Cute picture


I took a minute this morning to take this picture on the way to school. Usually we are so rushed and I am yelling at everyone to get moving but this morning was different. Everyone was happy and we had a few extra moments so I took a picture.

One great teacher

I must say I was very resistant to Ellie leaving Ogden and going to an alternative setting but it was right for Ellie and she could not love her teacher more. A couple months ago, Ellie said to Ms. Focht, "You only need one great teacher and your it. " Today, Ellie is very sad for Ms. Focht because she has to leave to go see her grandma because she is in a coma. At lunch today when I went to give Ellie her medication she said she wanted to do something nice for Ms. Focht for when she got back -- we will work on that this weekend.

Tonight Ruthanne sent an email about what Ellie had said to her...
When I put Ellie on the bus she told me she would miss me. She said, "You won't be here for the 100th day!" I told her I would be there in my heart and she said, "I'm just going to pretend you're there!"

It is really nice to see Ellie miss people and have that connection with them. Both Peter and I are so thankful for all that Ruthanne has done for Ellie -- she has blossomed in her class!

Grandpa is a special person!

Today Tate had bring a special person to school day and he brought Grandpa. I asked him who he wanted to bring and he said Grandpa and I think he was sad and quickly changed is mind to me. Once I told him I was okay not to go, he promptly called Grandpa back and the date was on.

Tate and Alec

Today was Alec's party at McDonald's. Tate was so excited to go there to celebrate with him. He did not want me to leave him there -- my baby still needs me! :)

EB gets crafty!


We had a very calm quiet weekend, spending so much time cleaning and looking for EB's nintendo ds. EB did get some time for crafting and made everyone in the family a special sign and Peter a book. Just took such time and they were great.







Isn't her sign great. She was so proud of it and was eager to pose for a picture.

Love this -- RRD -- Red Rose Daniels



Harper loves Levi!

Harper could not love Levi more than she does. I got this picture of her kissing him and rubbing his nose.

All About Me!

Today at school was Tate's day. He was star of the day and he had to do a poster "All About Me". He was so shy when he got up there to talk I could not believe it. It was so cute when his friends were asking him questions. The day was made even better that it was pajama day at school.
