Life in Selma







-Bekah started going to pre-school on Tuesday and Thursday mornings - it's a great christian school in Kingsburg that she loves....and Sadie and I have been enjoing some 1:1 time while Bekah is busy learning :)

-We have been going to play dates, meeting friends for library story time, hanging out with Katie and Cole a lot and loveing it!, picking up the disastered house before daddy comes home while getting a homemade dinner on the table...almost every night :), playing a lot of make believe....princess, grocery shopping (with fake food and the orange tree outside our house), lion, fort castles, tea party, Friday night movie nights....with homemade sugar popcorn! The girls are playing so much better together lately - they still fight but what sisters don't - right?:)

- Sadie has gone Pee-on-the-potty a few times! It's so fun to see the excitement of both girls and to follow bare buns Sadie running into the Kitchen for a pee-pee treat...oh and she loves to walk around in these light up princess heals. Sadie loves to accesorize and Bekah loves to wear the "moving" dresses.

-I've started doing a Turbo - Jam video since I'm not able to go to the gym and the girls do it with me sometimes...although they only last about 3 min - such slackers :)

-Keith is getting the hang of his new schedule - he's gone around 6:15am and home around 6pm. The girls are usually waiting for him in their princess dresses ready to attack him when he walks through the door. Bekah is usually either yelling - "Prince Daddy come dance with me!" Or....she will run into her room when she hears him opening the door, jump into bed, close her eyes, pucker up and then yell....."Prince Daddy - I'm snow white and I've eaten the apple and you need to come kiss me on the lips!...and wear your cape" (a blanket he wraps around his neck). When Sadie realizes "Prince Daddy" is home she starts dancing with herself chanting Da-De!, Da-De! And for myself...I watch and smile. I'm so thankful that life is good, that I have a wonderful husband and that my girls have a prince in their daddy...I hope they will always view him that way.....

Cara - your words brought tears to my eyes! I have known Keith for a long time and have always thought that he was a price.

Yes, the "prince" thing kinda got Grampy's eyes a li'l moist... quite a bit removed from the nerf-arrow & sofa-tackle greeting familiar to our environs back when!

And WHO is that new little girl i see in those pix, and where'd you hide Bekah??... and attending preschool! Amazing.

High-fives to Sadie, too! What a big girl she is these days! The second child definitely learns from the first... she'll be on a totally different learning curve with big sis' out front.

We pray for you all without ceasing- and give thanks EVERY day for your sweet family!

Blessings,
Dad mike

Hi Keith, Cara, Bekah & Sadie - It's been a long time since I checked your blogspot, so there were many new posts & pictures for me.

I see you all have been busy with your new life & Keith's school. The girls are beautiful and I was glad to see your house & Keith's school.

Our grandaughter, Heidi, got her teaching credentials at Cal State @ Bakersfield last year & then applied for her Oregon credentials. She is subbing up here (living at home with Dad & Mom - Darryl & Sharon) She also got a tutoring job for a middle school girl that is unable to go to public school because of health challenges. She enjoys subbing at the high school & is thinking about getting her high school credentials too. She's a 'math' & science whiz, so is enjoying teaching the high schoolers.

I'm glad you are close to Katie, Rob & Cole too. Sounds like a nice deal for sisters & cousins! Best wishes & Easter Blessings. ~Auntie Jan~
