PreK Week 1

Wow! So, Lauren is learning so much in her new class. She has work-book projects and homework- we have been bringing home a pile of stuff each day and she is thrilled and so challenged! She told me that if they all make good choices they are going to go on a field trip- maybe to the pumpkin patch! I love her new teacher Miss Allison, this is just a good, good thing!

Workbook from yesterday. She actually understood the rhyme part as was explaining to me why pot didnt rhyme.

She even had show-and-share yesterday and she told me she got to pick three children who had raised their hands to ask questions about her kitty she brought. This is amazing,  I love it!

1st Day of Pre-K

Lauren starts pre-K today in Miss Allison's room. She got to pick out a fancy dress and was all excited to go.  I just had to have her pose at the door like this- leave a comment if this picture reminds you of something....

Leadville Trail 100

Here we go- heading up to Leadville for Jeff's big race. Here is a link to the race webpage in case you would like more details. The short-and-sweet of it is that he will leave at 4am Saturday morning and attempt to run 100 miles through the mountains, up and over mountain passes. He has until 10am on Sunday to complete it, or he is done. His expected finish time is around 9am, but these types of things are hard to predict, a good portion of the people who attempt it will never finish.

I am going to try to post updates to facebook during the race, so consult fb if you are interested in how it is going. Good luck to us all- RUN JEFF RUN!!!

(to some people this is crazy, but for Jeff this is a long time dream of his. I am so proud of him for doing this, and cannot believe the strength and level of committment he has!)

Life is full of choices.....

... we control our destiny, when you head out into the world today, which one are you going to be?
