Paola is starting to walk

Since many English speaking people have trouble pronouncing Paola's name we have an alternative for you. We have taken to calling her Pabla as a nickname. That should be easier to pronounce.

She took 8 steps a few days ago. We'll post pics once we have internet hooked up at the new house.

Our phone should be connected today - (620) 225-0144 - but we won't be home until after Memorial day holiday.

Gabby and Suzy both won prizes for Accelerated Reader at school. Gabby won 1st place in her grade and the entire school with 400.3 points. Suzy was first place in her grade and 3rd in the school with 175 points. The second place reader for the school got 183 points, so Gabby annihilated the competition.

When Gabby toured the school she'll be attending for 5th grade, she saw that one of the 5th grade students read 499 points worth of AR books, so she has made 500 points her new goal.

We almost have everything moved into the new home - just one more trailer load. Melca is excited about being the Queen of the home again. Having her parents live with us was a blessing, but also a challenge.

So I take it you will all be one big happy family again? I am glad you are all under one roof. I just hope that roof stays on with the tornadoes and all.
