Kylie's Update

I had four correct guesses on the baby picture from the 8th.  The answer was Kylie and was guessed correctly by Grandma, John S, Lanita and Cheri.  You can all expect a handmade ornament for your tree sometime in December.  Thanks for guessing!


And speaking of Kylie, here is her update-


Kylie is working with Jacob and Clara right now on an in depth study of the US States in addition to her basic Math, Spelling and Language Arts.


She also enjoys reading and studying ancient history especially Egyptian and Roman. 


She is in second year flute and really enjoying it.  She is preparing right now for 2 flute recitals.  One with her homeschool band and another as a duet with her brother in his piano recital.  She let me take a video of her practicing outside on this rare, sunny, warm November afternoon.

She is also playing first year Alto Saxaphone which she is finding challenging.  She is making good progress and looking forward to playing that in the homeschool band recital also.

While Kylie does enjoy helping out at the retirement home she really enjoys working with younger children and collecting items for those in need.  This year she is helping coordinate our contribution to Samaritans purse.  We will be posting about that soon.

Kylie likes to write and read and just finished the entire Elsie Dinsmore series.  She also likes classics, her favorite probably being Sherlock Holmes.


Looking through baby and preschool pictures to share on her update I noticed that it is hard to find a picture of Kylie where she isn't smiling.  It is also hard to find a picture of Kylie or Jacob without the other one in it.  But that is enough reminiscing for now.
