Wave Hello to Thomas! No, really, “Wave Hello to Thomas!” … it’s Felicia’s new favorite book, replacing Maisy’s Bedtime in her required bedtime ritual. We read it three times tonight; no other book was allowed. It’s a “Lift-and-Peek-a-Board Book” and it’s our first foray into the Tank Engine (which was one of Jocelyn’s favorite characters, […] Jocelyn is ready for her California vanity license plate. Thanks to good friend Kaitlyn (Happy Birthday today!) for introducing us to this beginner reading series of books. “When I’m older and can drive, I know what I will put on my license plate: PONYPAL! I love the books and it’s seven letters.” It’s not quite Mother’s Day, but we’ll take what we can get. The Martin-Keller Daytime Trio teamed up with cousin Kiana and Uncle Timmy today for a trip to Bonfante Gardens! The five of us celebrated “Uncles’ Day” with Bonfante’s amusement rides, playgrounds, and new water park. Both Jocelyn and Kiana enjoyed the […] Karen and I are in Chicago for the annual convention for Rotary International (also the official celebration of Rotary’s 100th Anniversary).

Somewhere in between our trips, we’ll undoubtedly visit Bonfante […] OK. That was easy. Kindergarten officially ends on Wednesday, June 15, at 11:20 am (an early dismissal). Before the memories fade too far into the past, I have prepared a recap of posts related to our Kindergarten experience. The Girls chased the boys in “Kiss Tag” in September. Felicia tried to eat Jocelyn’s Homework in […] Although technically 16.7 months, Felicia had her 15-month check-up with her pediatrician today. For the statistically inclined, she weighs 24 lbs 13 oz, and is 30.5 inches long (tall?). Both figures are entirely average, and she’s been growing at an even pace. She hasn’t really mastered any words yet, but she is very rumbunctious and […] Felicia definitely understands that some food can be hot, but she hasn’t yet registered that patience can save a few tears.
