Jocelyn started First Grade today at Booksin School, joining Miss Swanson and 19 new friends in Room 4. Actually, a few of our Room 9 Kindergarten friends are in this class, but not too many. She’s keeping a good attitude, though … convinced that seeing her friends at recess will satisfy her. Karen and […] Jocelyn is reading like crazy! It’s amazing, actually! She spent a good portion of the summer reading long chapter books and getting excited about Pony Pals and The American Girls (mostly reading about Kaya to start).

Felicia is […] Over the last 18 months, we’ve enjoyed posting comparison photos of our two girls, so everyone can see whether they resemble each other at equivalent ages.

This year’s Willow Glen PAL Under-8 Coed team includes some returning players and some great new ones. I’m looking forward to a fun year of soccer! We’re not sure how it will evolve, but WG PAL is hosting a “Soccer Blog” for our team (OK, it’s […] We’re not sure how, but with all of the excitement this summer, we hadn’t managed to visit Happy Hollow, a petting zoo and kiddie ride park very close to our house. Our friend McKenna took care of our omission, inviting us to join her and her mother for a visit today. We had a nice […] |
