I think we need an agent...

Katie was in the paper again! Well, it was the online edition of the newspaper, but that's almost the same thing, right?

Here she is, at a Pink Week festival at the local high school.

Bringing home a baby bumblebee...

We are slowly (thanks to Angie) figuring out something about Katie's learning style. When introduced to a new concept, she will vehemently protest that she can't do it. Then, the next day, she'll do it very well. She seems to really need that down time to process her learning.



The practice of the letter b was like that. She did them all buy herself!

Johnny Appleseed...

He was quite a guy,
A hero guaranteed!
And as American...
As apple pie!

It's weird what you remember from elementary school. That was a song from our second grade play. RAM = Random Access Memory




Katie learned about Johnny Appleseed at preschool. She's wearing a Johnny Appleseed hat. They also made apple on a drink lid with tissue paper and small twigs. So cute! And when I got there to pick her up, all the apples were hanging in an "apple" tree!

A is for Apples



Katie's preschool teacher is so creative! The kids painted apple trees, and they used paint on their hand and forearm to make the trunks!

The County Fair

We've taken Katie to the fair every year, but this is the first year she rode a ride. And my little daredevil skipped the kiddie rides, with their cute spinning strawberries and their tame dragon coaster. Katie ran straight to the Ferris Wheel.


And she loved it!

Art in the Park

Katie and I headed over to Art in the Park yesterday. My friend Kelly is displaying her amazing art there. Kelly's mother-in-law was displaying her fiber arts in the booth next door. The newspaper was hanging around, waiting to take pictures of a little girl playing with Kathy's toys. Katie happily obliged!



Katie Whitney, 3, of Richland, plays with a cloth tea set by Kathy Wetherell of Kennewick who was inspired to create the washable toys for her granddaughter Emily, now 9, who suffers from severe allergies.
