Guinn Family update!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to say hello and send some cute photos of the kiddos (minus Ash- sorry) for you all to see. We are staying busy- Ash is counting down the days until she leaves for college. She has decided to go to a school that is about 30 minutes from home. One of her friends' sisters is going to be her roomate. She is very excited to be on her own, but I am sure she will miss us the first week! (At least that is what I am telling myself!)

The boys are having fun with each other. Liam tells me that he loves his baby brother every day and he loves to give Austin hugs and kisses. The only problem is that he likes to hug him around the neck (!!) and he is a little too enthusiastic about his demonstrations of love. Austin turned one this month and he is trying to walk. I don't want him to be a "big boy" and walk yet, but the rest of the family is determined to teach him to walk. He learned to clap this week, so whenever we say "Yay Austin" he smiles really big and claps his little hands. It is so cute.

Sarah is loving first grade still. She told me the other day how much she likes her teacher. She said "no offense to my other teachers, but I like Mr. Straube the best of any of my teachers". She says some of the funniest things. She has always picked up the meaning for words easily and she uses adult words properly in conversation. I think she waits and waits for an opportunity to use each new word and then she uses it- much to our delight. She is a funny kid. As you can see from her photo, she is getting her permanent teeth. They are so much larger than her baby teeth- she suddenly looks grown up!

Well, I hope you are all doing well. I hope to hear from all of you soon! I miss seeing everyone and I hope we can keep in touch somehow. I love you all.
