The girls had an easy day at home today – piano lessons in the morning (and recital prep) and then home until they had to go to rehearsal. Rehearsal was from 3:30-7 (though it ended a little early and they had to wait until I got there at 7). We came home and had dinner and hung out watching The Voice and doing photo albums (A helping me) and playing Sumdog (M). I am CAUGHT UP on photos. That means there are no outstanding photos that are not in an album. Shocking. Next I want to update frames in the house and organize all of the reject photos and other keepsakes lying around. An unending project! I also finished the girls' individual albums and need to buy one for the Captain for his ultrasound pics.

Daddy made it safely to Pakistan. He will be there until tomorrow evening and then returns back home on Thursday.

Here are some great scans of drawings and other stuff by the girls.

Here is a drawing that A made of Betsy Ross sewing the flag:

And here is something M drew at school:

 (It is true – she did make bracelets for all of the snow angels in her cast.)

Here is a story in the Lafayette Newsletter in which A is quoted (see bottom paragraph). She claims that she was totally misquoted and that she never said it.

And here is A's homework about the songs they learned (just like M's homework from 2 weeks ago). She wrote some very sweet things about how she feels about her family:

Tomorrow I will upload a story that M wrote that is very cute.
