Maddie's School Days





I found these from Maddie's days at Levy her kindergarten year and I love them and wanted to share. It is hard to believe she is going to be 7 this summer. She is enjoying her new school and whizzes by the homework and spelling tests. There are children from the countries Georgia, Croatia, India, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Turkmanistan, Turkey and Kuwait. It makes for some very interesting learning. They made a book about holidays around the world with maps and they talked all about where everyone was from, she colored Arkansas orange!!! We are happy with her many opportunities here! I am even learning a lot, like in Georgia they speak Russian! Jessie

Mash Potato Man







Hi everyone! last night we had dinner and Jack was begging to feed himself with his very own spoon, I thought, mashed potatoes are pretty neat, right? Here are a few shots, it is hard to recreate the grabbing and licking the plate, hehe! Also, not sure if you see the potatoes on his forehead, a bath was necessary afterward, but he had fun! In one of the shots, I couldnt help but ask, where is your spoon Jack and so he held it up for me, go figure! Have a good one!
