Looking for Furniture

We went out looking for some new furniture for Katie's bedroom, and we decided to look at a second hand section of the store. Katie was excited to find Ronald McDonald in her search.

It's not every day that you find a bench like this!

Time for Ice Skating

 Maria invited Katie to go ice skating with her. They always have fun together.

Ready to try ice skating without holding onto the wall!

Grand Opening

 Katie and Maria decided. to go to a grand opening of an ice cream shop, not knowing that they would have to wait in line for an hour.

We weren't sure that the food was worth the wait.

Driving Class

How was it already time to learn to drive!?? Katie was very excited to get her driver's permit and enroll in classes last winter. The first time behind the wheel, however, brought on some nerves.

I had to put in lots of hours of driving. I was a little nervous the first drive which was just in a parking lot.

Visiting the Cats

Last winter, we did some renovation on our upstairs. Jennifer was nice enough to take care of our cats for a month while the workers were in and out. The cats always loved it when Katie went to visit.

I missed the cats when they weren't home!

Out Shopping

 When Katie went out shopping with Maria's family, Maria and Katie quickly found what they wanted.

Who doesn't like chocolate?

Already?!

How is Katie old enough for her driver's permit? She worked hard this past winter to go to driving classes, put in 50 hours of driving time, and pass all the tests she needed to pass in order to get her driver's license. Now she just has to wait for her birthday.

It made me happy to have two friends in my class.
