She does think there are some inte...

Happy New Year! These last two weeks have been busy and fun! We had our older sister visit from college for a week, did some family shopping, visited Luminaria at the Ashton gardens, celebrated both my mom's birthday and my older brothers.

Then we cheered the new year and watched fireworks. I also managed to do three math lessons and read "The Ranger's Apprentice vol...
