Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

Happy First Birthday!

Katie turned one last Friday, September 2nd!  I had to work on her birthday, but my mom and my cousin, Garyldine, brought Katie to visit the classroom. She was very entertained by watching the students, and the students quickly began copying Katie when she started sticking her tongue out and pulling it back into her mouth. It was funny to watch!

Later that night, Garyldine and Jim came over to celebrate Katie's birthday with my parents, sister, and me. Katie enjoyed her gifts and attention. I wasn't quite sure what she would do with the cake since she had hardly had any sugar in her life. She really did not like the taste of the frosting when she tried it, but she did seem to have fun playing in the frosting.  She was in desperate need of a bath after the cake!

A New Book!

Sure About the Frosting - Yuck! 

It's fun to play with though!

It was a good first birthday!
