Hello Everyone! We are going to attempt a blog and keep it current! What an undertaking...but we will do our best!
This has been a great year! Always something happening at the Frank home...let me highlight just a few! Andrew started Kindergarten this year! Hard to believe...he is such a little man. He is in a dual-language class. It is very cool! He spends half of his day learning in English and the other in Spanish. It is a learning experience for all of us. Abbie is so excited and ready to start next year. She will also be in a dual-language class! Abbie is my big helper during the day. I will miss her next year when she goes to school.
Kayla came home for the summer and is still here! She is growing like a weed! Can't believe how tall she is getting! She is in fourth grade this year! She has been working very hard and her grades have proved it! All A's and 1 B! She is in the honor choir at school and has gotten to be a part of several performances! She also had a solo part in the kids choir Christmas program. She did a super job! (Andrew was "Joseph")
Sam is quite the kid! He is very energetic and passionate about everything! He talks like crazy...to anyone and everyone! He has a very sweet dispositon...but remember he is 2! The attitude creeps out once in awhile! Levi just celebrated his 1st birthday! The big kids really enjoyed pampering him on his big day!
We also added a family pet in June! His name is Louie! He is a St. Bernard/hound mix. He weighs in at about 98 pounds! He is so gentle and a delight to all of us! He has been a source of much laughter. We built the kids a play set in May...and we think Louie likes it more than they do! He climbs the stairs to get in the playhouse...he has a better view of the neighborhood that way! He also enjoys going down the slide! We really need to get it on video! Fun times!
A very merry Christmas to your family from ours!
Aren't they the cutest kids? I love having pictures done...as most of you know! Seems like with each additional kid it takes a little bit more effort to get pictures that I really like! I have come to terms that there will be fewer perfect pictures in the years to come...but I guess that is what makes them priceless. I can remember when we were having a family picture taken for the church directory. I did not want pictures done that day and I was overruled by my mom and dad. I was told that I didn't have to smile...just had to be in the picture! Well I didn't smile...and was that ever a mistake! I would have to call it an "ugly face". That picture actually ended up with Grandma Bull and the last time I saw it ...it was in Uncle Dan's old room on the porch on Griffith! Hope it doesn't ever resurface!
