Noteworthy News


Hannah has once again demonstrated her strong qualities of determination and perseverance.  It was the school's annual fundraiser and they were selling Entertainment coupon books.  Other than buying something from my children I am not particularly supportive of them canvasing the neighborhood, but Hannah was determined that she had a worthwhile product and made a long list of people she thought would be interested. Her first attempt was with a neighbor that must have had a late night -- she came to the door in her bathrobe at 10am and wasn't interested.  That really shook Hannah up and it took her several days to muster up the courage to go out selling again, but she did it!  She spent several afternoons out selling and was able to make her personal goal of selling 10 Entertainment books!!!  I had to laugh at the loot she brought home.  Her prizes for selling included 2 free Entertainment books, a keychain, a stuffed animal, an inflatable chair, a drawstring backpack, and still to come are 10 seconds in the money machine and a candy grab.  I think this girl might take after her sales Daddy.


Jacob FINALLY lost his tooth!!!  It has been barely hanging on for weeks.  He was super proud to have pulled it out himself and insisted on keeping his tooth for Show & Tell tomorrow, after which he will let the tooth fairy come visit.  I love to see his smile with that cute gap in it.
