Sorry everyone, no new blogs for the last week. Just some fun anecdotes and photos. last weekend Lilja was sick and this week we have just been so busy..Most exciting part of the week?? Our tickets are booked to Holland and Germany for our summer vacation. Lilja and I will go to Holland first and then meet Aran in Germany with his whole family. Going to be such a fun and exciting trip.. already looking forward to it!! Lilja will have more stamps in her passport by her 6th year than I have..
Second exciting part of this week.. Lilja is reading and taking off.. Wow.. did not expect this huge leap in development. When I came to Durango I set up an "America Reads' reading tutoring program in the schools through Americorps.So I kind of know something about teaching reading.. Well, don't need my tips for this girl.. she just got it.. I will try and make a video soon of her reading..
so tonight we were reading "Tom and his mom" the pages go like this: Tom's mom is on a box. Tom's mom can fix it.. well the word "dime" was in one of the pages.. Lilja sounded out the word and got it by herself.. then she said: Momma, that is a beautiful word to read... just love this girlie, and am loving seeing her get the bug of reading, just like aran and I ...

| The one thing about a chalkboard it that you can't frame the art.. well, I took a picture of this one as I just love it.. She called it.." Mommy and me room day..". She made it when I was painting her room. |
