Busy! That pretty much sums it up! No slowing down now! We listened to a Jazz band concert, attended a Cardinal assembly, and got to meet State Rep. Costello this week! The kids had a great time and were very well behaved.
We have been working hard at play practice. Keep practicing those songs and speaking parts!
We are also learning about Ellis Island. If you have any family that traces back to Ellis Island, please share!
