December 2005
This was another year with a lot of things happening. Some highlights:

Joyce started Kindergarten which she loves. She is doing great! She is reading books on her own. She is doing great! She lost 2 bottom teeth in the beginning of the year.
Elroy started preschool at Mrs K's house and he loves it. Riding the silver bike is a big hit. He got potty trained just before school started.

Rene traveled around the world. Barcelona, Japan, Bangkok, India, Germany, UK, Prague, Paris & the Netherlands.
Karin got her business licence and is still working on two big mural jobs.
We went to the Netherlands in June and had a great time.
