We spent a delightful couple of days on Cape Cod. Too cold for swimming, but fun nonetheless.

Coach calls it a “Ted Williams” swing. Dawit takes the more intense approach, attempting to smash the ball as quickly as possible. Lily needs to [...]

Lily just arrived home from 2 weeks in Mexico. Here she is getting off the “plane” with her suitcase filled with souvenirs. At the Fiesta we heard songs and had snacks and previewed a book of work from the entire year. Kindergarten is such fun!

Big day today! Dawit is graduating from preschool–an event he (and now we) call Congladuration. It’s ninety and humid, but he insists on long sleeves and a tie.
He’s getting dressed now, and practicing his songs for the short performance. John asked what they would be singing, and Dawit said This Land is [...]
