Merry Christmas!
We are sending love to all our family and friends this holiday season. We are so grateful for all of the people in our lives!
Here’s a short summary of the Smith happenings…
Robert continues working hard at his own business. He currently has two residential developments he is working on in St. George. He enjoys working with the 14 and 15 year old Teachers at church. And, as always, Robert is the greatest help with the girls. Highlights of his year include a BYU football trip to Memphis and meeting Chad Lewis at the Spudman Triathlon.
This year I’ve taken up swimming and also started playing tennis. My hobbies are great but my full time job is the best (and hardest) part of life…taking care of the needs of 3 girls, figuring out what to feed the family, cleaning up whatever I decide to feed the family, the process of having clean children and clothes etc, keeping fighting as minimal as possible, homework, bills, getting everyone where they need to go (on time?), activity days and Young Women’s sports, hosting playgroups. Wait a minute! No wonder I’m half crazy!
Mackenzie (5) loves kindergarten. She always asks to stay for “extended day” and is always disappointed when it is Saturday. We love seeing the progress she is making with sounding out the words she writes and reads. Mackenzie loves animals, especially kittens. We may have to ban her from checking out kitty books from the library because of the sobbing it can cause.
I was worried about Brooklyn (4) being home so much without her pal Mackenzie (who is doing all day kinder). But she has done great. Luckily Brooklyn has preschool and dance twice a week so she can feel big too. She is constantly writing her name and drawing pictures for everyone. She also loves to help me in the kitchen. She always says, “I want to help make!”
And Charlotte…what to say about Charlotte…She is now 14 months and so, so cute and requires so, so much attention. We love watching her little personality developing. Her favorite foods are frozen go-gurts and mandarin oranges.
Much Love,
The Smiths
