Leader of the Pack

Hannah is the student of the month for her first grade class. Her name is in the newsletter and her portrait is up on the big bulletin board near the school office. The teacher nominates the student of the month and the criteria is a bit vague, something along the lines of a student who is a role model. Ms. Leonard wishes she had a classroom full of Hannahs.












Hannah's reading skills are growing every day. Not only is she reaping the benefits but so is Evelyn. This is a big help since Evelyn likes to read the same book several times in a row.










More reading and thumb sucking.

Holiday Pics



Preparing for the big day. Evelyn helps decorate a cookie with liberal doses of sprinkles.














Hannah's controlled and organized decorating. Classic seven year old.













The tree and the booty on Christmas morning. We were up at 6am.








Opening!










Hannah gives her Christmas gift to Evelyn. A new book "wheels on the bus". Evie loves it of course.












Thank you uncle Tom for the musical Bongo drum. Please look at Robin's feet! He is wearing his new felted slipper I made for him. What a good husband.
