Dinosaur Museum!

This is the 4th Dinosaur Museum I have been to at St. Mark School. Nicholas in Pre-K, Rebecca in Pre-K and Kinder, and now Emily in Kinder. It is such a great opportunity for those students to showcase what they know and for parents to share in the rich learning environment that is a Catholic school.

What are you - a carnivore, omnivore or herbivore? I think I have become more of an herbivore since the Episode! Here is a slideshow of Emily and her classmates ( I blurred the nametags to protect the innocent).

Papa's 64th Birthday!

Everyone gathered at my folks' house last night for cake and ice cream to celebrate my dad's 64th birthday. That's right, he was born a leprechaun (or at least on St. Patrick's day). I cannot remember a birthday celebration of his that did not include green. For comparrison, see photos of the "Big Bash" mom had for him 4 years ago. Here's a slideshow with some more pics.

A Visit to the Animal Shelter

St. Mark's Scouts visited the Madison County Animal Shelter yesterday as part of a service project they are doing. They were able to learn about the shelter and visit with the animals. Kathy helped chaperone and had the girls tagging along. You can see their pictures in this slideshow.

New Pet

Rebecca and Benji look into the new critter's cage. We took a guinea pig from Rebecca's 1st grade teacher when she received all A+ on her report card this nine weeks. Rebecca named him Nibbles. I think Benji thinks he's Kibbles.

Father and Daughter Dance

St. Mark School had its annual Father Daughter Dance on Saturday night, March 4, 2006. Emily, Rebecca and I had a great time spinning and dipping. Both at the same time! I think this is going to be an annual event for us! Click here for the slideshow.
