trick or treat

Hazel went trick-or-treating for the first time this year. She loved it--she walked around all night, saying, "open-it, please candy." The next day sure went on a walk and insisted on carrying her halloween bucket with her. (I think she was hoping to get more candy!)

Snow Day II

We woke up to more snow this morning, and the news of another snow day! We decided to bundle up and go outside...which Hazel HATED! Here are some pictures from our big snow storm!

SNOW DAY!!

I have my first snow day of the school year today. I received the first phone call for a two-hour delay at 5:00, then I managed to fall back asleep when the phone rang again at 6:00 calling off school for the day. I loved staying in my pjs until the late morning hours, baking blueberry muffins, and making soup that is keeping our house warm and smelling delicious! Not to mention the extra Hazel and Jonathan time I get today!



My parents came out to visit us in our new tome/home last weekend. Everywhere we went Hazel had to check that Grammie & Granddaddy where right there. They brought out a cute bee costume that Ethan liked more than she did!!

goodnight moon

my favorite thing that Hazel does lately came from reading goodnight moon. you know the story says, and "...a little toyhouse, and a small mouse..." well, we went to the zoo last week and Hazel saw a squirrel. She pointed at the squirrel and said, "it's a house" maybe it's not funny to anyone but me...is it terrible that I don't want to correct her?

"ma grandmere" digital storytelling final project

This is a digital story I created with the help of my mother's memory, my dad's scanning skills, and my understanding of the French language. It is my final project for a digital storytelling course, which will serve as an example to my French III students. They will do a project on someone in their family who has an interesting story to tell. I chose to tell about my grandmother, Ruth Rogers. Enjoy.
