The Fantastic Five

The Saint George Trauntveins have been busy.

Erin is learning to read and is so excited about that. She thinks learning about reading is great. Grandma Barbara is a big help on the homework front and she and Erin are homework buddies. Erin is also learning about numbers and likes to do crafts and arts projects. She is really growing up and is becoming quite the little lady. She has lots of friends at school and her teacher likes her and thinks she is quite gifted.

Donovin is becoming quite and artist. He can draw people that even look like people, quite an accomplishment for his age. They have arms, legs, stomachs; chests, necks, faces (with eyes, noises, and mouths), and they even have hair. He drew a picture of his family and he was the only one who had short hair. (Both Grandmas like art. Grandma Barbara does wonderful portraits.) He remains an intelligent and loving little boy who likes to know about everything.

David likes his new job and the pay that came with it. He doesn’t have to go into homes anymore, which in St. George can be a plus.

Arbree is working and looking forward to the big trip her company and their spouses are going to take this January.

Barbara is being Grandma and is also baby-sitting a couple of other children. That gives Donovin some playmates during the day.

The family has been doing fun things together. They have done quite a bit of fishing and also like to hit golf balls at the driving range. They live just a couple of blocks from a golf course and have had fun. Donovin said that he doesn’t even need help to hit golf balls with his Dad’s clubs.
