The first week of school for Raquel has been an exciting one, as now that she's a 3rd grader she can be in the choir and join the jump rope club! She has been wanting to do this since 1st grade and now the time is here. Everyday she comes home with something new she wants to do and has to show us - she is the entertainer and always will be! Also, she constantly needs to be entertained - so, there is never a dull moment in our home.
Micheal Ann had a 1/2 day of kindergarten yesterday. Daddy took her to school, met her teacher and then picked her up to take her to Kindercare for the remainder of the day (she was not happy to go back there). She called me on her way to Kindercare and told me how much fun she had with Mrs. Shielee and that she can't wait for Thursday when she gets to go out for recess, play with her new friends and have lunch in the cafeteria. She is looking forward to all the great adventures ahead of her and we can see and hear it all the time. She is growing up so fast.
On another note, Saturday we went to the Oregon Zoo (thanks Mom - we love our Zoo Pass!) Anyway, the other week a baby elephant was born and it made big news up here and I'm sure some of you heard about it or maybe not. The birth was traumatic for the elephant herself and her baby - but now all are doing well and this week it will get named (stay tuned!) The Zoo has had a facelit and we had a really enjoyable day with the girl's walking all over and standing in line to see the baby elephant --- asleep! Oh well, with the zoo pass we can go anytime and see him playing!
I'm sure if you go to the Oregon Zoo website you can read all about it!
