Great Leader's Day

On this election day, students voted for president and also visited with great leaders of the past. Connection students like Haley researched a great leader then dressed up and presented during an all-day fair. Susan B. Anthony was a good match for Haley--both are strong, opinionated, girls-can-do-anything individuals that go after what they want. Susan B. looked great standing there with her "I Voted!" sticker on her dress. The real Susan B. would have been very proud.


The Susan B. Anthony profile pose--just like the dollar coin!


Great work, Haley!

Happy Halloween!

A Visit from The Tooth Fairy

Jenna lost her first tooth Friday night. After brushing her teeth for bed, she gave it a little wiggle and it fell right out! She was very excited. She showed it to everyone in the family, then wrapped it in a tissue and put it right under her pillow. As I tucked her into bed, so proudly told me, "I'm a big girl."


In the morning, Jenna was thrilled to find a gold dollar coin under her pillow and a certificate at the foot of her bed. Haley was proud of her little sister...look at this great photo she took!

Jenna's Wiggly Tooth

Jenna has been saying for a while now that she has a wiggly tooth, but no one has been able to tell except her. Well, after chomping into an ear of corn on Sunday, the wiggling is noticable to EVERYONE. So, just how much longer until it falls out?

A New Cousin!

Haley and Jenna were happy to meet their newest cousin, Emma Linh. She was born Friday, October 17, 2008. She arrived at 9:14 p.m.; weighs 6 pounds, 4 ounces; measures 19 1/2 inches long; and has lots of black hair. Congratulations Phuong, Kiet, and big brother Adam! She's beautiful!
