Emmas teacher at Vacation Bible Scool (VBS) told me today that Emma is so "amazingly smart". Here teacher teaches during the school year and she was so excited by the interest in learning and the skills that she has. Awesome - who really are her parents?!?

The girls helped me pick up the house and Emma earned a little bit of allowance for doing some thins around the house. She is starting to learn saving, donating and such.

I have decided that poppy blooms do not last long enough and how great it would be have been Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz falling asleep in the field of poppies. Strange train of though, but mine are in bloom and they are amazing!
