Open House

Tonight was the Open House at the kids' elementary school. Unfortunately, Holly had to be in Orlando for work, so I took some pictures so she could see the work that Chase had displayed in her first grade classroom.



It was a fun time, and it reassured me that things are looking good for both David and Chase this year.

Chase will be participating in a circus in September. She will be a clown, and I can't wait to go see her. This class project is done in conjunction with another class, and this will be the second time that one of our kids has taken part - when David was in first grade, he played a lion in the same show. We are all looking forward to it.

While talking to David's teacher, he told me that he has checked out one of C.S. Lewis' Narnia books from the library. Of course, it was The Silver Chair, not the best place to start the series, so we talked to his teacher about starting the series at the beginning. She was thrilled at his reading ability, and I'm excited that I can start sharing some of my favorite books with him. So very cool. He's still too young for Tolkien, but I think Narnia is a great place to start.

The PTO at school partnered with Carrabba's Italian Grill to provide dinner for the families tonight. We got to enjoy Chicken Marsala, penne pasta, Caesar salad, and garlic bread. Yum. Thanks Carrabba's! We even got a plate to take home for Holly, who was driving back from Orlando.

So the school year is in full swing, and things are looking great. We'll keep everyone posted on progress as the year moves along.

Take care!
