Daddy called me tonight before I left the office. I could hear Gillian in the background. She was super excited and talking very fast. I couldn’t understand what she was saying, but Daddy said he would explain when I got home. Today, Gillian and her class made a mask that looked like the Satute of Liberty.… Continue reading Statue
Grandma made Gillian and I new infinity scarves. Grandpa gave them to me at work yesterday. I picked up Gillian and she saw that I was wearing my new scarf and she asked “New scarf?” I said “Yes. Yours is in the car.” I gave her the new scarf and she said “I can put… Continue reading The scarf
I picked Gillian up from school yesterday. When I got there, she was playing Ring Around the Rosie with Dorlisa and two baby dolls.

When I got home today (after an hour and half drive home), I found Gillian snuggling on the floor in the living room. She said “I was cold. And I take your blanket!” How can you get mad at that? We waited patiently for John to get off the bus. My poor little boy… Continue reading Snowy Tuesday
On John’s first day of school, he came home and told us “We are going to have a music concert in June!” (check out First Day of First Grade).

Gillian and I picked John up from school today. In the car he said “Guess what? One of my tooths is loose!” I said “No way!” He was so excited and told me “The first time I noticed it was at lunch. My tooth hurt and I asked someone to look at it. And they… Continue reading The tooth
John has a friend named Maddy. Maddy is in the first grade at his school but not in his class. They met at Time+. Yesterday I picked up the kids from school and John told me “Don’t be mad, but Maddy and I wrote F’s on our hands. Because we are friends!” In the bathtub… Continue reading Friends
