May 23rd- Adventures in Irvine and Orange

Last night we drove down to So Cal to visit with the Spencer-Overtooms and be there for Charlotte's Baptism tomorrow. The Ellen and Derek and Jack and Ava came from AZ for the party too. We had a great evening Celebrating Jean's Birthday with Pizza and yard play and a fantastic cake for dessert. 


Everyone greets Baby Charlotte when she arrives. 

Jack was wonderful and let Ella play baseball in back yard with him.

May 21st- Mid-Pen Awards

The only way I could make it so I could attend the awards ceremony at school today was to bring Ella with me. Various people watched her while I taught and then she hung out with all of us at the awards. She became obsessed with classroom keys and played with them for at least 45 mins. Then she found a basketball. I was impressed it is almost as big as she is.

May 15th- Mid-Pen Night of the Arts

Tonight was the Mid-Pen Night of the Arts. All of the music classes preform, drama puts on a show and all of the student art is displayed. Ella loved the live music and had a great time listening and dancing.




We had to take a family selfie. 

Some of Ella's adoring fans gave her a flower to play with. She used it as a cane as well as a flower.
