Happy Birthday James!








Well, better late than never, right! March 15th was his big day, and he had a great one. He had his favorite breakfast to start the day, which is bacon and crepes with nutella. Then he got to play around the rest of the day. His friend Jonathan came over and hung out with him, and even brought him a gift, a new webkinz! Pizza was the dinner of choice, and then we could close out the day. As you can see he had a football cake which he loved! It is so easy to make a six year old happy. Why can't they stay that way?!

Here are a few of James' favorite things: football, video games (about football), pokemon, lego star wars, and football. He is becoming a good reader, and is very meticulous when he writes. He loves numbers and how they relate to each other, and he is passionate about whatever he is talking about. We love you buddy!

Future President?



Well, maybe, but for now she will settle for impersonating Lyndon B. Johnson, our 36th president. The third graders in her school do a research project on presidents and they each get assigned one. At the end of the project they do a wax museum where they dress up like their president and stand behind a red button, waiting for someone to push it so that they can give you the facts that they found out about their guy. She had fun with it, and did very well in her oral presentation. She didn't even use notes! The recording stops mid way through, but the fun facts that Emma would like you to know about (that she said after the recording stopped) are: Lyndon B Johnson had a Texas BBQ on top of the White House. And his wife, two daughters and first dog all had the initials of LBJ. Good job Emma! We sure are proud of you!
