Go Reds!

Thanks to Poppie & Granny, we ended up with 4 tickets to the Saturday & Sunday Reds games this past weekend, and a free hotel stay in Cincinnati. Here was the view from our hotel window...

What a fabulous weekend! It was so much fun! Thanks for the tickets Poppie & Granny, and a special thanks to Aunt Val for keeping Tessa & Shelby while we were gone!

Our Little Graduate!

Last night, Nora had her preschool graduation ceremony.

We were so proud of her. They sang about 6 or so songs, most about going to kindergarten. Then, she spoke very clearly into the microphone when it was her turn: "When I grow up, I want to be a teacher". I wonder where she came up with THAT idea! ;)
Each child had made a book about their school year. The inside had page after page of things about Nora, and samples of her work.
We also got this lovely coaster.
And then I noticed that the very back page of the book had all of her school photos from when she was in 2/3s, 3/4s, and this year (4/5s).
They had cake and punch refreshments!



After her dessert, we walked around to find her friends for picture-posing.








What a big girl! And what a big girl job she did.
