This has been a busy week! Melissa was sick all week and it was a little scary for awhile. Now she's on the mend and Alex has caught the bug. I hope Samantha doesn't get it because she rarely gets sick, but when she does it's always intense. So here's what happened this week.

First of all, this is my beautiful daughter Samantha who I am extemely
proud of. She was selected as one of two students to represent her class in a Horizons showcase at a local high school. Horizons is the name of the gifted and talented program she finally got into this year for English. Their class project was writing books with sight words for 1st graders in another state. This is a picture of her in the wind while walking into the high school yesterday.Samantha in the Wind


Alex is a Big SqueezeAlex also had his field day this week and it was a lot of fun. He came home completely exhausted and fell asleep at about 5 p.m. and didn't wake up until the next morning. Here's a photo of him in one of the races. This one is called "The Big Squeeze".

Melissa is rotten. Some of you may not believe it, but it's true. It's all my fault but I don't know what I did wrong. A few weeks ago she found a sharpie somewhere and look what she did to my bed. And look at her proudly displaying her work. She has no shame at all, and no conscience!
