Poetry Night with Jack

Parents were invited (required) to attend the 6th grade poetry night complete with your child serving you cookies and juice. Each student memorized and recited 2 poems, one that they wrote and one that an author wrote. No notecards! Jack was a little nervous but did a great job!

Sleeping

I cannot remember a time that Jack and Hannah have fallen asleep in the car. They even stayed awake on the 8 hour drive to Colorado a few years ago. Max and Will on the other hand have fallen asleep on the way to school after a full 10 hours of sleep!

Chicago - Part 2

Day 2 & 3 were spent on a double deck bus, visiting "The Bean", hot chocolate at Ghiraedelli, shopping and tea at the Drake Hotel. I am so thankful for a daughter and the chance to make special memories with her.

Chicago with Hannah - Part 1

It was finally the day of our highly anticipated trip to Chicago. Hannah counted down the days for weeks. She could't sleep the night before. When we arrived in Chicago, we headed straight for the American Girl store. Hannah and Lily picked out their dolls and we looked around for a long time. The next day we had reservations to eat lunch with the dolls in the cafe. It was everything that Hannah had remembered and we had a blast!
