Kindergarten Holiday Party 12-19-13

Happy Thursday! Last night Jacqueline and I took the staff out for the annual dental holiday party at Eddie V's. Everyone had a great time. Christi Vela, Toni Burrow, Karin Denton with Chip Littler and Amber Lovatos. Bubbie and Poppa babysat Maddie and Hannah and they had soooo much fun making gingerbread houses. I would have rather made ginger bread houses with the girls. No, I had fun! Today, is Maddie's holiday party with Miss Cooney's class. and tomorrow is a half a day. We are going to Orlando to visit Uncle Eric and Brandy on Christmas day until Dec 29th and going to Disney World with Anita, Steve, Helena, Sammy and her other boy. We are sooo excited.

Reading like a 3rd grader!

12/10/13 Madison got a great report today from Miss. Cooney that she is a great listenter and she is reading books like a 3rd grader!! We are so proud of her!

Madison and Hannah love school!

After a week of hating computer lab, Madison came home from school loving computer lab. She is learning the keyboard and basic computer commands, Ctrl Alt Delete, "x" out window boxes, and some learning websites. Hannah is such an independent little girl. She loves to play with her friends and she wants to put her clothes on by herself and go potty all by herself. The girls are so light! 24 and 37 lbs!!!

9/17/13 Madison wrote a book last night. She requested a pen and 4 pieces of paper. Page 1: I love my sister By, Madison Smooke Page 2: Hannah scratched me. Page 3: But, it was OK. Page 4: The End

A new year of school begins! We are 3 weeks into Kindergarten at Memorial Drive Elementary. Maddie is loving her time there. she is excelling and loves all the subjects that Mrs. Cooney is presenting. She has to do Spanish, English, Math, Science and Social Studies. Hannah loves Chapelwood Preschool. Her teach is Mrs. Schaffer. She is so nice. She has so many friends at school and her language keeps getting clearer. Hannah is starting to potty train and she is very aware and goes potty all by herself! She still likes sleeping in her crib, even though she has a big girl bed that she can go to!

4th of July was amazing but, we couldn't stay up past 8:30 to watch the fireworks at 9:30 We had a fun time in the 4th of July Memorial parade at St. Francis. throwing out toothbrushes from Poppi David's car.

Madison and Hannah were on the back patio cleaning it up with diaper wipes. And, showing me, "look daddy! Oh gross" "It is going to take a lot of those to clean up this patio and We are OUTSIDE!"

Great weekend! Making mother's day pottery for bubbie and Gigi for mothers day weekend. Maddie and Hannah had paint all over themselves but, it was fun. They got a coffee mug and a toothbrush holder respectively. Madison is counting coloring and writing letters to her friends. My girls are getting smarter by the day! Mommy is such a great mommy! We are painting a canvas for her and putting the girls pictures in the middle of the canvas.

Madison was yelling at the tiger at Rainforest and telling him to stop, "Roaring" because it was scaring her sister! She is the protective big sister. Having a great time with Molly and Michael Feinburg, Molly's boyfriend. Maddie and Hannah are having so much fun with them. Maddie is such a sweet, loving big sister. She is always trying to teach her sister something new.

Happy 9 year anniversary to my true love! I love you with all my heart, Jacqueline! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful wife and be the mother of my two wonderful little girls! If I had the chance, I would do it all over again, the exact same way! Love, Adam
