Dear Owen,

This week, you read your first books completely on your own! You are sounding out each word in the BOB books and they are making sense to you! This is just the beginning of what we hope will become a great passion of yours. Dad, Hayden and I all love to read, and based on how much you are enjoying even these simple stories, we know you will, too. It is very exciting to have another reader in our house! So proud of you, Buddy!

Love you,
Mom

Dear H, O and B,

Here is a little fall update for you! Hayden, at school you had both an Egyptian celebration and the Read-a-Thon. As a family, we camped and went to Tucson over fall break. While we were in Tucson, we visited JoHanna at the U of A. We’ve also been doing a lot of hiking as a family! We’ve had such a fun fall, but it has been HOT and we are ready to have the cooler weather that winter brings!

Love you,
Mama
