"We Are No Part of the World" Circuit Assembly ---

The family enjoyed a weekend together last week up in Natick, MA. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed some time together sans kids, as the children have grown up enough to have their own circle of friends and are old enough to go off on their own for awhile during lunch and after session.

Bunches of Pictures ---

Been far too long since our last post, so here's a bunch of pictures to fill in the gap a little.

Getting Ready for Summertime ---

The family has taken up bowling as a pass-time. Eliza started last June in a local league and Mommy and Daddy followed suit this winter. Currently Mommy and Ella Grace are in a league and Eliza will be joining her second one this summer.

Now that the weather is warming the family has been having cook-outs again at Lala's and Fubbie's. Yard work has begun again. Eliza and Mommy have started seedlings and they've done their own flower arrangements this year. For the first time Eliza has gotten her hands dirty, planting her seeds this year without gloves.

Happy passed away the first week of September. Shortly after we adopted Greyhound, who's turned out to be a monster of a cat, over 20lbs at this point. We also adopted two more kittens, Cuddles and Cierra. They are very active and full of life and have brought a lot of joy to the house.

We are currently making preparation for Ella Grace's graduation from the Magnet School. She will next be going to the Dual Language Arts Academy in New London where she will be taught in Spanish every other week to help her learn the language. She continues to study Chinese as well.

Eliza is reading very well and even reads some of her books all by herself. She'll be switching to a bilingual class at the start of the next school year.
