Story time...
Abby started a story... and while it wasn't finished she was so excited to give it to me. The message, encrypted in her bad spelling, says "I want to put up Christmas decorations". She is definitely a great little helper and clearly my daughter.
Career Speech
Sophie and her classmates had to choose a career and give a speech about it. At first, she was going to pick a professional dancer but after a little research and discussion with Dad, Sophie realized that dancing will not be the best path for her. Instead, she chose to talk about her dreams of being a Disney Pixar Animator. Sophie practiced the speech for a whole week and Dad helped her create a power point of photos and videos to enhance her presentation. She now watches movies and the credits much more closely and has a better understanding of what it takes to reach such a goal!
Macy’s Tree
It's never too early for a trip to the Walnut Room in November to get us all in the spirit of Christmas!
Frustrated...
This is what happened when I went to run a quick errand. Delivery truck swiped my mirror and drove off... GRRRR!!!!
Not too old...
Even though they are growing up fast, they are not too old for some dress up and pretend. Here they were pretending to be a bride and bridesmaid. Sister love.

In the crazy blizzard rainstorm of a day, we had a blast at Notre Dame seeing Garth Brooks perform live at his first stadium tour. What a fun experience to do with Lynn and Mike!
Fine Arts Night
Tonight we celebrated the fine arts at Naper School... by wearing a math T-shirt! Sophie and her classmates showed off her artistic and musical skills to the parents.
Girls Night in the City
Dinner with friends, walking around downtown, and a Broadway show.... now that's what we call a great girl's night in the city!
Fall Premier Soccer 2018
After a rough season last year, we were a little skeptical as to how well Sophie and her team mates would do on the Premier Soccer league. With a new coach and some changes in players, this team turned out to have a successful season of growing and learning. Sophie came outside of her position in goalie and learned a lot about playing the game of soccer. She and her team had a great time and look forward to another season in the spring.

Working for a goal
Sophie is in a stretch and strength class this semester, and came home on Friday night very proud to show us that she FINALLY got her splits. The next morning, Abby was determined to work at this goal as well. After just a little warm up, Abby called me in the room to show me that she got her splits also. The two girls were SO proud of their accomplishments!
