These sweeties had a piano recital earlier this month and did so well! I am so proud of them and the time they spend practicing and learning the piano. I hope it brings them joy for themselves and also that they see the joy it can bring to others. Jacob played “Mr. McGill’s Boop Sha-Bop!” …
As Jacob is wrapping up his fourth grade year he has grown a lot in his reading. He continues to just devourer books. He often has multiple books going at the same time, which secretly drives me crazy, but it works for him! He has jumped several reading levels this year, but I asked him …
Thoughts this Winter Oh this winter. As I am writing this, we are in the thick of what feels like MADNESS, so I will try and reflect on the whole winter and not just our current status! This winter treated us really well in many ways. We are still, miraculously, where I kind of wanted …
