that I had the time to sit down and write.

So, today you get bits and pieces from the Twedts' lives...

Owen is really, really walking now. He walks more than he crawls. Although, he still falls down pretty often.

Owen sings in the car now. I usually have kid music going when we're driving and he sings along and if he really likes the song-- he claps and waves his hands over his head. For example, the song can be playing along and Owen just goes "aahh, ahh, aaahhh..." It's super cute.

We had our first parent-teacher conference (EVER) with Anna's preschool teacher and Anna is doing wonderfully at school. She passed all the -- oh I don't know what to call them -- testing questions and exercises without any trouble or assistance from the teacher. This includes writing all her letters, grouping, patterns, etc. They also take them aside from time to time and ask them short questions and put them in their files so we can see them later. One of the questions was, "Do you ever get in trouble at home?" Anna's answer, "No." Funny, funny girl. But I am soooo proud of her and know she will do so well in school.

That brings me to another point. Since we are in temporary housing and we don't know where we will be living next year, we kind of have to go to a couple of kindergarten roundups (different districts-since we live close to alot of them). We'll go to two. So, last night was my first one and I can't believe, not in one minute that my sweet little girl who is such a blessing to me and I love being with and having her home (yes-run on sentence and yes, I love having her here most of the time :)) will be going to all day kindergarten next year. Why, why does the time have to go so fast? I love her sooooo very much and I can't bear to send her out to the big, bad world... But I will and I can only pray that as a parent, I've done okay with her and she will do well -- but miss me of course...

We have yet to sell the house. We've had a ton of people through and no offers. We've not heard any negative feedback about the house or the price. However, we did find out that only two houses in our price range have sold since December. God will provide. God brought us here and it will only be a matter of time. I just get so impatient sometimes because I feel like that is one thing that is holding us back from truly "moving" here.

I miss my friends. I really do. I miss home...

And, I'm soooo excited to go back to KS next week! Woo Hoo!

Love,
Becky
