6th Grade Trip

Christina and the rest of Birch Lanes 6th grade took a boat ride
around the Ststue of Liberty.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had barbecues, soccer games, a 5k race, the Star Trek movie, and
opened the pool. Don't want Tuesday to come.

Secret Special Study Time

Everyone else went in early so Mackenzie and I studied social studies
at Starbucks.

Crazy Hat Day

Mackenzies sporting an aquarium hat. Courtneys got an octopus on her
head. Matthew made his this morning. It's got wands on it and has
something to do with the Wizard of Oz. Christina made a paper hat with
flowers from a lei. There are stories that go with all this, which I
can't wait to read!

Professional Day

As part of Spirit Week at Birch the kids dressed up as what they want
to be. We had a stunt woman, a monkey trainer, a golfer and a
reluctant chef who stuffed her spatula in her backpack in case no one
else dressed up.

Isn't he sooo cute?

Guess what I'm getting for Mothers Day...

He's 8 weeks old and cute as can be.

Spring Concert

We have the pleasure of listening to the orchestra, band, and chorus
entertain us. Mackenzie had to go to soccer, so she missed mostvof it.
Christina played cello. Matt played clarinet up with the 5th graders.
Courtney played up too with the flutes.

Wig Wam

Mackenzie made a cool wigwam with the cutest popsicle stick indians.

Lunch with Courtney

Courtney and I ate by the bay, went exploring (discovered the coolest
jellyfish imprint in the sand) and rode swings before going back to
school and work.

Beach Day! (In April!)

It was sooooo warm today we had to go to the beach!

Puppet Show!

The 4th grade Magnet class put on a show about global warming with
their handmade endangered animal puppets. It was very cute.

Girly Girls

We're getting ournails done.

Beach Bums

We couldn't wait to go to the beach.

Christina got stitches!

Running around in the dark with her cousins out in the back yard
Christina ripped a nice gash in her leg on a pole. 9 stitches inside
and 12 stitches on the outside.
