I knew the day would come when one of my kids lost a tooth at school and then really LOST the tooth. Today is that day, so the Tooth Fairy gets a note instead! Our John is down two teeth in less than 10 days!
John’s Turn
It was John’s turn to bring home his eight books for the Columbia Public Schools Summer Reading Program. He was so excited to get to check out books to bring home for the summer. Andy and I were amused to see that he checked out four books that he had checked out previously. Well, at least we know he likes them!
Best Birthday Card
This is one of the best birthday cards that I have ever received. Thanks Ian, Amanda, and Jack!
Singing
You can’t hear it in a picture, but Laura is singing her heart out to Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me.” Fun times with my girl!
Hike and Wedding
What a busy day! First up was a family hike through Finger Lakes State Park with the Girl Scouts to complete the Browning Hiking Badge. The girls (and all the adults and siblings) did a great job even though it was hot and humid in the woods. Laura has now earned nine Brownie badges, one Junior badge, and several fun patches. She has been a busy Brownie!
For the late afternoon and evening, we celebrated the wedding of some of our neighbors, Bryce and Sami, at Cedar Creek Resort. It was a beautiful setting despite the heat and it was lots of fun. Congratulations to two great people and we wish you many, many years of happiness!
My Birthday!
And there is no picture, but that is fine. I spent the day shopping, having a great lunch, getting my hair colored and cut, and relaxing with my family. It was a great way to spend a birthday.
Summer Reading Program
Laura came home from school with books for the Columbia Public Schools Summer Reading Program. This is such a great program! She was very excited to get to check out eight different books from the Ridgeway Elementary library to read during the summer. Laura has already read one of the books so I suspect that we will be going back to Ridgeway at the end of June to check out eight more books.
John will also have this same opportunity, but Unit A has not selected their books yet. That will probably happen tomorrow.
