Day 110-Monday Random Happenings

• Bryan and I went to Parent Teacher Conference at Tate's preschool this morning. His teacher was so pleased with the progress he's made. For example: At the beginning of this school year Tate supposedly knew only 6 letter sounds (Although I think that he knew a few more than that), he now knows all 26. She said that Tate is extremely social with the other children and she called him a social butterfly.
• This afternoon Tate and I went to the lake. He spent a lot of time climbing trees. Tate has no fear and would climb to the top if I let him. I enjoyed taking pictures of him climbing. The lighting wasn't that great, but oh well.
• Tate's lab work came back this afternoon and his tests were consistent with a bacteria infection. So hopefully the medicine that he's on will help fight that off. I'm so relieved to know that it isn't something more serious.
• The house we are going to be renting is almost finished being remodeled. It's looking really good! I promise to post pics soon. We are planning on moving sometime this week. I haven't even packed one box yet. Living out of boxes is not something I enjoy, so for that reason I'm procrastinating until I know for sure that the house is ready:)
• I love Mondays because that's the day that our missionaries-Andrea (Bryan's sister) and Thomas (my brother) write emails home. They are both in the same mission (Tacoma Washington) and for a while they were even in the same area. Isn't that just crazy cool?
• Tate's letter to Thomas this week was really cute and random. It said, "Hi Uncle Tommy. I like you and James. I love Maria and Grandpa and your family too. Being a missionary is true. My primary loves me so much. I learned about apples and crackers yesterday. I'm done". From Tate
