Snowden surprised me early this month with his ability to READ! I had no idea- one day he just read one of Katie's flashcards to me. The first official word: CAN. (I love that "Can" was his first word. Of course I am assuming he was thinking of the verb form not the noun.) Since then he has been reading everything in sight. Last night (12/21/09) he read 5 of the first "Hooked on Phonics" books.

The Nutcracker
Matching outfits from Katie's birthday celebration- how cute they were. We had a really special night out with Carly and Jennifer when they invited us to the Nutcracker at Chrysler Hall. The girls took lots of pictures of each other and us, did a great job staying focused during the performance, and then dissolved into crazy silliness as we got ice cream later on. The perfect evening!
School Club Roundup Winners
This is my AM class and PM class receiving their certificates from Mr. Siff from the k4amg club for their participation in the October international Ham Radio event "School Club Roundup." They made contacts with almost all the United States and several foreign countries that week. How cool is that to talk to Ukraine, England, Italy, France and Switzerland all in a week?

November Flood 2009
Katie and Snowden woke us up saying, "there's a flood in our yard!" And they were right. Four days and nights later we are finally going home to deal with the mess. Someone is coming to get our water system and hot water heater fixed. And only one corner of the living room got wet inside- we got lucky! But the garage is a big flooded mess.
