Hot Chocolate Season Begins!















































The other day the kids played outside for a bit in the cold weather! When they came in, they all wanted hot chocolate. It immediately reminded me of last winter. EVERY TIME they played outside, they wanted hot chocolate to warm back up!

What else is new with the McKellars? Bryan and I went to conferences for Rylee and Travis on Wednesday night. Miss VanderVeen said that she and Mrs. Cole just love Travis to pieces. He has already shown tremendous growth since school started. He is well-behaved, smart, cute, and just doing great overall! Rylee is also doing very well in first grade with Mrs. Pitsch. Her reading is FABULOUS and her writing is also great. Apparently Rylee has made a close friendship with one girl in the class, so she just needs to work on making more friendships and not being so "cliquey." Here I go with the drama of having a girl!!! But Bryan and I are both very proud of our kids. Tyson even got a mini-report card from his teacher! He is also doing very well in school. He participates appropriately in circle time and other class activities, he enjoys playing with his friends, and he is speaking in full sentences now. Most of his words still don't have beginning sounds though! But he is really talking so much more now. The other day he said, "Never mind!" when Bryan and I could not understand what he was saying. It is so cute to see all those little expressions that he picks up on.

And the last exciting news to share is that our basement is now complete! Last week we had the refrigerator delivered, and it added the last touch to our basement bar. Our grand opening party for our basement bar is scheduled for NYE 08.

Michelle and I work together. I started at DP Fox about 3 1/2 years ago. We've become close friends since. We actually have 3 people in our office that graduated from Rockford!
