Our budding scientist

After winning a 3rd place ribbon at the school science fair, Haley was able to go to the regional competition. She enjoyed presenting her project board, but the most fun was growing her crystals and seeing them change over time.

Teddy's Visit

After much anticipation, Teddy finally come home with Jenna for the weekend! They had fun playing together and writing in Teddy's journal so they could share their adventures with their Kindergarten classmates when they get back to school.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

What a great Mardi Gras season! Gorgeous weather, good friends, and lots of throws! We went to 4 parades in all. O.S. had both a day and a night parade. The kids walked in the Children's Parade as Queen Susan and Queen Lucy of Narnia. Aslan road in the wagon with the throws. Of course, the biggest parade of all was on Fat Tuesday...the casinos and big krewes really know how to throw a party! Best throws of the season? Flowers, stuffed animals, glow-in-the-dark beads, a backpack, a tumbler from a casino, and of course, really big, fancy beads!

Happy Chinese New Year!
