Leo

This boy is a great big second grader.

He likes school even though,

"all we ever do is work, work, work."

He loves to read.

He is almost always happy to read by himself or to his brothers,

but he still loves to play outside most of all.

This year his artistic talents have really emerged.

Ty and I can barely draw stick people,

so we're not sure where his talent with a pencil came from.

We've been pretty amazed with the drawings Leo brings home from school each week.

Leo is a great older brother and does his best to look out for the other kids.

He is also really into the holidays.

He makes sure we have the house properly decorated

and that we do all of the "appropriate holiday activities."
