The Petersen Primer

This is the house on 1417 Lowell Street in Two Rivers. This is the Petersen’s house.

These are the Petersens: Kaj, Loralee, Michael, Kimberly, Stephanie, and Trinity. Oh, and then there’s Little Bit the cat.

See Trinity. Trinity is 4. Trinity goes to school on the bus. She likes to swim, put puzzles together and color with crayons. Trinity is a busy girl. She never ever sits still. Unless one of her favorite TV shows is on.

See Stephanie. Stephanie is a big girl. She is 5 and goes to kindergarten. Stephanie and Trinity had scarlet fever this summer. Stephanie has had a lot of sore throats since then. Now Stephanie is getting her tonsils out. We hope you feel better soon Stephanie.

See Kimberly. Kimberly is 9 and is in 4th grade. She sings in the school choir. She is a member of student council. She goes to ballet lessons, too. Aren’t you tired Kimberly?

See Michael. It has been a big year for Michael. He received his first communion on Maundy Thursday. He started Middle School this fall and must get up early to catch the bus. Michael plays baseball. Michael plays football. Michael plays basketball. Michael plays the trombone. Is it a lot of work to play so much, Michael?

See Kaj. Kaj works for New Resources Corp. They still have him placed at Agrilink Foods. Kaj is president of the church council at Calvary Lutheran. Calvary has no pastor now. Kaj has a big job. And he still has to be a Dad, too. He is also working on the family’s genealogy. Maybe Kaj needs a vacation?

See Loralee. Loralee is a stay-at-home Mom. See Loralee go to school for the children. See Loralee go to the library. See Loralee go to the doctor with children. See Loralee go with children to and from various practices and activities. See Loralee go to the church because she is a Sunday School coordinator. Go, Loralee, go. Why do they call her a stay-at-home Mom?

See Little Bit. Little Bit sleeps. Little Bit eats. Little Bit gets petted and loved. That’s about it. Don’t you wish you were a cat?
