Bedtime reading

Katie loves books--she just doesn't like to read them! She's not quite interested in the story. In fact, if she thinks I might be reading to her, she'll cover up the words with her hands! I'm actually impressed that she knows that the words mean something.

But this afternoon we bought Thomas the Tank Engine's ABCs, and she let me read it to her cover to cover--twice! And she took it to bed with her! Will this be her Panda Bear's Paintbox?

Good news!

I don't know why I haven't been updating the blog lately. There's been plenty of stuff going on. I kind of think it's because my keyboard has been sticky, but that's really no excuse for withholding the news.

May 2nd, I presented my special project for my master's. I am done! More years on it than I wish to consider, but I am done, done, done!

The next Friday, Jared received the letter that accepted him to CBC's nursing program! We are so excited for this! It's a two year program, so it's going to be hectic around here, but so worth it.

Endings and beginnings.

The Hokey Pokey Man

Our neighborhood is, apparently, worth the ice cream man's time. Apparently the retirees and families-with-high-schoolers are a good client base. Who knew? We don't usually patronize the hokey pokey man, but he was pretty persistent one day last month.



Katie is into Dora the Explorer right now, so we decided to buy a Dora ice cream bar. Despite Dora's chocolate looking hair, it's banana flavored ice cream. And I have no idea what those things that made her eyes were. Katie didn't eat them, whatever they were.
