Winter Break Fun...

I know this is not all school related, but I thought I would share what I have been doing over the winter break.  I have been able to spend a lot of time with my family.  It has been a blast.  I cannot believe how much Lainey has grown in the past 9 months.  We also have enjoyed the snow.  Shannon loves snow and is hoping Lainey will love it just as much.  We did not have a sled, so we had to improvise.  We are excited because one of Lainey's gifts this year is a pass to the Newport Aquarium (once we go, I am sure I will let you all know).  We are looking forward to using that during these cold winter months.  I think she will love going through the tunnels with the fish surrounding her.  I hope you all are doing a lot of fun things over your break.  I look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday and Thursday.  Feel free to leave a comment and share what has been happening!

Holiday Fun...

Shannon, Lainey, and I went to the Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo this weekend (we bought a membership for Lainey for one of her Christmas Gifts and thought we should already put it to use).  It was such a great family outing and enjoyed the crowds of laughter, listening to people, and of course...drinking hot chocolate.  I hope you and your family have some holiday fun.  I would love to hear about it.  If you children want they can always write a story about the fun and share it with the class.  In addition, you can share it on the blog and we will read it together in class!

Lainey waving "Hi" to everyone!
