Sorry It been while that I haven't posted on the blog.

Hope everyone doing great. Some new on Anna. She had her six year old birthday not to long ago and she had to do Belle. She has grown some. This past few months Anna has lost two teeth and she had pulled them out on her own. I was going to do the one tooth tonight ,but she got it out before I did. She was brave about doing it. Last time both children lost the teeth on the same days. Anna is doing pretty good in school this year. She has a lot friends I think. We was at Walmart one night and one the kids said your Nicholas mom. I had Anna with me that night. And she new who it was . I am going to get off of here.

Anna painting with Mommy at Artsmart class.

Anna went with me Friday to Artsmart. She got a small snowman and a mouse and I let her paint them while I was doing something there. She enjoyed it. I have been painting a candle for Christmas. I am still working on it. Am about done with the candle so next I will have to put the light in it. The kids have been going for sometime now to do clay and other projects there. They enjoy going. There was a lady that we meet at Kinderclass with Nicholas long time ago she came in and we talked and she took Anna pictures with her Iphone. Then sent to me. Thanks to her.
