Jurassic Quest

Since Ian wants to (maybe) be a paleontologist, this was a great experience (particularly) for him.

Pan de Muerto (Halloween Night)

One of the great things about having children is, you get to redo some of the fun things you enjoyed in your childhood - like Halloween costumes, trick or treating, and candy.

But also, you get to grow past that with them too. This year the consensus was: No trick or treating ("its too cold; the candy is bad for us; besides you don't let us eat it anyway); No costumes (Hana may have wanted to, but she very easily and happily acquiesced to the pleasure of the group to the extent that I believe that she was happier going with the group without even really giving much thought to what she WOULD HAVE wanted to do if not for the group).

Instead, we stayed inside. Turned off the lights. Read about Pan de Muerto, and enjoyed this sweet bread. Had fruit and cookies dipped in melted dark chocolate. And watched Jurassic World on Pay-per-view....and had a perfect night!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Ian's Birthday

This year for Ian's birthday we had gifts and cake at home; went out to dinner; and he invited a friend to join us a Dave and Busters for game-time. Each with a sizable spending allowance, and burgers!!

Hana in September

Back to school time is always busy and hectic as adjustments and modifications are made for new experiences and curriculum. Hana has a big heart and helped a new student feel welcomed. She enjoyed spending time composing music and having fun on her first playdate with her new friend.

Fall recital (for those students that spent the summer working on songs) was a great opportunity for Hana to get all dolled up and perform - as she likes to do!!

And finally, there are plenty of opportunities to get outdoors (at the library park this time) and get fresh air and sunshine as the daylight hours are still long!!
