For the Grandmas… and me, cause seriously, tennis clothes on little girls is ridiculously cute! And the girls are getting better and better. They have been working on serves, so that is adorable, and they are doing better at listening to Alex’s directions. Love these girls!

One of my favorite things about LIS (Sophie’s school) is that they have swim lessons 1 time a week. Sophie has become so much more confident in the water this year and I attribute a huge part of that to her being in the water far more than ever before. Right before Spring Break the [...]

At Sophie’s school they have what are called Student Led Conferences. Instead of me talking with the teacher, Sophie took me around her classroom, showed me her portfolio, played some games with me and read me a book. After that we were able to tour her other classrooms. We went to the PE room, music [...]
