My dad's family gathered at my Uncle Dave & Aunt Gail's house last weekend for our annual get together. Since our last gathering in January 2007, we welcomed 3 new babies, had 2 marriages and there is another baby on the way! There are now 38 of us & only 6 couldn't be there (they live in Washington & California). We are all looking forward to our next get together in June for Grandma's 80th birthday!!

ALLIE'S ADVENTURE
I got called to the nurse's office because Allie had a stomach ache yesterday at the very end of the day. As I chatted with her, I found out that she opted to only eat a cookie for lunch yesterday! I sent her back to her class (there was only 20 minutes of school left). After school, we headed off to Allie's dance class, where she got sick. She ended up throwing up in my hands in the dressing room & we ran outside (outside was closer than the bathroom was) & she was on Main St. Cedar Falls throwing up into a garbage can...reminded me of a drunk as the bars are closing!! She felt fine after she got sick & has been fine ever since. We don't have school today due to "blizzard like conditions" so she'll have another day to get well.
JAKE'S NEWS
Jake took his mid-year math assessment last week. It came home on Friday & I was SO proud to see that he had only missed one. I went through the test & found the one that we needed to correct. When I saw what he did wrong, I wasn't pleased...HE FORGOT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION!!! Once again racing to be the first one done!! A hard lesson learned.
Jake started his Science Enrichment class yesterday & came home with a ton of new knowledge about Madame Currie, Albert Einstein & George Washington Carver. This class is right up his alley!
Jake had Scouts on Sunday night & earned his Geography belt loop. He & Scott will start working on his Derby car soon.
The Cub Scouts earned their Geography belt loop: Back Row: Paul, Jake & Aidan Front Row: Nicholas, Sam & Will.
