Jordan is officially adopted! This takes the cake when it comes to celebrations.
Any other week, I'd also celebrate...
- Getting spoiled at the Choice Literacy Writing Retreat. I can't even put words to what it is like to have time and space to write, while being surrounded by other writers who just understand the process and the work and field of education.
- I'm turning 37. In all of the excitement I think only my parental units remembered!
- Hannah's 4-H project -- an adorable dress for her doll -- is complete. Hannah says she's never going to sew another stitch in her life. We'll see.
- Ball tourneys start today. This is bittersweet. We love baseball and softball, but will also love reclaiming our afternoons and evenings.
- I love the way Sam always finds fun. Here are two shots from Friday that capture his playfulness. Someone promise me he won't outgrow this.
