Davis' poetry reading party


Mrs. Pennington introducing Davis.


Davis reading his poem, "Leaves."




Davis with Mrs. Pennington. We will miss her!




Yesterday I was invited to listen to Davis' third grade class read some of the poetry they had created over the school year. Davis wrote a great poem about fall. Mrs. Pennington had all their poetry bound in a nice book for them and Davis dedicated his to me because I help him with his homework. So sweet! We will miss Mrs. Pennington!

Aubrey graduated from her spring class at the Little Gym yesterday. It was her last Mommy and me class which I'm a little sad about. In 2 weeks, she and Andrew will start a new class on Saturdays together. I'm not sure who's more excited, Aubrey or Andrew. We will miss Miss Sarah who just teaches the Mommy and Me classes (and who is having a baby boy any day now).

Davis' French Performance


My little mime!

Mrs. Cohen, principal.




We have loved everything about Davis' new school this year and his French performance was no exception! His French teacher has gotten a grant the past 3 years to bring in some experts and put on a performance. This year, the students were mimes, dancers, and drummers. Davis was a mime and a drummer. The expert was a drummer who studied in South Africa where they speak French. It was an outstanding performance and Davis did a GREAT job! Somehow my video of Davis drumming was lost but there is a video of them narrating for the story of Babar.

Davis is in the group standing on the right, he's right smack in the middle with a bandana around his neck.

I can't believe Molly Cate is 1 already! Aubrey and I took the opportunity to take a Girl's road trip to celebrate with Molly Cate, Caron & Kyle. It was such a fun trip and Aubrey was the best little traveler! She enjoyed getting all the attention from Nana & Pa without her big brothers around and she was fascinated with their cats! Here's to many more road trips together and Happy Birthday, Molly Cate!
